Procedure for Measuring Length Stretch


Leg: Place the outside heel gore (Figure 9) at the center of the top clamp pin (Figure 10). Place the sock top on the bottom clamp pin. Locate the pin at the midpoint of the sock top (Figure 11). Release the trip lever. (Figure 12).Record the reading from the display when the weight travel has stopped (Figure 13, 13a). Lift the bottom weight carriage until it locks back in place at the top position (Figure 14).

Loosen the top clamp (taking care not to remove the heel gore from the pin), and spin the sock 180 degrees until the toe is pointed downward toward the center of the bottom clamp pin (Figure 15). Relock the top clamp on the sock. Place the outside toe gore (Figure 16) at the center of the bottom clamp pin (Figure 17). Lock the clamp. Release the trip lever (Figure 12). Record the reading from the display when the weight travel has stopped (Figure 13,18). Lift the bottom weight carriage until it locks back in place at the top position (Figure 14).
