Of course you need it.
Interesting. A Western Electric with a Hamilton Beach style motor. Did Hamilton Beach make those motors or was it another company? I've seen the same motor badged Singer too.

I think that's originally a treadle head, the bases drop into the cabinet, and have holes for the belt. The motors are a retrofit. I have a similar setup on my New Home. The neat thing, is the motors are easily reverseable, so can be used with direct drive, or belt drive.

Jim - That makes sense. I see the obvious belt slot now.
