Default FOUND my Phoenix 27, but have some questions

Discovered this machine which was on my "bucket list" of machines and it came home with us, but having never had a treadle I have some questions. When winding the bobbin should it sorta snap into the winding position without me having to hold it??? Do any of you treadle on a carpeted floor? Ddoes it hinder the motion?? What size needles does the Singer 27 take. I have downloaded a manual, but doesn't mention the needle size...only says to use Singer needles... I have a 66 and the needles look the same length, except the one in the 27 has a long groove in it?? Also came with some goodies...the puzzle box and some other curved needles...what were they used for...rugs?? Also a bungie cord looking thing that I have no idea if it is a sewing thing. This machine was in excellent but dry condition, and I'm loving it.. Thanks for all your input.
