 In 1733 a clockmaker named John Kay invented the flying shuttle.  James Hargreaves, a poor English worker in 1764, invented a machine called the spinning jenny.  Richard Arkwright made further improvements with a machine called the water frame.

 In 1784 Samuel Crompton combined the best features of the spinning jenny and the water frame in another machine, the spinning mule.  In 1785, an English minister, Edmund Cartwright invented a loom powered by water.  In 1794, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin.

 Originally, men and women would make cloth in their homes.  However, because new machines were being made, the work had to be done in factories.  Men and women would work in these factories, using these machines to make increased amounts of cloth.  Weavers and spinners could also work faster in these factories.

 Because of the improvements in producing textiles, it can be predicted that Britain will gain power over textile production throughout Europe during Industrial Revolution.  The machineries and improvements in production increased the amount of textiles produced in a shorter amount of time.  Because of the increased production of textiles, their price started to decrease.  When cotton-made clothes’ prices came down, the English people began demanding more textiles.  Since the English had large resources of cotton, tremendous amounts of cotton fabrics were made and a large amount of natural resources were imported to other countries.  Therefore, Britain had many factors that were advantageous in the production of textiles which made England gain more access to the control of textile production.

 How it Spread:  All of the new inventions that were made (like the loom powered by water and spinning mule) really helped pick up the speed of production of the cloth.  Helped produce a greater amount of cloth to meet the high demand for it Cotton Fabrics Punjab Clothes Warehouse

 Cotton cloth became cheaper to produce and the cost to buy it became lower.  Made it better for the companies who are producing it  Made the people buying it happier because they could get it for a lower price  Money could be spent on other things  Like transporting more goods, buying more raw cotton to meet higher demands, or to promote the products  Could also be spent on improving the machines further.

 Cotton gin also helped speed up the process of cotton cloth production  It allowed cotton to be cleaned faster, therefore enabling the cloth to be produced faster.  Meets demands faster Cotton Gin

 How it will impact other countries:  All the inventions from England will travel to other countries  This will help the other countries produce other things faster  They will be able to make things at a cheaper price because their speed of production will increase  They will have better trade and economy because of this  They will also be able to meet the needs of their people better because of the faster production rate Spread of Industrial Revolution SRU Faculty

 The textile industry was the first industry in England to use mechanization, or the use of machinery to enlarge production.  These machines led to advancements in other industries  Ex. More machines led to a greater demand for iron and steel  Mechanization, which began with the textile industry in England, is still used in manufacturing today.
