Their harp space (the space under the arm) is similar to that in modern multi-stitch machines with a much larger bed length of 16″ or more, which is sufficient for most domestic use. Jones called their full size machines Medium CS, 3/4 ones Family CS, CS-E (with an electrical motor), Popular (with a Saxonia-style hand-crank), D53 (with a square boxy body).įull size vibrating shuttle machines of either design are fairly rare. Singer called their full size machines VS2, 3/4 ones VS3. But it’s best to always check to be sure, because the machines made in the USA had very different dimensions, for example. ![]() In Europe, those two sizes were quite well standardised for all three VS designs, so machines of different makes would usually fit into the same cases and treadles. Singer vibrating shuttle machines come in two sizes: full size with the bed length of 14″, and 3/4 size with a 12″ bed (measurements are approximate). ![]() In Germany, various makers mostly followed the Singer design, but there were a few notable exceptions. In England, Jones used the White patent and called their White-based machines “CS”, or cylinder shuttle, no doubt in order to differentiate from Singer’s VS. ![]() They are all called “VS” which is very confusing. There are three major types: one introduced by Singer, another by New Home and the third one by White. Vibrating shuttle mechanism is the one with the bullet-shaped shuttle moving in an arc.
