So...did anyone have the forsight to download the PDF files for dating machines from Singer before they took them off the website?
I couldn't until I recently got a new computer (my old one just didn't have the space for them) but I didn't get it done before they were gone. :(
If you got them, may I beg a bit here? Would you consider emailing them to me?

I wish Singer would be more helpful for us that would like to not only date the machines, but identify them as to were they were made.

Science as to the beach ball staying up in the air about a couple of feet above a vacuum cleaner. Not a mystery, but Bernoulli's principle, sometimes demonstrated in high school science classes. I was always fascinated with the ball. Sometimes it would be tilted off from center of the vacuum cleaner and would still stay up, Coanda effect.
