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 . Fig. 154. when lowered, engages the tops of the long heels and one short heel;and when the block is lowered at the end of the heel-and-toe work,it sweeps over the long heels and the single short heel, and lowers theneedles to position for circular work. A pin 98 projects from the cam90, and is engaged by the outer end of a spring 99, the other end ofwhich is secured to the flange of the cam-web 82. The spring acts todepress the block and cams when permitted by the descent of plate The cup-shaped bearing 4 supports the cam-ring 70,which meshes with the teeth of the bevel-gear 8. This cam-ring isrevolved continuously to produce circular or round-and-round work, 261 244 KNITTING. Fig. 155. or is given a rotary reciprocating motion to produce heel-and-toe doing the latter, practically one-half of the needles are firstthrown out of action; and a portion of the remaining needles are then thrown out of action one by one to nar-row, being restored in the reverse orderto widen. The Picker. Mounted on the camring, and rotating therewith, is an archedstandard 100, provided with an offset 101,in which is a vertical bore or recess 102closed at the top (Fig. 158). A plunger 103is fitted to slide and oscillate on its axiswithin the recess, and is pressed down-ward by a spring 104, confined be-tween the plunger and the top of therecess. To the lower end of this plunger, the picking-finger 105is pivoted, the plunger affording a support for the picking-finger andyielding vertically against the pressure of the spring 104; and the outer,short end or heel 106 of the finger is held between two springs 107secured to the standard or offset (see Fig. 160).
