And, what does the R stand for?
Thank you.
Does anyone know what the abbreviations stand for?
K stands for the place of manufacture--Kilbowie, Scotland. C. S. might stand for cylindrical (or central?) shuttle, but not sure about that.
Cloth--probably cloth as opposed to leather (shoe or harness) sewing. R--probably R series.
