One set of needles F, Fig. 1, is used, each needle operating two hooks a, and on alternate hooks are pivoted auxiliary binding-hooks b, which have tailpieces b<1> embracing the preceding hooks and resting on fixed cross-wires i. Upper and lower griffs B, C on the same frame are employed, each griff having ordinary twilling-bars E, e for determining the positions of the ordinary pivoted blades d, c. When the second needle, Fig. 3, is moved by a blank in a card, so as to move back its hooks 3, 4, while the preceding hooks 1, 2 are not moved, the binding-hook b<2> is turned on its fulcrum owing to the increase of distance between the hooks 2, 3, and the hook b<2> is engaged by its blade c, so that the hook 3, which would otherwise be left down, is lifted. In their normal position, the blades care inclined towards the hooks b, but when the cylinder H, Fig. 1, is moved towards the needles, a bracket f on the cylinder frame acts upon the twilling - bars e to move the blades c into a nearly vertical position, in which they are adapted to engage the hooks b. Cross-wires j are attached to tail-pieces c<1> on the blades c, and when the twilling-bars e are returned to their normal position by the action of springs, the wires j push down the tail-pieces of the hooks b. The twilling-bars E are operated in the usual manner by a cylinder D, to move certain of the blades d into a vertical position clear of their hooks a. When a blade d is moved into a vertical position, a lever g attached thereto acts upon a pin h on a twilling-bar e, which by means of its catch o moves the preceding blade c of the lower griff beyond the position to which it was moved by the action of the bracket f, and a blade c thus moved is clear of its hook b, so that the corresponding hook a is not lifted.
