New Home Treadle Take-up, In Action
As requested by a reader, here are some stills showing the action of the "hook of take-up" on the New Home treadle.
When the needle bar and needle are at the highest point, the hook of take-up is back.
As the needle and needle bar descend, the hook of take-up swings forward . . .
. . . And by the time the needle has reached it's lowest point, it has swung back again, leaving quite a bit of slack on the spool thread.
As the needle bar rises, the hook of take-up swings forward again, taking up the slack on the thread.
And by the time the needle has reached it's highest point, the hook of take-up has returned to the back again.

I have duplicates of most if not all the attachments. I would me happy to share my duplicates with you. Maybe we could figure out how they work!!
ReplyDeleteThe other style you see is a groove at the top for the thread. It works the same way. I am trying to sort out whether or not my badged treadle head was a New Home, as it looks similar to this. I love my treadles, but it's a lot easier to research Singers!
