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 . o turn with the shaft by afeather, B, but loose to move endways, the hub being grooved on theoutside to receive a two part ring C which is connected by means ofstuds to the forked clutch arm B^ which is pivoted at B^ and connect- 238 KNITTING 221 ed by the link B*^ with the pin 2 located at the inner end of the clutchlever D^^ (Figs. 139 and 140). The clutch lever is pivoted at D. The hub B^^ (See Fig. 137) has at its sides, spring-actuated pins aand b projecting through the washers on the sides of the hub. A shortdistance from the hub is a loose gear C^ mounted on a flanged bushingand collar arrangement secured to the shaft by a set screw and pro-vided with a hole in the clutch face to receive the pin. At the oppositeside of the hub and loose upon the shaft, is the pinion C* which issecured to the sleeve of the loose pulley A^. When the machine is inmotion this pinion engages and drives the large gear C^. In the faceof the pinion is a hole to receive the pin b in the clutch hub. ^8 m. Fig. 137. Method of Driving. The gear O has a crank pin (See Figs. 138 and 139) providedwith a link C^° which, at its opposite end, is attached to a stud on thesegment gear C^^ pivoted at O^, the segment engaging the loose gearO and oscillating it continuously. When the pin b of the clutch hubB^^ engages the gear C^ the main shaft will be rotated for circularknitting, and the segment will move the loose gear O back and forthon the bushing, but when the hub is shifted, so that the pin a of theclutch engages the gear O, the latter becomes fastened to the mainshaft, and the segment actuating it will oscillate the shaft for reciprocalknitting for heel and toe work. 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 tr
