The Singer Model 27 and later model 127 were a series of lockstitch sewing machines produced by the Singer Manufacturing Company from the 1880s to the 1960s. (The 27 and the 127 were full-size versions of the Singer 28 and later model 128 which were three-quarter size). They were Singer's first sewing machines to make use of "vibrating shuttle" technology. Millions were produced.〔Singer's serial number archives (see External Links section) are incomplete yet list dozens of 50,000+ unit allocations of serial numbers〕 They are all steel and were built before the advent of planned obsolescence, and so they were designed to be repaired rather than replaced.〔The official "Adjuster's Manual" is written in plain English and is sufficiently illustrated for use by laymen. The manual is still sold today, and also offered online as a free download; see links section for URL.〕 Consequently many remain today, some in collections and others still in service. In company literature they were called "the woman's faithful friend the world over".〔http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Singer.1892TradeCards.Tunis.back.jpg〕 ==Identifying characteristics== The many Vintage Singer sewing machine models look very similar. All machines in the 27 series (VS-1, VS-2, VS-3, 27, 28, 127, and 128) have the following distinguishing characteristics that can be used to differentiate them from other Singer machines: * Split slide plates running the entire depth of bed * Flat face plate, most are ornamented with grapevines but very early examples have a plain shiny finish. Within the 27 series are seen the following differences between versions:〔http://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/28/〕 *A few older machines have moved their bobbin winders to the high position, but they will still have a mounting lug for it in the original lower position. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Singer Model 27 and 127」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
