Abstract
An improved warp knitting machine employing compound needles and an interconnected trick-sinker mechanism which maintains a fixed relationship with the knitting needles and tends to hold the knitted fabric in line with the back guide bar to lessen the stress on the knitting needles. Each of the guide bars include a hollow guide tube to guide the warp yarn to a point closely adjacent the top of the knitting needle to reduce the necessary vertical stroke of the knitting needles.
