Cyclopedia of textile work : a general reference library on cotton, woolen and worsted yarn manufacture, weaving, designing, chemistry and dyeing, finishing, knitting, and allied subjects . atter is surrounded by theneedle-cylinder, and the cylinder can be rotated upon its seat ifnotlocked. A yielding lock for securing the needle-cylinder to the upperend of the web-guide is shown in Fig. 154, consisting of a spring-bar195, secured to the inner wall of the web-guide and having a wedge-shaped lug 196 at its upper end, wLjh lugextends through an opening in the web-guide and into a tapered recess in the innerwall of the needle-cylinder. The upperend of the bar rests in a vertical groovein the inner wall of the web-guide, andthe bar and its lug form a lock to preventrotation of the needle-cylinder on theweb-guide. Should a needle offer an ob-struction to the passage of a cam, or if forthat or any other reason such an obstruc-tion is caused as might break a cam orbreak away the ribs of the cylinder be-tween the needles, the inclined side of the recess will act on the side of the lug and force it inward, thus un-locking the cylinder from its support and permitting it to 269 252 KNITTING I09 109 By loosening one screw and turning in the other, the bar is rocked onits lug as a fulcrum, and thus forces the other lug more or less into therecess of the needle-cylinder. The Process. The cuff a is placed on the needles by means of atransferrer, and circular knitting at /r(Fig. 168) pro-ceeds to the point c. Then narrowing begins, andcontinues to the point d; and from there the knit-ting widens to the point e, when circular knitting isresumed to form the foot portion /. At g, narrowingagain begins, and continues to the point h, whenceit again widens to the point i, when, after knitting a few cours-es, the machine automatically stops. The operator then breaksoff the yarn, and, by means of the crank 11, turns cam-ring70 one revolution forward, which disengages the
