Three pages from the Knitting Department of the trade journal Textiles (pp. 25-27). John Chamberlain's installment on the manufacture of knit goods covers the straight bar (fashioning) knitting machine: needle-head paths for knitting and fashioning courses, needle bar, sinker and narrowing mechanism control, and care, adjustment and fault-finding for good selvages. Shorter items follow on grades of silk hosiery (pure dye, dipped, ingrain) and a patented thread-cutting attachment for looping machines.
