flexible materials by the ordinary circular or rectilinearknitting frames. By this frame cotton, flax, hemp, wool,silk and even iron wire can be manufactured into threadwith great facility. It is said to produce, with finematerials, a superior fabric to those manufactured by theordinary means.
In tins loom the sinker wheel is omitted, and its placesupplied by a circle or ring which regulates the motion ofthe sinkers. As soon as the thread enters, the sinkersretain it in the loop of the needles, until after the passageof the presser wheel, and do not leave it until the mo-ment when the mesh, pushed off by the pushers, falls overthe lower mesh. It is thus that a regular forming of themeshes is produced. Each mesh being taken, held, andreleased successively, the hardest and least flexible ma-terials cannot escape from the loop of the needle until themesh is formed. It also permits of the needles beingplaced close together, and the construction of frames of avery fine gauge.
The frame is furnished with a counter, which indicatesthe number of turns. On the circumference of the framemay be placed 1, 2, 3, or 4 sets of working parts; andthus 1, 2, 3, or 4 meslies may be made on eacli needle ateach revolution. The machine makes one revolution persecond. _
