loop, which is cast off, as shown at needle 3. Presently the needle commences to rise again, as its turn of work recurs, and, as it does so, as shown at needle 4, the loop lying in the hook slips down the shank, capsizes the latch t, and falls over it into the depression in the shank, as shown at needle 1. This is one round of work for a needle. Knitting by machinery is a rapid repetition of these motions. Knitting-machine needles are made in machines by which the wire is reduced. In Aiken's machine the blanks are clamped in the arbors and brought singly between the grooved rest and rotating cutter, and are reduced by the cutter, which turns in a longitudinal plane, the arbors rotating meanwhile. After the blank has been reduced, it is drawn back from between the rest and cutter, the arbor-wheel is unlocked from the spring detent-pin, and another blank brought into position. In another machine, for making the tongues of knitting-needles, the machine first farms the bowl an
