Some preliminary investigations into the mechanics of 1×1 rib loop formation on a dial and cylinder machine

摘要

An attempt has been made to find out the influence of the variables affecting loop length as well as to gain an insight into the mechanics of loop formation on dial and cylinder machine with 1×1 rib gating. For the purpose, the movement of yarn across the knitting elements during loop formation has been studied with the help of a traveling microscope and the loop length has been measured in fabrics produced under different conditions of knitting.
