Adjusting the Tension. Thetension nut A (Fig. 98) on the take-up stand, governs the wire take-up,B. To increase the tension turn the nut from you. To decrease itturn the nut toward you. In knitting stockings medium size, adjustthe nut so that take-up wire stands about perpendicular. On doublewebs full width, diminish the tension so that the end of take-up wireis about two inches above the eye in the stand.

On doublewebs full width, diminish the tension so that the end of take-up wireis about two inches above the eye in the stand. The fewer needlesin use, the more tension required, and coarse yarn requires more ten-sion than fine yarn. The yarn carrier traverses the full width of machine, but knittingis done at various widths. This occasions slack yarn, at either end,between the fabric and yarn guide. It requires only such a tension,in connection with take-up, as will draw in this slack and make thefabric perfect at the corners. The less tension used the easier themachine will operate. To Tighten or Loosen the Stitch. The wing cams draw the need-les down as the loops are formed and determine the distance to. Fig. 101. Common Locks. 190 KNITTING 175 be traversed by the needles. The farther the needle is drawn down,the longer it makes the loop and the looser will be the fabric. Thehands G are attached to the wing cams. Wlien the hand points to1 at the top of the dial, the loops are shortest and the fabric the pointer is on the largest numeral, the loops will be longestand the fabric loosest. ^^ TO SET UP THE WORK FOR A MITTEN. Put up twenty-four needles (on each side), and draw down everythird needle, commencing with the second from the end, then fastenthe upright rod into the base of the spool-stand, so that each hole inthe top plate comes directly above the wire post in the base. Place aspool of yarn on one of these posts, and draw the end of the yarnthrough the hole in the top plate direct
