NEEDLES
Each Union Special needle has both a type and size number. The type number denotes the kind of
shank, point, length, groove, finish and other details. The size number, stamped on the needle shank,
denotes the largest diameter of the blade midway between the shank and the eye. Collectively, the type
number and size number represent the complete symbol which is given on the label of all needles
packed and sold by Union Special.
The standard needle for the 542OOi-12-16 is Type 113GS Size 125/049.
Needle orders will be promptly and accurately filled when a sample needle, an empty needle package or the
type and size number of the needle is forwarded. The type and size number is located on the needle package
label. A complete order would read as follows: “1000 needles, type 113GS, size 100/040”.
