A short dictionary entry from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary describing a hand-operated sewing machine whose pivoted jaws work like scissors. It explains that the machine makes a two-thread lock-stitch, with a looping hook moving back and forth around a disk bobbin and an eye-pointed needle on the opposite jaw. A line drawing (Fig. 2386) illustrates the device.
