Silver Reed RT-1 transfer carriage
Like other transfer carriages, Silver Reed RT1 moves stitches from the ribber (SRP50, for example) to the main needlebed. RT-1 transfer carriages work with a wide range of punchcard and electronic Silver Reed (and other machines under this brand umbrella: Singer, Empisal Knitmaster, Studio, Riccar, Silver), such as Singer MemoMatic 210, Studio 260K, Silver Reed…

Lace carriage from Brother KH910 knitting machine
Typical for Brother knitting machines, there is no model number written on the lace carriage, but we can recognize the lace carriage from the KH910 knitting machine by the light brown/cream color combo, matching the general color scheme of the Brother KH910 knitting machine. This carriage is more complex than the lace carriages for its…

Lace carriage for KH830 knitting machine
There is no model number written on the lace carriage, but it can be recognized by its square-ish look and brownish color to match the general color scheme of the Brother KH830 knitting machine. It is obviously a bit more complex than the lace carriages for its older sisters, lace carriages for pushbutton machines. There…

Brother KH365 knitting machine
Brother KH365 is a plastic needlebed dual gauge knitting machine. It has exchangeable needlebed sections with the distances between grooves for needles either 4.5 mm or 9 mm. However, the needles are the same. I have not had a chance to work on a convertible dual-gauge machine like this, but I can imagine that despite…

Brother KH701 knitting machine
Brother KH701 was a pleasant surprise for me. I thought by now I’d know everything about 8-pushbutton machines but yet I discovered Brother KH701. Its deep blue, vibrant color makes it stand out among already colorful Brother 8-pushbutton machines. I already described in detail the features of 8-pushbutton machines in other posts. Brother KH701 is…

Singer AG20 intarsia carriage
Singer AG20 intarsia carriage fits almost all standard-gauge knitting machines manufactured under the Silver/Silver Reed/Empisal Knitmaster/Singer/Studio/RICCAR names (except for the turn-knob ones) and several of first generation punchcard machines. It even fits some fine-gauge machines but with some modifications (the step-wheel/gear needs to be replaced). It operates as a typical intarsia carriage and can knit…

Silver Reed AG50 electronic intarsia carriage
Silver Reed AG50 intarsia carriage is compatible with electronic Singer/Silver Reed/Studio/Empisal machines with the model numbers SK580 and SK840. It looks like a full-on carriage and, indeed, can work independelty not just for intarsia but to knit simple stockinet.

Brother KA-8210 intarsia carriage
Intarsia carriage KA8200 is compatible with a wider variety of standard-gauge Brother knitting machines, especially those in which carriages do not have built-in intarsia capabilities. The manual specifically mentions that the row counter/knit-leader tripper, used as a release knob for the carriage, activates the row counter for the KH830, KH840, and KH860 machines. The carriage…
