These are pages I want to copy also ... or get the book? However, since the book is from 1949, I imagine that would be hard to come by. I have such a mix mash of bobbins including some of the long bobbins that I would love to find a way to sort them properly. Thanks for posting the pages and hopefully someone with the knowledge will have dimensions listed at a later date or a site that has them already listed.

I'll scan the pages and send---just PM email address. I agree the pages would be much more useful with dimensions and verbal description.

Here is a pictorial catalog of bobbins. It doesn't have dimensions, but it might help:

This site uses a good method of measuring bobbins.

quiltmouse,

Thanks for that link. I bookmarked it for reference.

However there are at least three errors that I noticed. They say the 401, 500, and 328 machines use the Apollo bobbin case with the plastic bobbins. This "might" be true in the UK, but American ones do not have plastic bobbin cases.

Might be some more errors in there too, but I haven't seen any more at this time.

Looks like an industrial rotary to me.

It also says the 237 uses a plastic bobbin. My machine came with a metal class 15 bobbin.

OK, I have several different ones that look like that. Bernina original type are one of them, and another, which I still haven't identified. Hmm.. being narrower suggests less thread and therefore a domestic, although not definitely. My 29K71 has a tiny bobbin, comparable to the Singer IF in thread volume.

This is one of the problems with reading things on the net ..

that site doesn't mention a word about bobbins cases, only bobbins.

common sense tells you there was no such thing as a plastic bobbin in 1957.

That bobbin picture is a match to all my old school pfaff bobbins in dimensions and style. pfaff is the only I know of that where machined , opposed to being stamped out. new style pfaff's are stamped, new being like the 60's
