Abstract

A flat-bed knitting machine with a plurality of needle beds in each of which an intermediate plate is situated which is displaceable between four operating positions to thereby control the movement of an associated needle. Also located in each needle bed are pairs of selector plates and associated with each needle bed is an electro-magnetic selecting device which controls the location of the selector plates as a function of the knitting pattern relative to a cam track assembly and the intermediate plate associated with the selector plates.
