Singer Model 27 Vibrating Shuttle No. 2 (1899 Reissue)

This manual showed up along with my first ever treadle machine (new to me in 2008!). It's missing the first page and was folded in half for years, but is otherwise in good condition. Ironically, the machine is actually supposed to come with two manuals, so I've got no idea how to use most of the accessories.

I've included both the 100 dpi and 300 dpi versions of the scans below. If you just want to read the manual (rather than print it out) the smaller ones should work just fine. Currently the thumbnails link to the small version of each page.
