Riccar RK-605 knitting machine
Riccar RK-605 knitting machine is a bit of an odd sister in the series of Silver-Reed-produced machines branded as Riccar because of its pushbuttons: all other machines in the Riccar series are indeed like all other Silver Reed machines, have only either turn-knob- or punchcard-based or electronic patterning capabilities.
