    Bolted to the table is a Circular Sock Machine, specifically, an Auto-Knitter, manufactured by the AutoKnitters & Hosiery Company of Buffalo, NY from 1916-1927. Identical machines were later manufactured/sold by several companies up to the 90s. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikewade/3025705455/] ". . . By mid-1918 the need for socks was so severe that the Red Cross begged knitters, “Don’t make sweaters … every pound of yarn that can be secured should be used for knitting socks” " from Knitting for Victory -- World War I[https://www.flickr.com/photos/estonia76/530916797/]

    "In May 1918 the Seattle School Bulletin printed this patriotic knitting song: Johnnie, get your yarn, get your yarn, get your yarn; Knitting has a charm, has a charm, has a charm, See us knitting two by two, Boys in Seattle like it too. Hurry every day, don’t delay, make it pay. Our laddies must be warm, not forlorn mid the storm. Hear them call from o’re the sea, ‘Make a sweater, please for me.’ Over here everywhere, We are knitting for the boys over there, It’s a sock or a sweater, or even better To do your bit and knit a square." www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&...
