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 . 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 needles fromthe stocking, so that it may be removed. He then moves thecrank backward slightly, which, through the engagement of the 108 106 heels of the needles with the inner face of the block 85 last in opera-tion, forces the block out of operative position and permits the cam S3to raise the needles so that their upper ends will be on a level, in po-sition to receive another cuff. In other words, the needles are leveledin the upper knitting-path. After the stocking has been, removedfrom the machine, the edges i and k are united in the usual manner. 270 KNITTING 253 FANCY HOSIERY When it is desirable to reinforce stockings, particularly childrensstockings, at several points—such as the heel, the toe arid the knee—asecond or thickening thread is introduced with the main thread, thetwo being fed to the needles as one. If the same length of stitch bemaintained in the thickened part as in the other part, the fabric is madecloser, harder and less elastic. It is theref
