Cyclopedia of textile work : a general reference library on cotton, woolen and worsted yarn manufacture, weaving, designing, chemistry and dyeing, finishing, knitting, and allied subjects . e made to contain different numbers of slotsfor needles to suit different sizes and kinds of yarn, and to make differ-ent sizes of hosieiy, as in the instance cited where fine yarn knit on acylinder containing 60 needles will make small hose; but knit on an 84or 100 needle cylinder, will make full sizes. Fig. lis represents needle cylinders, without needles, for each ofthe four different size heads used in this machine. The number ofslots and needles a cylinder contains represents the number of stitchesthat will be made each round, while knitting with that cylinderin the l?IO KNITTING 196 machine. The number of slots in a cylinder does not necessarily in-crease or diminish the size of that cylinder, but only places the needlesnearer together or farther apart, as fine or coarse work is are commonly cut for any number of needles desired up to176 slots, and sometimes finer, with inserted sheet steel walls. Cylinders are changed by removing the yarn carrier D, and either. Fig. 115. Branson Hand Machine. lifting up enough needles to allow the cams to pass under and be freeof needles, or removing them and lifting the cylinders out of the camcylinders. In putting another cylinder in place, put the slot, in theunder edge of the cylinder, on the stud in the back of the bed plate,and then secure the yarn carrier in its proper place. A combination is effected in these machines in such manner that 811 194 KNITTING the bed (Fig. 119) or running gear of the machine accommodates thedifferent size heads and their cylinders, the gear rim of the head beingalways the same size, the difference being in the size of the cup of thehead for holding the needle cylinders. This is shown very clearly inFig. 120.
