Abstract
A circular knitting machine with a dial arrangement, has a rotatable dial (2), a stationary dial cam system (12), a device (23) for feeding a lubricant to the dial arrangement and a collecting container (29) for reception of lubricant escaping from the dial arrangement. Elements (27) are associated with the dial arrangement which prevent or at least reduce the escape of lubricant consequent upon the effect of the centrifugal force over the radially outer edge of the dial (2).
