The Pattern Wheel System. The main shaft A^ has secured to itat one end (See Figs. 133 and 138) the pinion D by means of whichmotion is transmitted through the connecting pawl operating mechan= 239 222 KNITTING ism. This mechanism consists of the gear D^; the adjustably mount-ed crank pin D, which is attached to the link D^; the pawl carrier D^,which is pivoted on the stud a* and on which is mounted a springactuated pawl to engage the teeth of the ratchet wheel D^. Thisratchet wheel is the prime mover of the pattern wheel system peculiarto this ^^^I^fc-^ Fig. 138. Gears and Ratchets. The crank pin D^ may be adjusted to control the stroke of thepawl, so that it will move the ratchet wheel the distance of one or anydesired number of teeth; the greater the movement of the ratchet wheelthe shorter the stocking, and vice versa. The pawl has in its side, apin a^ which, when the knitting is to be changed from circular to heeland toe knitting, during which time the pattern wheels d^^ and a^° inFigs. 142 and 138 are left at rest, is struck by one end of a lever D^,connected with a link D^, Fig. 138, with an elbow lever D^ pivoted atD^^ (See Fig. 139) to a lug 4, projecting from the clutch lever D*^(also shown in Fig. 138) which latter is moved when the change fromcircular to reciprocal knitting and vice versa is to be made by the pat-tern wheel.
