John Lowrey <john_p_lowrey@...> added the photo album John's W&W #5 free-arm on original treadle : This machine was based on the earlier design of the curved-needle W&W #1 & #2 machine. One can see from the top view pictures with the covers removed, the free-arm was made possible by extending the front and back shafts of the earlier #1/#3 design. This machine bears a serial number dating to approximately 1865 (per Grace Rogers Cooper).
