Introducing the 1893* Vintage Gearhart Circular Sock machine.
The vintage Gearhart machines went through many versions in features and machine design from the end of the 1800’s through 1924. This video focuses on an this version which didn’t have a ribber, featured lead rotating cylinders and a simplified top yarn setup with heel (take-up) spring.
This video covers the difference in applying the cast-on bonnet and assembling a machine like this.
This is an open CAM machine.
