Before Machinery
Textile factories were located near rivers and streams.
Water wheels were powered by the movement of the water.
The water wheels powered the machines.

4. Creation of Machines Spinning Jenny Fly Shuttle Water Frame Power Loom
These inventions created textiles (cloth) even faster.

5. A new way of making products

6. Factory System
Use of Centralized- everything is made in one factory, from beginning to end
Division of labor- each person had one job along the process of making a product
Interchangeable parts- broke parts can be replaced and keep the process going
Mechanization- the machine does all the work. Just feed it and let it go!!

Used by other manufactures to increase production

9. Became the main power source of the Industrial Revolution
Steam Engine
Became the main power source of the Industrial Revolution
James Watt improved the steam engine making it more efficient (work better).
Lead to the use of the steam engine on the railroad, lowering transportation costs of finished goods.
