Abstract
A circular knitting machine has needle beds; a cylinder and a dial, and means to drive the cylinder and dial including three assemblies symmetrically arranged about three planes which intersect on a line substantially coincident with the machine axis, the assemblies thereby acting to center the cylinder and dial. It is preferred for the assemblies to include shafts and intermediate gears connecting the shafts to crown gears on the cylinder and dial, and for the cylinder to be axially adjustable by means in each assembly relative to the dial.
