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 . y lowering the needles from inoperative tooperative position. These (lifting) pickers are provided, at their ends, with recesses ornotches for receiving the needle butts, the notches being so formedthat there is a lip or finger underlying the needle butt when it is inengagement with the notched end of the picker. The pickers aremounted upon the cam cylinder so that they move in an inclined ordiagonal direction, and when a needle butt engages the notch of thepicker, that picker is moved backward and upward, with relation tothe cam cylinder, and the lip of the picker engages the underside of theneedle butt, carrying the needle upward out of the active series, theneedle butt being transformed froin the notch of the picker to an in-clined guide or cam which completes its movement, from the active orworking series, to the idle series. The devices for transferring the needles, individually, from the idleto the working series, during the widening operation are similar to the 231 214 KNITTING. Fig. 133. Acme Full Automatic Machine. 232 KNITTING 215 pickers for transferring the needles from the working to the idle seriesduring the narrowing operation, the only difference being .that thedepressing pickers are provided with lips which overlie the needle butt,which is in engagement with the notched end of the picker, and thepicker is arranged to move downward when engaged by a needle buttand thus carry the needle downward from the idle towards the workingseries. In other words the pickers operate as follows, taking, for example,the lifter: As the cam cylinder rotates, the notched end of the liftercomes against the butt of the first needle in the row of active needle, being held in a vertical groove in the stationary needlecylinder, cannot move sidewise, and so its butt stops the
