Carl Wurker from Dresden, Germany obtained the help of engineer Max Bretschneider and commissioned him to design the first card reading automatic sewing machine. The result is that the multi head embroidery machine has become smaller and more automated. Its prototype was only a single headed machine, but soon the three headed machine became the standard model. By 1940, the number of three headed "Walker" machines in use had reached 3000.
