Description: Here is a Willcox & Gibbs lockstitch sewing machine. It was first introduced in 1899 as a power-driven high-speed machine for the garment industry with a compatible table and motor designed for ease of use, power saving, and reliability. The rotary feed and tension units took the stress off the thread by turning in rotation rather than tugging on the spool, reducing breakage, and parts wear. This sewing machine was likely produced around the late 1930s-1940s when the Automatic Lubrication feature was introduced. This feature utilizes a network of tubes designed to distribute oil to key lubrication points. The machine is sold as is and includes a table and a GE motor that needs repair. A replacement motor can be inexpensively acquired or efforts can be made to overhaul this motor.All information Printed on Sewing Machine: Automatic Lubrication Cox & Gibbs S.M. Co. REO.
