Fig. 90 illustrates the circular ribbed sioeater collar, showingautomatically racked courses, made on the collar machine of thissame type, which makes a circular collar with racked or finished edge,and with a variety of racked courses throughout the collar, as maybe noted in the illustration. The machine works continuously, andautomatically racks the courses as it knits. Fig. 91 represents the sweater and cardigan jacket machine, withdouble feed and striping attachment, and automatic racking attach-ment, that racks borders and bands of any width and at any part ofthe web, without attention from the knitter. Another important and desirable feature of these machines isthe separating course of knitting (see across the middle of Figs. 86 and87), which enables the operator to separate the goods without cuttingthe fabric, leaving a clean, smooth, finished edge. 165 150 KNITTING
