Volume 5 of the seven-volume Cyclopedia of Textile Work, an American Technical Society correspondence-school reference on machine knitting. It covers cylinder spring needle and latch needle circular machines, stationary needle cylinder and Leighton flat-head machines, hand and full-automatic hosiery machines, fancy and lace-effect hosiery, and full-fashioned machines. The final section deals with knit goods finishing: sewing and finishing machines such as the Merrow and Willcox & Gibbs, and machines for underwear. Text includes yarn number tables, needle and cam mechanics, machine adjustment instructions, hand-knitting instructions for mittens and gloves, and review questions. It is heavily illustrated with machine drawings and photographs of fabric swatches and knitting rooms.
