Sock knitting machine - Kutsushitaamiki (English name) hosiery knitting machine
The first treadle stocking knitting machine was invented by the Englishman William Lee in 1589, and later in 1864 William Cotton invented a machine that used a similar principle to knit many socks at the same time, and an improved version of this became widely used as the "Ladies' Cotton-type Fully Fashioned Stocking Knitting Machine" (which produces flat knitted fabric with variable width to fit the shape of the foot when sewn together). This was a flat knitting machine that used whisker needles, and was widely used in Japan until the 1950s.
