The Lamb Knitting Machine Corporation began operations at Rochester, NY, in 1865 prior to moving to Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts in 1867.
      The Lamb Flatbed Knitting Machine on John Giokas' work bench is Serial No. 1683, manufactured in Rochester, NY.
       On October 25, 1999, Mr. Giokas serviced this knitting machine for Fred Hauck of Rochester, NY, and demonstrated the method of threading up for knitting.
      Mr. Giokas said he "never wanted to throw anything away." He was able to supply new needles and needle stops for this vintage machine.
