Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines A young Allen B Wilson constructed his first practical sewing machine in 1850, using a rotary hook mechanism. It worked very simply and very quietly. Turning the hand crank caused the bobbin to rotate in circles and during each revolution a hook picked up the top thread from the needle and twisted it with the thread from the bobbin to produce a stitch.

During an exhibition in New York, Wilson was introduced to the older Nathaniel Wheeler, who was at the time manager of the firm Warren, Wheeler and Woodruff of Watertown, Connecticut. They formed a partnership under the name of The Wheeler, Wilson Company to manufacture Wilson’s sewing machines. In 1853 the name was changed to the Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing Company and a few years later it moved to a new factory in Bridgeport, Connecticut. (Photo courtesy of Lynn Kenan) To start with production was slow, however by the early years of the 1860’s it had increased from 20,000 to 30,000 and then 50,000 machines, peaking a decade later at over 128,000 per year.
The company produced several models targeting specialist industrial work. As the Wheeler and Wilson Company launched new models, they issued them with numbers rather than names, clearly visible on the pillar. When the company changed from manufacturing machines with curved needles to new straight needle models they re-numbered the models. However some of the numbers were repeated i.e. The old machine model known as No. 5 became the new No.2. Wheeler & Wilson D9 - Stitch Plate A London office was opened in 1859, at 13 Finsbury Place, followed a few years later by offices and showrooms in Regents Street.

Single thread post D9-H-3 In its advertising, W&W claimed many things for the Number 9 that might not pass modern scrutiny, including - optimistically - a 300% greater efficiency. Singer, at the time, was enjoying the success of its oscillating shuttle class 15 and wouldn't introduce their own rotary domestic, the class 115, until well into the 20th century. The first No. 9s used the glass presser foot, seen on W&W machines since 1861, which had become popular with sewers who wanted to stitch very close to an edge.
Short-base No. 9 with accessory compartment and folding thread post.
Despite this clear advantage, it was soon replaced with a pressed steel foot that attached from the rear; a design Singer imitated (and abandoned) on 66-1 to 66-3.
