Brother KA-800 transfer carriage.
Brother KA-800 is a mystery carriage: it is not mentioned anywhere. Yet, I found it on an online auction. It looks like a better-known Brother KA-8300 transfer carriage.

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.
