in which it will not be subject to any positive feed the working needles in the machine will themselves pull the yarn y 1 2 from the yarn supply spool via the wheel fw 1 rotating with the speed v 1 during actuation of the lower electro magnet em 1 the yarn guiding arm 11 will pivot in a clockwise direction under the influence of the movement of the armature 12 so that the yarn y 1 2 comes into engagement between the feeding tape ft 1 and the yarn feeding wheel fw 1 whereby the yarn y 1 2 will be subjected to positive feeding with the speed v 1 of the feeding tape ft 1 during de actuation of the lower electro magnet em 1 and directly following actuation of the upper electro magnet em 2 the yarn guiding arm 11 swivels in an anti clockwise direction whereby the yarn y 1 2 leaves its engagement between the feeding tape ft 1 and the wheel fw 1 via its 34 neutral position 34 shown in the figures this is utilized for making the first course of stitches in the goods to be knitted and during adjustment and re adjustment work in the machine the yarn is moved over under the influence of the movement.
