 The oldest sewing machine on display is a Willcox and Gibbs Machine

People who visit the museum are always fascinated by our fabulous collection of sewing machines. The oldest sewing machine on display is a Willcox and Gibbs Machine mounted on a base with a cast iron treadle mechanism. The machine also has a wooden cover. When the cover is in place, it resembles a wooden casket, and for that reason machines with the wooden covers were often referred to as 'Coffin Tops'.
The metal sewing plate of the Willcox and Gibbs machine contains a plethora of information regarding patent dates. J.E.A Gibbs first patented June 2, 57. This would be 1857. Perhaps they felt the machine would not be still around 100 years later and did not need to include the century on the date. The sewing machine runs with a single thread to produce a chain stitch. The simple chain or tambour stitch machine was invented by James Gibbs of Virginia, in 1857. The design was improved upon by J. Willcox and this machine was manufactured using the combined patents. To the right of the plate is 'Under Royal Letters Patent James Willcox July 4-71', which would be the patent date for this machine. The serial number indicates that our machine was made soon after 1876, but more accurate information is not available.
The plate also contains a table of information for all your sewing needs. The table showed which thread type to use for different silks, the needle size and the stitch length. There is a lever under the plate that could be changed and the dial shows through a hole on the plate to display the number of stitches per inch.
The cast iron foot tread has two feet shapes joined by a central design resembling a butterfly.

 Stay organized with Google - Project Center Kumbakonam I'm a fan of pen and paper to keep track of all my to-dos, but Google Tasks  helps keep everything a bit neater (and saves trees). If you have a Gmail account, Google Tasks is honestly a to-do list maker's dream. You can make as many lists as you want and add subtasks to any items. In addition, you can add details like dates or times. It's easy to switch between lists and check off anything you've done. https://arudhrainnovations.com/project-center-in-kumbakonam/ Google Calendar can sync to your iPhone or Android phone, which is extra helpful if you need to plan a busy day. It's also a great planner to set up your class schedule and then put reminders for 15 or 30 minutes ahead of time to get notifications on your phone. If you use Gmail, you can open the widget to see all your upcoming events from a web browser on your laptop. You can assign deadlines different colors to correspond with ...

 Thrifty textbook shopping -  Project Center in Kumbakonam Buying textbooks hits your bank account hard at the beginning of the year. Don't even think about how little you'll get when you return them. Fortunately, your schedule usually tells you what books you'll need. (Pro tip: If you wait to purchase your books, you might luck out on the first day and your professor will say you don't need to buy it.) If you do have to buy textbooks, exhaust all options before shelling out campus bookstore prices. Check out the book section on Chegg. You can rent or buy physical copies or e-books of the book you need for a fraction of the cost you'd pay on campus. Just make sure it's the right edition of the book. You can also sell old textbooks on Chegg and it has free shipping. Depending on what you're looking for, you might have luck on eBay if you search for "college textbooks." Amazon also offers textbooks for sale or rent -- it's a bit mor...
