the carriage and during movement of the carriage from left to right according to the arrow in fig1 the cam elements 39 and 40 are inactive as shown in fig1 position 15 in fig1 illustrates the starting position for the further stitch transfer process position 15 is the same as position 14 the entire rear push bar and the double hook needle 1 are then pushed to the forward needle bed by a cam element 48 in so doing the left needle hook 8 abuts the forward stitch transfer bar 3 and pushes it also into the forward needle bed until the stitch 15 slides past and over the left needle hook 8 onto the double hook needle 1 this is illustrated in position 16 a cam element 49 then pushes the entire forward push bar 2 toward the rear needle bed until the double hook needle 1 and the rear push bar 5 are in their base position in the rear needle bed as illustrated in position 17 thereupon the forward push bar 2 is drawn with the aid of cam elements 35 and 43 back to the bas position 18 where the position of the double hook needle 1 and the push bar 5 is unchanged relative to position 17 the selection of needles takes place as with knitting cams either by high and low foot bars jacquard cards or electronically fig1 illustrates a cam arrangement for a left left double cam of a machine with double hook needles and push bars but without stitch transfer cams this cam arrangement is provided for a high performance left left flat knitting machine and is clearly understandable from the illustration in fig1 without further explanation.
