More Great Information on Sinker Plate:
Different types of pitches in Baseball by Sabbik
Pitches are divided into three as fastballs, breaking balls and changeups. Fastballs can be thrown very fast. It is the most common pitch and can be thrown around 90 miles per hour. Fastballs are thrown at speeds of 95-104 mph and upto 107.9 mph. fastballs are divided into various types like four seam fastball, two seam fastball, cutter, forkball, and splitter. In four seam fastball grip the ball with your index and middle finger together across the horseshoe seam with your fingers spread apart slightly. Make sure your finger tips are a little bit over the laces. It is normally the fastest pitch a player has and can get as high as 100+mph. This fastball doesn’t have much movement, as pitchers just try and throw it past you. Two-seam fastball is also known as sinker.
Two-seam fastball has more downward movement during pitch. Cutter is a blend of slider and fastball. A forkball has a forward spin. The difference between splitter and forkball is that the splitter has a sudden drop to it and the forkball has more of a gradual drop. A pitcher who uses primarily breaking ball pitches is often referred to as a junkballer. A breaking ball is more difficult than a fastball for a catcher to receive as they sometimes hit the ground before making it to the plate. Breaking balls are divided into three as curveball, slider and screwball. In curveball a pitcher puts top spin on a pitch in order for the ball to break or curve. A slider has more speed than a curveball, but less speed than a fastball. The screwball breaks in the opposite direction.
Changeups are divided into palm ball, circle change, super changeup. Practice the palm ball by using tighter and looser grips until you find how you can throw the pitch more effectively. In baseball, circle change up is a pitch thrown with a grip that includes circle information, hence the name. The super changeup is simply a changeup that has a larger speed deferential between it and the fastball. Other types of pitches include knuckleball, Eephus Pitch, spitball and gyro ball. The knuckleball is thrown to have as little spin on the ball as possible. The Eephus pitch is a pitch that is thrown in a high arch. A spitball is a pitch that will have spit or some other kind of liquid on it. A Gyro ball is a pitch that will have a bullet like spin.

where can I find the parts for a Brother-Knit Model KH551 knitting machine?
it is a knitting machine that was given to me by my aunt Jessie.It was made in the 60's or 70's.There are some parts that needs to be replaced,the brushes and the felt bar and sinker plate assembly and the Tapestry Needle
I already have the books I just need the parts that are no longer work able I need to replace the parts.
First of all, make sure you have the exact proper name so you can search easily. I think what you have might be called BROTHER PROFILE 551 KNITTING MACHINE KH 551
I would always search on ebay first. You can also set it up as a favorite search on ebay and have them send you emails anytime something new comes up for auction. For example, is this the same one that you have:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220109180783&ih=012&category=146373&rd=1
The final selling price on ebay wasn't too high, which leads me to believe that you should be able to get what you want at a reasonable price.
I doubt that Brother will have old parts for this machine, but you can check with them.
There is also a website where you can check for knitting machines and parts:
http://knittingmachinebargains.com/eb/brother-knitting-machines-/
I would keep looking there.
For example, their site lead me to this one on ebay that didn't even come up when I searched ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160115124032&ih=006&category=146373&rd=1
You might also check with Brother to see if any other models of machines have compatible parts - such as the 551KH, KR, and the 551 or the 531. I downloaded a copy of the KR551 ribber manual and I noticed that someone handwrote 531 and 551 on the front cover.

This might increase your chances if they are interchangeable.
Also, check with vacuum and sewing machine repair shops in your area. They may have parts for older knitting machines.
You might also go to the Yahoo Groups section and join some of the Machine Knitting groups. Then post some messages stating you are looking for parts. Someone may have your parts or your answer on where they got some.
This site advertises that they sell knitting machine parts, I would check it out:
http://www.yarnups.com/default.htm
Maybe you can send them an email and ask about your machine directly.
In addition, I have seen Brother knitting machines called Knit-King. You might look into this option as well.
As a last resort, I would contact these places to see what you can come up with. They sell used machines.

This one will let you post a wanted ad:

This site looks like they just plain know a lot about knitting machines:

This guy looks like he might be able to help you too:

This site looks knowlegeable too:
http://goodeys.tripod.com/goodeysknittingroom/id20.html
EUREKA! Look what I just ran into when I did a GOOGLE:
http://goodeys.tripod.com/goodeysknittingroom/id31.html
It says that the parts are interchangeable: "The parts and pieces for the KH551, 555, 581, 585, 588, and 601 are virtually identical. " And it shows a photo with all the parts labeled.
I had a feeling that several machines were interchangeable as they all look similar to me!
I think it would be awesome to own and use one of these knitting machines. I am so jealous! Good luck getting it running.
