    Patent number: 4294085
    Abstract: In a flat bed knitting machine, needles are selected for tucking in either direction of traverse by jacks selected by an actuator bank, preferably electronically controlled, located below a clearing cam. The jacks may themselves carry pattern butts as means are provided in a preferred embodiment to place all jacks in the same pre-selection attitude. The jacks may operate the needles directly without intermediate jacks. The cam carriage may have transfer stations at each end for leading and trailing transfer.
