(57) The process comprises the provision, in a rectilinear knitting machine, of two beds
arranged substantially in the shape of an inverted V, one bed comprising a plurality
of feed tubes (T) for warp threads, the other bed comprising a corresponding plurality
of needles (1, 2, 3, 4), each tube (T) being operatively associated with each needle
and receiving an individual warp thread; the selection of preset needles of the plurality
of needles by means of carriage means which are alternately movable along the needle
bed, the selected needles being caused to protrude from the vertex of the V by a preset
extent; feeding the selected needles with a weft thread (F) by means of thread-guiding
means controlled by the carriage and the simultaneous feeding of the selected needles
with further warp threads fed by respective associated tubes, and finally dropping
the needles with the threads engaged thereon to form a longitudinal row of knitting.
