66-14 side clamping with reverse
66-14 thru 66-24 reverse and side clamping
66 was made between 1902 and 1956
This is what I found out when I was doing all the research on side clamping versus back clamping 66's.

This is where I got this information.

My Egyptian Lotus 66-1 (back clamping) was made in 1908, according to the serial number listed on Singer's website. It also shows other runs of 66's in 1908, but I have no idea if they are 66-1's or not... probably so. So there's an error somewhere: Either the ISMACS site or Singer's records.
I have two Lotus 66-1 with back clamps; one 1907 and the other 1914. Taken from the Singer site.
