Abstract
A new method of selecting knitting needles of a straight knitting machine by scanning a program carrier; producing sampling pulses; taking electric signals obtained as a result of said scanning; storing in a temporary storage a preset number of digital electric signals; reading out, in a cyclic manner, said preset number of digital electric signals in response to carriage movement; and selecting needles according to contents of said preset number of digital electric signals to be cyclically read out, is provided. An improved straight knitting machine to put the new method into practice is also provided. With this new method and the improved straight knitting machine, it has become possible to simplify a recording of the profile indicating the unit pattern and to knit a pattern having a desired profile and size.
