An 8-page encyclopedia article on late-19th-century sewing machines from Appletons' Cyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics. It describes domestic lock-stitch machines (Wheeler & Wilson, Domestic, Willcox & Gibbs), combined lock and chain-stitch machines, and Singer chain-stitch machines. It then covers industrial and heavy-work machines: two-needle, cylinder, over-seaming, carpet-sewing, straw-hat and canvas/belting machines. Seventeen figures show machines, bobbins, face plates and ornamental stitch patterns.
