I clean up this antique Merrow with some poor man's kerosene and elbow grease. Perhaps you can see how some of the inside cams operate. Excellent engineering and execution of design is on display here as the old machine seems to work as good as the day it was first sold.
The "B" indicates and deep finish, this one is currently 1/8".
The "W" indicates a W stitch which draws down the needle thread, producing a tight seam while covering the raw edges in one operation.
As far as threading goes the documentation is limited and I show it according to the documentation. This machine however seems to have some variations. This machine is 94 years old and I think that it is important to remember that any number of things can happen to a machine during its near century of existence.
I buy all my equipment and these industrial sewing machines myself and so anything you do to help is appreciated.
