The regular standard of gauges adopted by the builders of this machine is as follows: 12 gauge needles for cylinders having four to six needles to the inch 18 six to eight 24 eight to twelve 36 twelve to fifteen 42 finer than fifteen Sizes of Yarns Used in Different 50 needle cylinder will make a 5 inch childs stocking. Use 64 212 KNITTING 195 needle cylinder for 6 inch stocking, 72 needle cylinder for 7 inch stock-ing and 80 needle cylinder for 8 inch stocking. Two-ply 18 or two-ply 20 cut woolen yarn makes a good hose forchildren. Two-ply No. 7 or three-ply No. 10 cotton yarn makes the samesize on cylinders as stated above. ^.,„:pSSf^#^. Fig. 117. Cams. In making double heels and toes use a single thread of No. 10 or12 cotton, or a single No. 18 or 20 worsted. The length of the leg of ladies or childrens hose should be aboutthree times the length of the foot. To Change Heads. After removing the head from the machineput in the desired head, with the yarn carrier at the back of the ma-chine directly opposite the yarn guide post, and with the crank hangingstraight down with the handle at the lowest point. This will bringthe handle in the easiest position for knitting the heel and toe with thebackward and forward motion. Setting=Up the Work. Turn the machine until the yarn carrieris directly in front of the machine. Have all the needles lying down allaround the machine. Expand the set-up (See Fig. 121) so that thehooks rest against the
