Abstract

An electric device selects the needles of a rectilinear knitting machine. A carriage which moves in front of the needles is provided with an electro-magnetic member which successively operates the needls during its displacement. The device includes a memory member containing data for activating the electromagnetic member to operate the needles required for making a determined width of a knitting. A scanning installation scans the memory member synchronously with the displacement of the carriage.
