The Std Needle Bed has a mast base attached to it so that the mast designed by MrRoboto19's CSM can be used to tension the yarn feeding into the knitting machine.
The author remixed this model.
This enables a yarn mast to be used with the knitting machine to achieve better tension on the yarn being fed into the machine. This mast base is part of the CSM designed by MrRoboto19. The base does not interfere with the operation of the backplate/yarn carrier assembly.
