Tuttle Sock Machine Instruction Manual

The Tuttle Knitting Machine was manufactured by the Lamb Knitting Machine Company of Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts.  Constructed with a conical ribber dial, it was the first knitting machine to create purl stitches.  The firm remarks: The difficulty with all circular knitting machines heretofore manufactured is, that they are confined to plain work.  Before the introduction of the "Tuttle" Machine, there was not one that even pretended to accomplish the ribbed stitch; and the want of the ribbing attachment has materially reduced their usefulness in the family and the factory.  The "Tuttle" Machine, an improvement upon every other in a variety of ways, has the further especial recommendation, that besides every variety of other work performed by any circular knitter; also knits a "genuine hand ribbed stitch", and this, with its capacity for every style of plan and fancy work, has already made it the most popular machine wherever introduced.

The Tuttle Knitting Machine manual is a 54 page booklet describing the set up and operation of the Tuttle Knitting Machine.  A photocopy of the manual is available in english.
