A one-page dictionary entry on the tailoring machine, a large sewing machine built for heavy goods. It describes the Wheeler and Wilson straight-needle ("House") machine: the rotary hook, independent take-up, under-thread tension finger and presser foot, and how the stitch is formed and drawn up. Engraved figures show the machine, the hook and feed, and the hook and bobbin.
