.CLASS 60 INSTRUCTION BOOK
Power Transmitter
In operating our machines it is necessary or desirable to use some kind
of power transmitter or underdriver for conveniently starting and stopping
the machine by the foot of the operator, the power for driving the machine
being sui>plied usually from a driving shaft near the floor, under the table.
We are prepared to furni.'^h ball bearing power transmitters for round belt
from driving shaft and for the usual round belt to the machine, including split
pulley for driving shaft.
All our split pulleys are bored to fit !•£%" shafting which is the standard
size in general use and which we recommend, but if the driving shaftis slightly
larger we can rebore the pulley to fit or if smaller it can be properly bushed.
Any power transmitter suitable for driving sewing machines will answer
for our machine.
When a power transmitter is ordered, we should be advised of the size
of the driving shaft and the speed at which it runs, in order that we may
supply a split pulley of the right bore to fit and of suitable size to run our
machines at the proper speed.
See "How to order supplies" on page Jf.

THE MERROW MACHINE COMPAN.Y
The ball bearing transmitters permit of setting the machine at or very
near the front edge of the table and are desirable for continuous running at
very high speeds.
The front end of the forward leg of the ball bearing power transmitter
should be set under the table about one and one-half inches back from the
front edge of the base of the machine set on top of the table.
A convenient guide for boring the belt holes at the proper angles may be
made from a short piece of board four inches wide and seven-eighths of an
inch thick with either end sawed to the proper angle, which can be taken from
a .sketch made to scale in the manner indicated on page 3.
