Errors

While doing my own research on the VS and 27 machines, I came across this Wikipedia article on the 27 and 127 and noted a few errors. From an article at ISMAC http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/singers_missing_link_the_high_arm_vibrating_shuttle.html it appears that the VS1 does not use the Whitehill patent for the drive train. The VS1 uses a shuttle that moves in a long-radius arc, and it is moved by a crank and gear-driven vertical shaft as in the Singer New Family/Model 12. This photo, http://needlebar.org/nbwiki/index.php/File:Vs1-6386796d.jpg from the Needlebar at http://needlebar.org/nbwiki/index.php/VS_1 shows the underside of a VS1. The VS2 is mechanically the same as a 27 and uses the Whitehill drivetrain, and a shuttle that moves on a short radius arc. From all the photos, the VS1 and VS2 both have fiddle beds, and the identification chart, which is copied from http://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/28/ is wrong.

Finish and decals photo section

I am very impressed by the thoroughness of this article, but am concerned about some of the photos chosen for illustration of the decals section. They are obviously modern photos similar to those taken by collectors or sellers, yet have a stated date of 1 January 1885. The attributions are to Singer Manufacturing Company with public domain status. Specifically- File:Singer.Model128.LaVincendora.decal.jpg File:Singer.Model27.OttomanCarnation.decal.jpg File:Singer.Model28.Rococo.decal.jpg File:Singer.Model27.PaintedRoses.decal.jpg File:Singer.Model27.Sphinx.decal.jpg File:Singer.Model27.Tiffany.decal.jpg File:Singer.Model27.Victorian.decal.jpg

Are there photos available that have a more accurate attribution?

These are photos *of old artwork*. The photos themselves do not meaningfully contribute to the artwork portrayed; therefore, the original copyright flows through the photo... and the original copyrights are long since expired.

"VS3" vs. "28-1"

Can someone cite a reason that the VS3 is referenced here as "28-1"? Singer certainly didn't call it that when it was introduced. Pgf (talk) 19:36, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
