Brother KH210 Sinker Hooks and Needles

The Brother KH210 knitting machine does not have gate pegs. Instead it has sinker hooks and sinker needles. A rather odd looking metal piece that moves as the carriage moves across the bed of the machine. Here are two pictures that show the sinker hooks and one showing the sinker needles.

On this first picture, where my hand is at the top of the machine above the sinker hooks, are the butts of the sinker hooks.  They look just like the butts of the needles that stick up out of the bed.  So the machine has two rows of these sticking up, one to the back of the bed and one to the front.
