The Shell Stitch Crochet Machine Feeds are adjusted by loosening the Feed Adjusting Nut (11-4NUT), and sliding the Bolt in the slot on the Feed Lever 2116A. Higher on the Feed Lever shortens the Feed stroke, and lower on the Feed Lever lengthens the feed stroke. Again a Feed Eccentric can be changed to facilitate even more or even less throw. These Eccentrics are as follows: 21190, 4/64" throw; 21248, 10/64" throw; 21586, 9/32" throw; 2189, 20/64" throw. All are attached to the Lower Shaft with a 161-4 Set Screw. If the number of stitches per shell is not the desired amount, you can change the Feed Gear and Feed Raising Cams to achieve the stitch quantity desired. See the chart below for available combinations.
