Brother KH810 is a knitting machine with punchcard-reading capabilities to create patterns and automatically select needles. It has 200 needles, 4.5 mm apart, which makes it a standard-gauge knitting machine.

It is very likely the very first punchcard machine capable of reading punchcards with 24 stitch-repeat patterns. The previous models are Brother KH800 and KH801, which accept 12-stitch punchcards and also have a different card reading mechanism.

It was probably released just to the Japanese market: so far I was only able to locate a model with all Japanese writing on the carriage and the machine. If you are looking for a manual for this machine, check out Brother KH820; the machines are very similar.
