Wrong Image
editThe image labeled "oscillating hook" is actually an image of the bobbin case for a Singer 66 or 99. WK 139.78.10.8 (talk) 23:50, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- Singers don't use a separate bobbin case, the hook also acts as the bobbin case. This is that part. The caption is correct, as being a "hook" is the primary role, over the secondary role of holding the bobbin. This is also the term Singer use for it, as shown by the scan itself.

Front to back linear motion
editDoes "transverse" operation refer to the linear nature of the shuttle movement, or must it also be side-to-side, like the Model 12, for it to be "transverse". I'm trying to figure out what the shuttle motion of the Howe machines (linear motion, front to back) would be called.
For completeness: The VS description should probably also be specific as to whether must be as the image shows, or whether the shuttle can swing in front of or behind the needle and also be called a vibrating shuttle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgf (talk • contribs) 01:11, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
