To the feet of the standard 100 issecured a curved plate 115 (see Figs. 153,157, 158, and 159) having anopening through which the picker extends. When narrowing is to becommenced at the heel or toe, and after the cam 90 has raised all ofthe long-heel needles out of action, the block 113 is raised, and thelower cam 112 throws the picking-finger 105, into the position shownin Fig. 157. At the same time, the motion of the cam-ring is changedfrom a continuous rotary to a rotary reciprocating movement, duringwhich movement neither cam 90 nor cam 97 performs any one side of the upper lug 108 of the picker comes in contact withthe side of the butt of the first needle of the remaining series of needles,the end of the picker is stopped; but since the cam-ring continues to 107—. 108 Fig. 157. move, and with it the standard and cam-plate, one of the lower cams117 of the plate rides under the finger and elevates it, thus causing theupper surface of one of the lugs 109 of the picker to throw that needleup out of action. As the finger finally rides into the slot 118 of theplate 115, the swinging of the finger causes the lugs of the finger toleave the butt of that needle. As soon as the finger leaves the needle,the springs 104 and 107 cause it to assume the position indicated inFig. 157, ready to engage and elevate a needle at the other end of theseries. When the needles are to be brought back again into action one byone for widening, the block 113 is lowered, and the upper cam reversesthe position of the elbow-levCr 111, moving the picker to the positionshown in Figs. 151 and 152. Then the lower lug 108 of the picker,and the under surfaces of the lugs 109, ac
