Section II. DESCRIPTION AND DATA

6. Two-Needle Sewing Machine
(Singer Model 112W116)
a. General. The sewing machine (fig. 1) is a
two-needle, lockstitch machine. It is designed to
sew two, parallel rows of stitching in medium
weight materials such as denim, light canvas,
duck, or heavy nylon. In parachute maintenance
and repair, this sewing machine is used pri
marily in sewing panel sections in parachute
canopies.
6. Feed. The two-needle sewing machine uses
compound feed to carry the material through
the machine. The drop feed consists of a feed
dog and a needle bar rock frame that work to
AGO 104MA
gether to pull the material through the machine

while the needles are in the material. At the
same time, the puller feed rolls (20. fig. 1)
located behind the needles, turn toward the back
to pull the material evenly. Thus help maintain
a straight even seam. For parachute work, the
puller feed roll rolls are cork-faced. For other
types of work, rubber-faced or corrugated steel
rolls may be used.
c. Sewing Hooks. The sewing 'machine has
two rotary hooks with mechanical openers. With
each rotation of the arm shaft, the hooks make
two full turns, catching the needle threads and
carrying the thread loops around the bobbin
cases.

d. Machine Stand. The sewing machine is

supported by a rigid stand with a heavy wooden
top and adjustable metal legs. A rectangular
hole, 20i/' by 7 inches, fits the bed of the ma
chine, which rests on wooden ledges around
the rim of the hole, and on the puller feed roll
shaft, which rides in two bridle irons behind
the machine bed. The puller feed roll shaft
serves as a pivot for tilting the machine back
to expose the assemblies under the bed of the
machine.
e. Electric Motor. The sewing machine is
powered by a 105-115-volt, 60-cycle, Vsi-horsepower, alternating current, electric motor (17,
fig. 1 ) . The motor is mounted at the rear of the
machine stand under the stand top and is con
nected to the balance wheel by a belt. The op
erator controls the sewing machine head by a
starting treadle (15) which is attached to the
clutch assembly on the motor drive shaft.

7. Four-Needle Sewing Machine

a. General. The sewing machine (fig. 2) is a
four-needle, lockstitch machine. It is designed
to sew four parallel rows of stitching in medium
weight materials, such as denim, light canvas,
duck, or nylon. In parachute maintenance, this
sewing machine is used primarily for stitching
the seams of the upper and lower lateral bands
on parachute canopies.
6. Feeds. The four-needle sewing machine
uses a drop feed and puller feed to carry the
material through the machine during sewing.
The drop feed is made up of a feed dog with
three serrated lugs that move up and backward
to push the material under the presserfoot. The
presserfoot (20, fig. 2), in turn, holds the ma
terial tightly against the feed dog. The puller
feed, mounted behind the presserfoot, consists
of ]two rolls (21) which turn toward the back
to pull the material evenly and thus help to
maintain a straight seam. For parachute work,
the puller feed rolls are cork-faced. For other
types of work, rubber-faced or corrugated steel
rolls may be used.
c. Sewing Hooks. The four-needle sewing ma
chine has four rotary hooks with mechanical
openers. With every rotation of the arm shaft
the hooks rotate twice, catching the needle
thread loops and carrying them around the
bobbins.
d. Machine Stand. Refer to paragraph 6d for
information concerning the machine stand.
Stands for the two-needle and the four-needle
sewing machines are interchangeable.

8. Heavy-Duty Sewing Machine

(Singer Model 7-33)
a. General. The heavy-duty sewing machine
(fig. 3) is a single-needle, lockstitch machine
designed for medium and heavy work in canvas,
duck, or light leather materials. In parachute
maintenance and repair, this sewing machine
is used primarily for sewing pack trays and
webbing.
6. Feed. The heavy-duty sewing machine has
a drop feed which is made up of alternating
presser feed and a feed dog to pull the material
through the machine during sewing. The vi
brating presserfoot and the notched lugs of
the double feed dog move at the same time to
pull the material through the machine as the
AGO 104MA
needle moves up. The lifting presserfoot then

holds the material in place while the next stitch
is being made and while the feed dog and vibrat
ing presserfoot move back into position for the
next stroke.
c. Shuttle. The heavy-duty sewing machine
has a long beak, oscillating cylinder shuttle
which holds the bobbin vertically beneath the
throat plate. With each rotation of the arm
shaft, the shuttle rotates one-half turn and back
again. This rotation allows the hook to catch
the needle thread, loop it around the bobbin, and
thus form a stitch.
d. Machine Stand. The machine head is sup
ported by a rigid stand (fig. 3) with heavy
wooden top and adjustable metal legs. A rec
tangular hole 25Vi> by 10 inches accommodates
the bed of the machine, which rests on two
bridle irons (14) bolted to the bottom of the
stand top. A second opening, 6 inches square,
with a wooden cover, provides access to the
shuttle assembly.

9. Very-Heavy-Duty Sewing Machine
(Singer Model 97-10)
a. General. The very-heavy-duty sewing ma
chine (fig. 4) is a single-needle, lockstitch ma
chine. It is designed for medium, heavy, or very
heavy work in canvas, duck, or leather ma
terials. In parachute maintenance and repair,
this machine is used primarily for sewing para
chute harness.
6. Feed. The very-heavy-duty sewing ma
chine uses needle feed to carry the material
through the machine. The needle bar (13, fig. 4)
is mounted in a rocking frame that moves back
ward while the needle is in the material and
pulls the material back. While the needle bar
rises and moves forward for the next stitch, the
presserfoot comes down and holds the material
in place.
c. Shuttle. For an explanation of the shuttle
operation refer to paragraph 8c.
d. Machine Stand. The very-heavy-duty sew
ing machine is supported by a column stand
(30, fig. 4), which holds the motor, starting
treadle, foot lifter treadle, tray table, belt
pulleys, and switchbox. The machine head is
bolted to the column through a 5-inch column
extension or collar (22), which may be removed
if it is necessary to lower the machine.
e. Electric Motor. The very-heavy-duty sew
ing machine is powered by a 110-volt, 60-cycle,
Vi -horsepower, alternating current, electric
motor. The motor, mounted on the rear of the
column base, is connected to the column balance
wheel by a flat leather belt. A heavy paper
washer between the column balance wheel and
the friction pulley serves as a friction clutch for
transmitting the power of the motor to the
machine.

10. Zigzag Sewing Machine
a. General. The zigzag sewing machine (fig.
5) is an overseaming, zigzag, rotary-hook, lock
stitch machine. This, sewing machine is de
signed to sew heavy grades of overseaming and
double zigzag work at medium speeds. In para
chute maintenance and repair, it is used pri
marily to anchor suspension lines in the
parachute canopy and to sew suspension line
ends at the harness links. For this purpose, the
throat plate, presserfoot, and feed dog must be
replaced by a special throat plate, a special
presserfoot, and a special feed dog, which pro
vide grooves to guide and hold the lines for
zigzag stitching.
b. Feed. The zigzag sewing machine uses
drop feed to pull the material through the ma
chine. The drop feed consists of feed dogs (2,
fig. 5) which move the material and a presser
foot (3) which holds the material against the
feed dogs during the feeding motion. As the
needle comes up and moves to the left or right
of the centerline of stitches to form the zigzag

stitch, the feed dog rises above the throat plate

to pull the material through the machine.
c. Sewing Hook. The zigzag sewing machine
has a rotary sewing hook that rotates in a plane
parallel to the centerline of the needle. With
each rotation of the arm shaft, the hook rotates
one full turn, catching the needle thread and
carrying the loop of needle thread around the
bobbin case.
d. Machine Stand. The machine head is sup
ported by a rigid stand with a heavy wooden
tabletop (1, fig. 5) and adjustable metal legs.
A rectangular hole, 18 by 7 inches, accommo
dates the bed of the machine, which rests on
two bed hinges fastened to the stand top behind
the machine bed and on wooden ledges around

information concerning the electric motor.
/. Zigzag Mechanism. The zigzag mechanism
is made up of three main parts: a cam gear, a
pitman arm, and a needle bar frame. The rota
tion of the cam slot on the cam gear changes
the position of the pitman arm. Because the pit
man arm is connected to the needle bar frame,
the pitman arm also changes its position and
the needle moves sideways to left and right of
the stitch centerline. As the needle rises from
the centerline stitch, the cam causes the pitman
arm to push the needle bar to the left of the cen
terline for the second stitch, back to the centerline for the third stitch, to the right of the
centerline for the fourth stitch, and back to the
centerline to complete the cycle. The stitches
per inch are measured along the outside edge.

25. Very-Heavy-Duty Sewing Machine With
Thread Waxing Facilities
a. General. The very-heavy-duty sewing ma
chine is equipped with thread waxing facilities
for both the needle thread and the bobbin
thread. Waxed thread may be used with many
materials, particularly leather, but because of
the weakening properties of hot wax, waxed
thread should not be used for sewing parachute
harness and similar equipment.
b. Needle Thread Waxing. A wax box is at
tached to the rear of the machine arm to wax
the needle thread as it passes from the thread
unwinder to the tension wheel. The outer par
tition of the wax box should be filled with water
to prevent the wax from burning. The inner
partition is filled with wax. An electric heating
element with rheostat plugged into the recess
on the balance wheel side of the box is used to
melt the wax. A wax stripper, shown in insert
on figure 20, carries the thread down into the
wax and up past the stripping lever (10) which
strips excess wax from the thread. Paragraph
24flr gives threading instructions for both waxed
and unwaxed needle threads.
c. Bobbin Thread Waxing. A wax box (10,
fig. 41) is included with the bobbin winder as
sembly to wax the bobbin thread as it passes
from the thread unwinder to the bobbin. The
outer compartment of the wax box should be
kept filled with water to prevent the wax from
burning. The inner compartment is filled with
wax. The wax is melted by the electric heating
device with rheostat that heats the water in
the outer compartment. In bobbin winding, the
wax stripper is removed from the wax pot and
the thread is passed down through the thread
hole (4), through holes in the bottom of the
thread arms (2) and (3), up through the strip
per regulating screw stud (5), over the roller
(8), and over to the bobbin. To keep the wax
soft during sewing, an electric heating ele
ment may be attached to the lower arm casting
just behind the throat plate on pie machine.

33. General
To insure that the sewing machine is ready
for operation at all times, it must be inspected
systematically, so that defects will be discov
ered and corrected before they result in serious
damage or failure. The necessary preventive
maintenance services to be performed are listed
and described in paragraph 34. The item num
bers indicate the sequence of minimum inspec
tion requirements. Defects discovered during
operation of the unit will be noted for future
correction, to be made as soon as operation has
ceased. Stop operation immediately if a de
ficiency is noticed during operation which would
damage the equipment if operation were con

tinued. All deficiencies and shortcomings will be
recorded together with the corrective action
taken on DA Form 2404 at the earliest possible
opportunity.
34. Daily Preventive Maintenance Services
This paragraph contains an illustrated tabu
lated listing of preventive maintenance services
which must be performed by the operator. The
item numbers are listed consecutively and indi
cate the sequence of minimum requirements.

Section II. DEMOLITION OF SEWING MACHINES TO PREVENT

ENEMY USE
39. Authority
(3) Bed assembly.
When capture or abandonment of sewing ma

chines to an enemy is imminent, the responsible
unit commander makes the decision either to
destroy them or to render them inoperative.
Based on this decision, orders are issued which
cover the desired extent of destruction. What
ever method of demolition is employed, it is
essential to destroy the same vital parts of all
sewing machines and all corresponding repair
parts.
(4) Stand and frame assembly.
40. Preferred Demolition Methods
b. Weapons Fire. Fire on the sewing machines

with rifle grenades, machinegun fire, rifle fire,
or the heaviest appropriate weapon available.
c. Burning. Pack rags, clothing, or canvas
under and around sewing machine. Saturate
this packing with gasoline, oil, or diesel fuel,
and ignite it.
d. Submersion. Submerge the sewing machine
in a body of water to provide water damage and
concealment. Salt water will do the greatest
damage to metal parts.
Explosive and mechanical means, either alone

or in combination, are the most effective demoli
tion methods to employ (FM 5-25). Priority
will be given to the obliteration or destruction
of all unit identification lettering or marking,
serial numbers, and manufacturer's nameplates.
e. Scattering and Concealment. Remove all

easily accessible vital parts such as the bobbin
winder and motor assembly, and scatter them
through dense foilage, bury them in dirt or
sand, or throw them in a lake, stream, or other
body of water.
a. Mechanical Means. Use sledge hammers,

crowbars, picks, axes, or any other heavy tool
which may be available to destroy the following:
/. Explosives. Detonate with TNT or other

explosives. All military explosives are effective
in destroying this equipment.
(1) Head assembly.

(2) Arm assembly.
100
g. Misuse. Demolition of the sewing machines

by misuse is not practical.
