A two-page dictionary entry on knitting-machine needles from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It describes how the needle forms and casts off loops, and distinguishes the bearded (barbed) needle, the latch needle, and a needle with a closing slide, with a figure of needles a through f. It ends with brief notes on machines for manufacturing the needles, including Aiken's machine and one for making needle tongues.
