Flat lock machines are specialized, high-speed machines that use two or more needle threads to form stitches by passing through fabric and interlocking on the top and bottom sides. They have multiple needles, loopers, and spreaders and can sew at speeds up to 6000 SPM. Flat lock machines are mainly used for sewing knitted garments but can also be used for woven fabrics. They require numerous thread types and adjustments to operate properly.

Different parts of knitting machine and parameterAzmir Latif Beg
Knitting machines are mainly two types; they are circular knitting machine and flat bed knitting machine. This two types are hugely use in knitting machine. A knitting machine is composed of lots of parts. Every parts of a machine are important for run the machine smoothly. Every part has a specific function during operation.
Warp knitting is a family of knitting methods in which the yarn zigzags along the length of the fabric, i.e., following adjacent columns ("wales") of knitting, rather than a single row ("course"). For comparison, knitting across the width of the fabric is called weft knitting

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Flat Lock Machine
Flat lock machines are specialized, high-speed machines.
These machines are extremely fast and efficient. In this
machine the stitch is formed by two or more needle threads
passing through the material, inter looping on the
underside and interlocking on the upper side. These
machines are mainly used for knits.
Elements in Stitching
1. Needle
2. Looper
3. Spreader
Multi Needle machine have more than three needles.
4. Loopers:
Loopers are available in different shapes respective of
their machines. Looper may or may not carry the lower
thread in the formation of stitch. As in case of flat lock
looper holds the lower thread but in case of single needle
chain stitch it holds the needle thread.
Spreader:
Spreader work in conjunction with a looper to assist
in the loop formation. They in fact move the thread but did
not carry the thread
5. Specifications

garments.
7. Description
This machine may be of flat bed or cylinder bed type.
In our lab 21, 22 nos. machines are flat bed and 32 no.
machine is cylinder bed type.
Flat bed is used for sewing body cloth and cylinder bed is
used for sleeve cloth.
In this machine 4 needles may also be used and sewing may
be done using from 4 to 9 threads.
Sewing with flat lock machine the most quantity thread is
needed.
The SPM of this type of machine is usually 6000 and 8-16
stitches may be done per inch.
It is a very expensive machine and is used for mainly sewing
knitted goods but also used for making woven cloth.
14. Differential-feed micro-adjustment
mechanism
It is possible to finely adjust the differential feed
amount to a best-suited value for the material to be
used. In addition, the differential feed ratio remains
the same even when the stitch length is changed.
15. Micro-lifter mechanism
Elastic material or delicate material can be sewn with the
presser foot kept slightly raised. This effectively helps
reduce the degree of slippage, warpage and damage of the
material.
16. Stitch length adjusting mechanism
Stitch pitch (stitch length) can be adjusted with ease
simply by turning the stitch dial.

19. Flat locking Facts:
Flat locking is a decorative stitch.
Use the standard presser foot.
Disengage the upper blade so the folded fabric will not be cut.
Use the left needle for the widest flat lock stitch.
Decorative thread usually goes in the upper looper.
Stitching is done on the fold of the fabric.
Wrong sides of the fabric are folded together in order for the loops to
show on the right side.
Right sides of the fabric are folded together in order for ladder stitches
to show on the right
side.
Flat locking on a folded edge creates a decorative stitch through the
middle of the fabric piece.
32. Stitches are formed by two or more groups of threads.
One group is called needle thread and another is
called looper thread
Threads are bound together by interlacing and
interlooping.
Multi thread chain stitch is also called double locked
stitch.
Possibility of seam pucker formation is less.
Extensibility is same as lock stitch.
Used for long length sewing, heavy fabric sewing
attaching lace, braid, elastic etc...
33. Stitch class – 600 ( Multi – thread
chain stitch )
Stitches under 600 class are formed by three groups
of threads.
One group is called needle and other is called top
cover thread and the other group is called bottom
cover thread.
Stitches under this group are very complex and may
need up 9 threads.
Used for making knitted undergarments to attach
tape, lace, elastic.
Also used for decorative purposes
