Question by Ms. Nancy: What do you call the moving “wind mill-like” part of a binding machine for grains?

Best answer:

Answer by Veritas
It’s called a “reel”, it pulls the grain toward the machine so the cutter-bar (sickle) can cut the stalks off.
Circa 1890s technology.

Question by fenredwing: How does the Binding foot work for the Singer 99?
I have recently been given a Singer 99K sewing machine along with a selection of feet. I have worked out that one is the binder foot, nd after playing about with it, can still not make it work. I was wondering if someone could either describe to me or point me to a site that will tell me how to ‘thread’ the fabric through the foot so that it will work.

I think, in fact, that i have two binder feet. One is small with just the part that looks like an icing piping nozzle. The other has this bit and also a longer piece which has metal prongs that point vertically upwards. Can anyone tell me what this is ? What is the difference between the two?

Question by mike m: Binding edges of carpeting.?
Does anyone have experience with a carpet edge binder? Are they difficult to use? I’m considering purchasing one but am having trouble getting much information on using one. Is there a particular brand that’s best? If this is your business, are you satisfied with the machine you selected? Any help would be appreciated.

Question by Susan: Is this a binding contract?
Susan
Level 1
contract law?
I signed a contract with a datings service. Less than three days later, they said they lost the signature page and asked me to resign. I didn’t resend them anything and no service has been provided to date. However, they did hound me to send them the signature page again. Because they were so unprofessional, I decided I didn’t want to proceed and told them not to expect anything from me. 3 weeks later, the manager of the service called me and said she found the signature page and that I was obligated to use their service. BTW, when I signed the original contract she said she would send me my copy because the copy machine was broke…I know…dumb on my part. Since I have in writing that they said they didn’t have a contract….am I still bound by this contract? I did subsequently send them a certified letter after she said she “found the signature page” and said I was exercising my 72 hr. window for cancellation.

a dating service?? no binding contract unless you signed a conract, if they lost the signaure page..ooppps sounds like they are trying to lure you in again. demand that she send you a copy of the signature page. if you have never recieved the signature copy then its not binding. she sounds like a shady lady
