Champion 77: Some Patents

Fascinated by the old machines and while trying to date my 77 I came across these patents.


Although they may never match a production machine exactly patents are good for setting a timeline and more interestingly establishing the intenet of the design.



The needle and shuttle mechanism


After working with the machine for a while it is really just the head that is doing everything, the horn is mostly along for the ride.


This one shows the outline of the shoe insito.
