Thanks to photos on this forum,  I was able to identify the Pearson and Bennion machine that I used for years when I made carriage harness. I still have it.  It is a Pearson and Bennion #4.  As I was not doing volume production, I never motorized it, but used the original pedals, which gave me plenty of control.  It uses the same needles as early Landis machines, fearsome looking things about four inches long---was always  careful not to impale myself, and never did.  Had to go back to electrical engineering due to aging eyesight, but would like to know more about the machine.
