The "JA" prefix series was registered and stamped sequentially between 1924 and 1936. It is incredibly common to see a Canadian-built machine head paired with a British-built B.U.K. 7-E motor. Singer frequently shipped un-motorized cast-iron machine heads directly from their Canadian facility over to Great Britain, where local facilities completed the assemblies with localized UK electronics.
