Speed
The maximum speed recommended for these machines Is ISOO revolu­
tions per minute, when permitted by the nature of the material being
sewn. The machines should be run slower than the maximum speed until
the parts which are In movable contact have become glazed by their
action on each other. When the machines are In operation, the balance
wheel should turn over toward the operator.
Need Ies
Needles for Machines of Class 145w are of Class and Variety 7x23
for cloth, and 7x21 for stitching cardboard and fibre door panels.
They are made In sizes 22, 23, 24, 25 and 27.
The size of the needle to be used should be determined by the
size of the thread which must pass freely through the eye of the needle.
If rough or uneven thread Is used, or If It passes with difficulty
through the eye of the needle, the successful use of the machine will
be Interfered with.
Orders for needles must specify the quantity required, the size
number, also the class and variety numbers separated by the letter x.
The following Is an example of an Intelligible order:
"100 No. 24, 7x23 Needles."
The best results will be obtained when using the needles furnished
by the Singer Sewing Machine Company.
