second part of the history of an early ww handcrank


 
Edited

hi, Miller and all!? ?I update my history with other peximum pictures and a page of the book of Urquhart for I can better understand.? now:
I could unscrew two screws the first in left part, the second in center of the... drum? I could put aside the old nice belt, but thre needle, when it goes down, meets a stumbling block, metallic. I don't know its name so I post a page of Urquhart with the numbers of the parts
I think, simply, it would be necessary that the bobbin case? go to left a pair of millimeters, but I don't know if I must push, pull, turn or only oil... don't want do harm
I'm going to post my pictures, and the numbers of mister Urquhart...thank you all


 

Hi;
I am not sure if I am getting the new pictures or not. Are they in the same series as t your others, if not how are they listed?
IF in pictures #8 & #11 the little green arrows are supposed to b showing the direction of rotation, note they?are pointed the wrong way. The top of the hook & pulley as you sit facing the machine should turn away from you.?

Completely remove the two screws from the pulley & squirt a bit of penetrant in the bottoms of the holes. Be sure & not lose them as they will be hard to replace. Let sit a while & try twisting the hook while holding the pulley. You can also try tapping lightly a bit but be sure & not hit a delicate part. You are going to have to get that shaft to move inside the pulley before you can make corrections. Normally this is not a problem, but I highly suspect that somehow the machine was jammed while in operation & the momentum of the flywheel slipped the shaft while under screw tension. Possibly this raised a slight burr on the shaft, thus making it difficult to move.

Hi,Miller, thank you.? Now: you said I must rotate the bobbin case??clockwise?,if I could.? yes?
My green arrows was simply for showing which screws I had found.? they are two. the first, lower left in the first element, the second in center in the element called, I think, 'drum'? ? I saw that in the more later ww these screws in center are two.
in conclusion the screws to loosen or put away are 1+1 in the elder machine or 1+2 in the 'newer' one , am I right?? but it is the same
To-night I posted one photo only, so they are 18, now, all together. In the latest one,you can see a little hole (3,5mm,perhaps) into the center's screw seat,at bottom. I see something as a little hole, not well centered, into a sort of black leather gasket. A gasket for the screw. Am I right?
-i don't see burrs (I hope)
But the spindle with the hook doesn't move at all.
I put first, these days, singer oil, today Svitol, a sort of WD40? ?Svitol disappears immediately in the little center hole, as if there was something of espace
This the last updating about our friend ww handcrank. (Ah, it was a little hard to turn, when it arrived )? thank you another time,? arrivederci? ?Cristiana


 

good morning.? I forgot a question:? how to disassemble the glass foot.? that would be important for not having at least this thought ,? thank you.

I was wrong tonight, that I saw a black leather gasket. there is only the sign of the screw on the axis turned at force. It has, seems to me the shape of a little circular furrow in the metal
I can't see burrs, perhaps they are too little.? However it still doen't turn

Hi, Miller and all! urrah!? drunk of svitol, the spindle turns, now! I could see the sign in face. it is a sort of letter o carved out in the center nearly exactly under the screw.
the axis is not very dirty, but it couln't turn, after many years

now, tomorrow,now is night. I must put the needle.? is the famous 'cut' of the booklet? relative to the lower position of arm-needle?
and how can I substitute the glass foot?

for now, many many many thanks? ? Cristiana

but the history is not perfectly easy.? I turned the hook, re-mounted all, and the machine turned well with its old belt, and walked, a little crooked , not perfectly straight with her old style feed.? only,sometimes, the needle beated or slithered against the hook, the part behind. and the machine didn't sew
So, I remake all, I losed and refind the feeds screw, I remounted all. this time, the machine is very hard to turn, wirh the belt is impossible, with a key. the time seems right , the needle doesn't touch anything;and it it wan't sew.? Perhaps I tightened too much the screw of the drum?? ?i don't want do damage. it seems impossible that the belt is loosened in one fell swoop. I think to the screw. I'm going to post other three photos.
Arrivederci
