This number is the style of the electric motor. The machine serial number is probably on the big flat machine base just below the electric motor
The difference between an electric sewing machine and a manual sewing machine is only the method of propulsion. The electric machine uses an electric motor, while the manual machine uses a hand crank or foot pump to power it. The actual sewing machine is the same.
An electric sewing machine does it's work by using electricity to move the needle up and down, and rotate the bobbin. The mechanical parts of a manual sewing machine, had to be set in motion by turning a handle, or pedal. An electric sewing machine has an electric motor attached to these rotating parts, by belt or gearing and operated by a foot switch. This makes it less tiring on the arms or feet, you can keep sewing faster and longer.
