To determine index correction , we take sharp edged straight knitting needle.Measure its actual length using the metre rod.This actual length is called real distance( x ).Arranege the uprights containing the mirror and the needle on the optical bench.Adjust their heights so that centre of the mirror and tip of the needle lie on the same horizontal line i.e the two are at the same height.Adjust the distance between the uprights so that one end of knitting needle touches the knitting needle and the other end of the knitting needle touches the centre of the mirror.Read the positions of the index marks carrying the two uprights. The difference in these positions gives us the observed distance( y ).Index correction = Real distance - observed distance= x - yThis may be +ive or -ive.
20mm knitting needles are needles that are 20mm in diameter. They are also known as US size 35 needles.
