Part of a serial study of knitting in Posselt's Textile Journal (November 1907). It explains the mock rib stitch, then compares spring beard (and trick) needles with latch needles in construction, fastening in the cylinder, and stitch formation. It describes the parts of a spring beard circular knitting machine (feed burr, dividing burr, landing burr, presser wheel, sinker burr, cloth wheel) and walks through plain stitch formation using Figs. 17-21.
