Members billybopp Posted January 16, 2020 Members Report Posted January 16, 2020 I came across this article today, and thought it might be of some interest here, particularly for those old iron fans. It covers how the first sewing machines came about, how Singer came to dominate the market, and some of the social changes they brought about. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-50673541 Enjoy! - Bill Quote

CFM chuck123wapati Posted January 16, 2020 CFM Report Posted January 16, 2020 that first one sure looks like a finger muncher lol look at that gear assembly hangin out there. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

LOL. Yeah. That does look terrifying! But that's how a lot of stuff was until relatively recently. The folks that designed and sold it trusted people would be smart enough to not put their fingers in the gears. Liability lawsuits weren't a thing. - Bill Quote
