and light weight leather. It has ball bearings on the rear end
of the arm shaft and hook driving shaft. The needle has a maxi
mum throw of 3/16 inch, vibrating both sides of a centre line.

fully used In general tailoring work and the manufacture of
articles such as trousers, coats, gloves, and for certain opera
tions In the manufacture of shoes, such as attaching side and top
facings to the linings and butting canvas or felt toe pieces to
the end of the vamp.
In the manufacture of table covers, draperies, scarfs, etc.,

needle has a maximum throw of 5/16 Inch. It Is designed for
basting and tacking coat pads.
