Abstract
The invention is concerned with a knitting cambox system for a flat knitting machine with front and rear needle beds arranged gable-fashion and adapted for the production of multicolor knitted fabric a single pass of the machine carriage. An improvement is achieved in this invention by the interassociation of a plurality of independently-operable needle sinkers at the two sides of the knitting cambox so as to provide a timewise-staggered drawing-down of the stitches and increased stitch production.
