itted wearing ap-parel, outer as well as under garments. For knitting fabrics forunderwear, or more specifically shirts and drawers, latch-needlemachines may be classified as Flat or Straight, and Circular.LATCH NEEDLE CIRCULAR MACHINES. The circular machines may be divided into three classes. L The Revolving Needle Cylinder in which the needlecylinder, needle dial, take-up, and fabric revolve (or strictly speaking,rotate); the cam ring, cam dial plate, and bobbin rack remainingstationary. 2. The Stationary Needle Cylinder in which the cam ring(to which are fixed the vertical needle actuating cams), cam dialplate (to which are fixed the cams for actuating the horizontal orradial needles), bobbin rack, and cross bar revolve; the needle cylinder,needle dial, take-up, and fabric remaining stationary. 3. The Flat Head Circular Machine in which the needleplate or dial is located outside of the needle cylinder. Each type of machine may be subdivided into Plain and Auto-matic. 89 76 KNITTING

The Automatic Machines make a tubular web of either a plainor a tuck stitch, or a combination of both; in the latter, the stitch ischanged automatically from one to the other. The fabric madewith the combination stitch is used in making shaped goods. (SeeFig. 25.) In these knitting machines the needles of the horizontalneedle dial are controlled by movable needle-directing cams operatedautomatically. These cams move the needles farther out, or drawthem in, as required to obtain the characteristic stitches for the plainor tuck fabric for the shaped garment. In making shaped goods, the 1 and 1 stitch (Fig. 26), is usuallyemployed, viz.: All the needles in both cylinder and dial. Formaking straight goods, it is common practice to use the 2
