it is also possible to remove a needle pusher along the cylinder development for example the 96th needle pusher starting from a predetermined point in this case the selection of the first 95 needles at the first revolution of the pattern drum will be equal to the selection of the previous first 95 needles in the case but from the 96th needle onwards until the 191st 95 96 there will be a different selection namely that which was obtained on the second revolution in the previous case in this case there will be an even greater increase in size of the pattern but this will result in the height being reduced to one half as two selection diagonals of the drum have been utilised before completing the turn about the cylinder it is also necessary to introduce a needle pusher with a butt outside the diagonal to compensate for the one removed this needle pusher may be added as the 192nd needle pusher and will make a stitch to be established according to the chose pattern in this manner other possible situations can evidently be chosen by removing a needle at other points of constant pitch on the cylinder to obtain different patterns the overall size of the pattern height multiplied by width.
