The first Singer built machines in black wrinkle were the model 99-24s, serial numbers AF289406 to AF292405 starting in 1939. He noted that the BY 15-7 motor and the 99-24s light were their first bakelite (plastic) motor and light housings. His Navy manuals showed that these machines were used on smaller ships, some with a foot pedal, some with a knee switch. (more info
