As the needles move forward the sinkers are all depressedin a body in front of the fabric by the bar infront of the sinkers, to keep the loops backon the needle-stems; the needles then moveentirely forward and the looping operationsare repeated. The general arrangement of a machine ofthe ordinary circular kind is given in Fig. needles are bearded and fixed around theper
