IDENTIFICATION OF MACHINES
Each Union Special carries a style number which is stamped in the name plate on the machine. Style numbers are classified as standard and special. Those which are standard have one or more letters suffixed but never contain the letter nzn. Example: 51400 A. Style numbers contain the letter nzn are special. When only minor changes are made in
a standard machine a nzn is merely suffixed to the respective standard style number. Example: 51400 AZ.
Styles of machines similar in construction are grouped under a class number which differs from the style numbers in that it contains no letters. Example: 51400.
The distance between the rows of stitches is represented by a gauge number measured in 64ths of an inch, viz: 9 gauge represents a distance of 9/64 inch; 64 gauge represents a distance of 64/64 inch, or 1 inch. The gauge number of machines, making three independent equally spaced rows of stitches, represents the space between adjoining rows or onehalf the overall measurement, viz: No.6 gauge represents
6/64 inch or 3/32 inch, No.9 gauge represents 9/64 inch.

APPLICATION OF CATALOG
This catalog applies only to the standard styles and gauges of machines as listed. It can also be applied with discretion to the special machines in the "Fifty Thousand Series".
NEEDLES
TYPE NUMERS AND SIZES
Each needle has a type number and size number. The former denotes the kind of shank, point, length, groove, finish, and other details. The latter denotes the largest diameter of the blade, measured in thousandths of an inch midway between the shank and eye, and is stamped in the needle shank. Collectively the type number and size number is the complete symbol.
To have orders promptly and accurately filled, the empty package, a sample needle, or the type and size numbers should
be given. See marks on packages. An intelligent order would read as follows: "1000 Needles Type 106 Size .036". The type numbers of the needles most commonly used in the styles of machines covered by this catalog are listed below. Set opposite each
type number is the definition of the needle.
