This V bed machine was supplied with a range of accessories, including bobbins, wires, swifts, set-up combs, tools, threading wires, pear weights, and a plating guide. The average operator could produce around 12,000 stitches per minute. The cam system enabled the machine to produce circular knitting, half cardigan, rib knitting, and tucking in addition to basic knitting.
