As a fellow engineer, have you tried researching the patent? Usually if you can’t find the manual but the patent diagrams are super detailed and can help you figure out the mechanisms

I also have a Dubied that was gifted to me by the owner's mother. I have the original purchase invoice from 1920. Looks like it was unused from the 50's. I am thrilled that you have also have one! Please keep up the videos. You already have showed me the colour changer mechanism. I didn't know that is what if for!!!!!!

My first use of punch cards was for computers (in the 1970s) but I love that you mentioned how much of that technology was driven by the textile industry and machines already available and functioning. You're much younger than I am but I appreciate that you value the history.

Wonderful! Milissa Ellison Dewey and Vintage and Antique Knitting Machines (both on FB) are a great place to look for help on these older machines. She has soooo many vintage knitting machines and is a delight to work with. I’m so excited for you. I have a late 19th century Lamb v-bed knitting machine so I feel your delight.

That machine is so cool! I look forward to seeing how the restoration goes. I have been enjoying your videos - I’m a hand knitter and am very tempted by a knitting machine for their speed, but I have no mechanical skills at all and they actually look harder/more complicated than hand knitting to me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge (and ever expanding machine collection!).

For cleaning the old caked-on grease off of machines like that you can use ammonia if it's all ferrous metal, or borax with a bit of dish soap in hot water if there's some nonferrous metal that the ammonia might attack. I used ammonia to clean an old industrial sewing machine that I picked up a few months ago, and it went from a dark caramel brown to a beautiful factory-fresh grey; the transformation was incredible.

As a machine knitter myself with a love of old machinery also. I am really looking forward to following your journey here! But I will say, don’t be too intimidated by it, think of all the 100-years-and-older sewing machines out there, still functioning. My 1908 Singer treadle still works like new. One of the other commenters had the right idea - trace the history of the company. You know it comes from the French-speaking part of Switzerland, that’s not a huge area.

I love this video and I love that you have this machine. I can hear the reverence you have for the history of the machine in your voice. I too am in software and my dad was as well - so I grew up with punch cards as "scratch paper". I didn't realize until much later that punch cards were an integral part of machine knitting. I am excited to see more on this.

There's something beautiful about a really well built mechanism. At a previous job we had an Original Heidelberg platter press. It was made in "Western Zone Germany" after WWII but, before West Germany was a country. It wasn't a particularly fast press but it just ran. It was sold last year and as far as I know it's still being used in production.

You might want to reach out to Eric at Hand Tool Rescue. He acquires and restores early and mid 20th century small industrial equipment and has a KZbin channel. Most of his videos are not narrated, so try to find one with narration. In these videos, he discusses how he locates manuals, patent records, and information about the equipment he restores. He works on various types of equipment, and he may have run into information about this generation of knitting machines.

For the stand on this thing, I suggest you get 5/4 board to make a table out of. You can cut the board down the middle and then position it on the stands so that it has the gap that is needed for the fabric to descend. The 5/4 board should be more than strong enough to hold up that heavy machine. If not, you can double it or use 2/4 construction to make the stand with. The 5/4 will look nicer though.

At work I used for some years a motorized version of a machine really similar to this, called Scomar (I'm italian). The two slits in front and back are indeed tension controller, they're really precise and if you don't set them exactly the same you'll see some tension issues between rows. There should be some levers to activate front and back needle back, one at time or work in circular (crossing the levers).

I am sure to be teaching my grandmother to suck eggs. However, have you tried the Company? Even if they no longer exist, the company would have been taken over. Usually, company historical records are left to museums, and local textile colleges. If French, find the nearest textile college to the company. Good luck with your endeavour. Regards AlisonX

First, you better test the whole machine for lead because you never know what could be lead. Second, you could restore it, but what if it does have lead throughout the machine, what are you going to do?
