Abstract
A carriage for a hand knitting machine in which a plurality of cams, including upper and lower Jacquard cams, are sequentially arranged and are adjustable between inoperative and operative positions so as to define at least one raceway for the butts of needles reciprocable in the needle bed of the machine. At least the upper and lower Jacquard cams are actuable by individually operable lever means between said inoperative and operative positions. At least one of the lever means is interconnected with at least one of the other lever means such that actuation of one of the said lever means simultaneously actuates at least one of the other lever means to thereby actuate a predetermined combination of said cams.
