Silver SK321

This machine was developed by the then Kashiwazaki Silver Seiko Ltd (now Silver Reed) in Niigata Japan. In 1972 it was exhibited at The Science Museum in the United Kingdom where it was awarded the Blue Ribbon Prize. This machine was the first of the "Memomatic" series of models SK321 to SK329. They are all 200 needle metal bed machines with 24 stitch punchcard patterning varying only by the type of motifs they could create and the inclusions. The SK321 was the first and most basic model.
