The Standard Rotary Survey Results The NeedleBar MEMBERS' SURVEY RESULTS The Standard Rotary (Standard Sewing Machine Company) Compiled by Gina Bisco Thank you to Alan Quinn and the Needlebar Group for making the survey possible, as well as for their ongoing sewing machine research that so greatly benefits all of us with an interest in these old machines. Summary of Results One of the most fascinating aspects of Standard Rotary sewing machines made by the Standard Sewing Machine Co.
Is that some of them will take an attachment called a chainstitch spider which installs in place of the bobbin case and (used along with a special chainstitch needle plate) converts the machine from straight stitch to single thread chainstitch. The spider that came with my Standard Rotary serial number 770155 worked well in that machine and one with a later serial number, but it would not fit it into any of my machines with a lower serial number. In doing this survey, I was hoping to find out whether there was a version of the chainstitch spider that would fit the earlier Standard Rotary machines.
The earliest serial number for a machine in the survey that was confirmed to have a spider is 727368. Whether there is a version of the spider that will fit Standard Rotary machines with a serial number lower than 700000 remains to be discovered. (Update August 2009. Machine #545,868 accepts and is able to use a solid center pin chainstitch spider. The use of the spider may depend on the type of hook mechanism and bobbin case the machine has.

Further details in the ) The earliest machine in the survey has serial number 62565. Machines with serial numbers lower than 174193 have the serial number on the flip-up plate (Photo 1). Machines with serial numbers above 182514 have the serial number on the stitch length plate (Photo 2).
This serial number division also signifies a general change from the springless felt and grooved disk tension assembly (Photo 3) to the tension assembly with a spring and and a takeup spring with one free end (Photo 4). Ets2 Driver Plates Mod more. Two machines earlier than 174193 are reported as having the J tension assembly; perhaps the tension assembly was replaced with a later version sometime during their working lives. Front and back of spider with hollow pin, which fits 'stout' machines at least between 1247790 and 1362800, and possibly above.
The 4 feed dog variants (Photos 10, 11, 12, 12) do not seem to be perfectly correlated with any particular serial number sets except that versions 1 and 2 are found only on 'slim' machines and version 4 is found only on 'stout' machines. Note the slight difference in configuration between versions 3 and 4: on version 3, the leg of the L-shaped feed extends only to the front edge of the needle hole; on version 4, the leg extends well beyond the front edge of the needle hole. Feed dogs version 4. Adobe Offline Activation Response Code 403. The two known variants of the common leafy vine decal, 'multi' (Photo 14) and 'brown/gold' (Photo 15), are both found on quite early 'slim' machines as well as much later 'stout' machines.
