Figo 180 illustrates a very important improvement, which allows 287 270 KNITTING of a micrometer adjustment of the needle-bars. It is very importantthat the needles should always be in exact co-operating position withthe sinkers; and it will readily be understood by referring to theillustration, that the double bolt and jam-nut of this double-armedneedle-bar crank furnish accurate means for doing this. Figs. 181 and 182 show an improved bearing for the draw-camshaft, and an improved brake for arresting the movement of the draw-cam shaft as soon as the longitudinal movement of the main cam-.

In nearly all other machines this stopping of the draw-cam shaft is done by a key pushing in between the teeth of the bevelgear on the cam-shaft. This improved brake works with a steel band,leather lined, adjustably secured, and tightens as soon as shaft B islongitudinally moved (see 8, 14, 11, 12, and 13). The constructionof bearing 1 not only forms a substantial one-piece bearing for thedraw-cam, but at the same time bridges and braces transversely theentire machine, by being bolted to beam A in the rear and beam A* inthe front part of the machine. 288 KNITTING 271 LACe EFFECTS AND OPEN MESH WORK The high perfection of the Cotton type of fiat-bed Isnitting ma-chine, has enabled these mac
