First installment of E. A. Posselt's study of knitting processes and machinery, from Posselt's Textile Journal, October 1907. It opens with the history of the stocking frame and the competing stories about William Lee's invention, then names later improvers of knitting machinery. It describes the latch needle and the spring beard needle, with numbered part diagrams. It explains how plain stitch, 1:1 and other rib stitches, and tuck stitch are formed and how the resulting fabrics differ. Knitted fabrics are classed as hosiery, ribbed goods and flat goods.
