reattaching the bobbin casing and bobbin?

I brought out my old white 1477 sewing machine and bobbin thread was not connecting with the top thread. I pulled apart the casing around it and now I can't figure out how to get the whole contraption reconnected.

Hello Mindy,
If you have a side or front loading bobbin case, tilt the machine back slightly and rest it on something, make sure the needle is all the way to the top, put the half moon shape hook in, it can only go one way, close the circular gate and push the clips over.
