<P><b><center><font color=chocolate><font size=5>DOWNLOAD / PDF USER INSTRUCTION</center></font></font><P>Authorized reproduction of the very early users / instruction manual for a Willcox and Gibbs Automatic sewing machine with <b>glass tensions</b>. It is a chain stitch sewing machine, which means that it sews with only one thread. A looper catches the top thread and the stitch is formed. It does NOT have a bobbin. It has basic information and a bit more. Many of its attachments are covered. This version of the sewing machine was operated either by a treadle or a hand crank. It is probably circa 1860 and just so you are aware, there aren't many illustrations in this manual.
