Fig. 178 shows a diagrammatic sectional view of a Footer; andwhile it shows plainly the well-designed, mechanical construction 385 268 KNITTING and the strong proportions of the machine, some of the new detailsof improved construction are shown in the other illustrations. Fig. 179 illustrates a very convenient improvement for raisingthe narrowing mechanism; also an improved mechanism for pro-ducing the diamond point at the toe of the foot of a full-fashionedstocking. The raising and lowering of the whole narrowing mechanismis conveniently effected, and the narrowing machine is rigidly held inthe raised position by employing a lever 34, fixed to the shaft 12, andpivotally connected to a rod 23, which in turn is pivotally attachedat its upper end to the shaft 24 of the narrowing mechanism, in con-.

This is very convenient for straightening the needles or puttingnew ones in the machine in place of broken ones. In order to pro-duce the diamond-points, the guard-blades 10 are employed, whichare swung toward the fashioning points 2, and press against some ofthese points, preventing the
