Having had no experience before, these are the few things I learned. There were different kinds of knitting machines. Brinton, Scafford & Holt, Jacquard, Dubied, Eppler Necktie Machine.
When I went into a knitting mill for the first time, I was struck by the whirring and clicking of machines and was momentarily terrified. I soon got over that. After awhile the noise became second nature to me as I went about my daily tasks.
Each day, my daily work was to operate the machines and keep checking them constantly for breaks in the material and making sure I was turning out perfect cloth.
In most modern plants, the cloth was rolled up as it came out of the machines. After enough had been made I would cut off the material and the next roll would be started. This was to be continued throughout the day.
As one spool ran out, it had to be replaced by a fresh one.
The roll was a cone of thread weighing approximately three to four pounds.
