X. Combination Tie-up in Two Sections. (“Tie-up Amalgamate.”)

Fig. LXIII.

This tie-up illustrates the point tie-up and the straight-through combined on the two-section system. In [Fig. LXIII.], a 600 machine is used for illustration; the comber-board being divided into two parts: a, b, c, d, for No. 1 section; e, f, g, h, for No. 2 section.

No. 1 section requires the use of needles and hooks 1 to 200 on the straight-through principle, four divisions, taking 800 warp-threads.

No. 2 section requires the use of needles and hooks 201 to 600 on the point principle, one division, taking 800 warp-threads. The two sections thus use 1600 warp-threads in one repeat.

The threading of the harness is as follows: 1-201, 2-202, 3-203, etc., ending with 200-201.

This tie-up, as well as any changes in the arrangement and the number of needles, (but not changed in its principle), is used for double color figures of warps of large design, with a small all-over figure effect (No. 1 section) for the ground. [Fig. LXIV.] is executed on this tie-up.
