In most cases, the cam-surface measurement will give a reading one-quarter inch larger thanthe old system, thus, a 4|-inch machine (modern method) would cor-respond to a 4-inch machine by the old measurement. Rib Knitting is done on a machine having two sets of needles,one forming the back of the fabric, the other forming the face. Whenthe two sets of needles form, and cast off completed loops at everyfeed on the machine, the fabric is called a plain rib, each needleshowing a distinct longitudinal wale or rib, both on the inside andon the outside of the fabric. The formation of the stitch in rib-knitted goods differs fromthat of flat goods in its principle, the effect being produced by revers-. Fig. 28. Measurement of Knitting Machines. ing the stitch. The needles are so arranged that every alternate rowin plain-rib work is reversed (Fig. 29), thus making both sides work requires two banks of needles; the function of the secondbank being to pull and loop the yarn in an opposite direction, therebyproducing a thicker and more elastic web. Useful modifications of plain-rib fabric are often obtained byvarying the movement over the cams; of one or both sets of needlesby leaving out certain needles in one or both sets; and by a combina-tion of these expedients, as shown in Fig. 30. 94 KNITTING 81
