adjusted vertically they are each secured in position by a screw and lock nut 4*.
The sides of the cylinder may be provided with projecting studs or pegs and
perforated to the gauge required for the passage of the horizontal needles.
Each cylinder is held down by break levers 6, and revolved by clawkers 7.
The in and out movements of the cylinder or cylinders being effected by the
