 The clearing cam (C) forces the needle to rise up for

clearing of the old loop and the corresponding guard
cam (G) controls its rising motion and prevents it
from jumping etc. After clearing, the needle starts
moving downwards under the control of the stitch
cam (S). The downward movement of the needle is
guided by the up-throw cam (U). The level of the
needle is maintained by the running cams (R)
