What be the first textile machines of the Industrial Revolution?
Answers:
Directly from Wikipedia: "In 1733 in Bury, Lancashire, John Kay invented the flying shuttle — one of the first of a series of inventions associated with the cotton industry. The flying shuttle increased the length of cotton cloth and speed of production of a single weaver at a loom."
"In 1738, Lewis Paul (one of the community of Huguenot weavers that had been driven out of France contained by a wave of religious persecution) settled in Birmingham and beside John Wyatt, of that town, they patented the Roller Spinning machine and the flyer-and-bobbin system, for drawing wool to a more even thickness. Using two sets of rollers that travelled at different speeds cotton could be twisted and spun quickly and efficiently. This be later used in the first cotton spinning mill during the Industrial Revolution." Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_man…
