As the Hand Machine is the simplest form of machine knitting,more easily understood and plainly presenting operations, performedby hand, that the Automatics perform by mechanism, it may be wellto take it up first, for it treats the fundamental principles simply andclearly. The results obtained on the several classes of CircularLatch Needle frames are practically the same, but the mechanical ar-rangements have grown more complex as devices have been perfectedfor performing automatically the various operations of shaping hosiery. 206 KNITTING 189 HAND MACHIMES The stitch in plain machine knitting is exactly the same as madein plain hand knitting, though more perfect and even. The numberof stitches required to be put on the needles, in setting up the work,depends upon the size of the yarn and the size of the sock or stockingdesired.

It is for this reason that needle cylinders are re-quired to contain a different number of slots, or places for needles, tosuit different sizes or grades of yarn, and is also the reason why theyare required to be made of different diameters to make the varioussizes of hosiery. The number of slots may be different in cylinders ofthe same size, according to the requirements of the work. 807 190 KNITTING
