Need a link to Singer SM needle numbers
(NOTE: I posted, or tried to post this earlier, but it never appeared. So if it went somewhere else please forgive. )
As my wife is going through her many years accumulation of sewing stuff she's found a bunch of SM needles. Some are Singer and in packages. Some are just loose.
Is there a site with the Singer number and color codes translated into a common chart or language?
Any and all help is appreciated.

All they say is Singer or Simanco 90-14 or similar.
That doesn't tell me what "Style 2054-42" is supposed to fit. Is that style a 15x1 or isn't it? I've got all the needle charts on ISMACS on my hard drive and none of them deal with Singer numbers.
Somewhere I saw such a chart, but I can't find it now and that's the problem.

Joe, the 90-14 is probably the size of the needle. ... you know, for heavy or thin fabrics. A 60-8 is for light weight fabrics. 120-19 is for the heaviest fabrics. 90-14 is medium.... good for cotton quilting fabric. Look at the needle to see if there is a flat side to the shank. Standard needles now have the flat side. I'd use a modern needle to determine the length... I think 15x1 refers to the length of the needle.
You probably know all this but hope my basic knowledge has helped some.
