I don’t usually write posts narrating in the first person, but here I am making an exception.
At the end of 2015, I attempted to reproduce a free hand-knit pattern shared and published on the Purl SOHO website and on Ravelry 
on the machine, and the related test swatch was a whopping 9 stitches wide.
At the time, I used the hold setting in the knit carriage to form alternating loops.
With my bulky now set up again, I wondered about a different approach.
The necessary loops can form with the use the tuck <-> setting.
The carriage needs to be on the side where the yarn is available on every pattern row before following carriage passes.
Using the hold button to bring the carriage to the opposite side after turning the work over would require all needles to be in the E position, making consideration for needle manual preselection for 2 positions necessary.
For this swatch, I chose to take the carriage off the bed and move it to the appropriate side as needed.
The knit carriage can perform tuck or slip functions without the addition of automatic patterning.
Needles hand-selected to the D or E position will knit; any remaining in the B position will tuck.
In this instance, colored cells in the chart represent D or E position needles, and white cells represent needles in B.
The repeat is an odd number of needles in width, 6 rows in height. 
The work is turned over after selecting and knitting rows 1 and 2, 4 and 5, but not after rows 3 and 6. The only row that knits with the carriage starting from the left is row 6.
Tools that can increase speed: any flat, hard-edged one to push groups of needles forward or back, in this case, my single bed cast-on comb, one to facilitate every other needle selection, and a bulky garter bar.
The bulky machine was equipped with a single bed cast on comb. I do not find it pleasingly useful, and resort to the single bed one if needed.
The yarns I initially chose were painfully prone to splitting, helping to expand my use of expletives.
Once I found a more manageable yarn pairing, the actions became rhythmic as the piece grew in length.
My hack for evenly distributed weight and stitch management was to use the standard cast-on comb poked through some waste yarn, with the addition of a small ribber weight placed in the center hole. Both were left on throughout the process. 
When it was time to use the garter bar to turn the work over, with all the needles pushed out to the E position, it was easy to tug down on the comb and pull the knitting forward on the bed after checking that all the latches were closed and that the grooved side of the garter bar was facing up.
If some of the stitches are not moved properly and the work needs to be pushed back for another attempt, some eyelets of the garter bar may be stuck behind any closed needle latches and cannot come past them. Push the bar further back, make certain all latches are open, and it will then be able to move past them.
With the yarn removed from the carriage, the work can then be turned over.
With all needles in the E position, check that all latches are open, and replace stitches in the needle hooks.
After checking visually that the yarn is transferred properly and present in all needle hooks, the bar is shifted forward, free and away from both. 
It is possible at that point to use the straight edge to push the needle butts back to move all the needles/ stitches back to the B position, 
and then to pull down on the bar to remove it.
The carriage is brought to the opposite side, yarn is returned to the feeder, needle selection is made, and knitting continues.
The proof of concept:
