Łucznik KL 82/83 sewing machine

The device was designed as a straight-seam machine for sewing light- and medium-weight fabrics such as canvas, silk, wool, and cotton. It stitched forwards and in reverse depending on the position of the seam control lever. The direction of stitching could be changed while sewing. The arm was cast in cast-iron and weighed around 14 kg. A small inspection hole was placed at the back of the machine arm. The needle arm mechanism was covered with a shield. The KL 82/83 model presented here resembles the design of Singer #15 and Pfaff 30 machines. The devices were manufactured in two colours: black with gilded patterns or, as seen in the unit presented here, in a hammered grey coating. The machine has a motor socket, which suggests that it could be adapted to use electrical drive. Manufacturer: Zakłady Metalowe im. gen. Waltera in Radom, 1958 Inv.
