Ok you guys while doing some research trying to find some informatin out about Darren's new Compac I found a really interesting site about machine history.
I didn't save the site, but it is by Harry Bezack, a machine collector. He has over 500 machines - some of the rarest in the world. Anyway, he was talking about his collection and some of the odd machines and has one that was made by Singer in the 1940's, from WW2. This machine was a portable "surgical sewing machine used in the field to stitch wounds."
Billy have you heard of this machine?
So interesting!
