    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87370-3 - Heroes of Invention: Technology, Liberalism and British Identity, 1750-1914 Christine MacLeod Frontmatter More information Heroes of Invention This innovative study adopts a completely new perspective on both the industrial revolution and nineteenth-century British culture. It investi- gates why inventors rose to heroic stature and popular acclaim in Victorian Britain, attested by numerous monuments, biographies and honours, and contends there was no decline in the industrial nation’s self-esteem before 1914. In a period notorious for hero-worship, the veneration of inventors might seem unremarkable, were it not for their previous disparagement and the relative neglect suffered by their twentieth-century successors. Christine MacLeod argues that inventors became figureheads for various nineteenth-century factions, from economic and political liberals to impoverished scientists and radical artisans, who deployed their heroic reputation to challenge the aristocracy’s hold on power and the militaristic national identity that bolstered it. Although this was a challenge that ultimately failed, its legacy for present-day ideas about invention, inventors and the history of the industrial revolution remains highly influential.

  • Inventions in the Cotton Industry
    Inventions in the Cotton Industry Paisley Thread Mill Museum A Family of Threads John Kay: The Flying Shuttle 1733 • For centuries handloom weaving had been carried out by the shuttle with the yarn on being passed slowly and awkwardly from one hand to the other. • In 1733 John Kay patented his flying shuttle which dramatically increased the speed of this process. • Kay placed shuttle boxes at each side of the loom connected by a long board, known as a shuttle race. • With cords, a single weaver, using one hand, could knock the shuttle back and forth across the loom from one shuttle box to the other. • A weaver using Kay's flying shuttle could produce much wider cloth at much faster speeds than before. James Hargreaves: The Spinning Jenny 1764 • In 1764 Hargreaves built what became known as the Spinning- Jenny. • The machine used eight spindles onto which the thread was spun. • By turning a single wheel, the operator could now spin eight threads at once. • Later, improvements were made that enabled the number to be increased to eighty. • However, the thread that the machine produced was coarse and lacked strength. Richard Arkwright: The Water Frame 1771 • Richard Arkwright: The Water Frame 1771 • In 1762 Richard Arkwright met John Kay and Thomas Highs, who were trying to produce a new spinning- machine, to improve on the Spinning-Jenny. • Kay and Highs had run out of money and Arkwright offered to employ John Kay to make the new machine, with other, local craftsman to help. • It was not long before the team produced the Spinning-Frame.

  • The Industrial Revolution - Making Cloth: the Start of the Industrial Revolution
    The Industrial Revolution - Making Cloth: The Start of the Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution - Making Cloth: The Start of the Industrial Revolution by ReadWorks The Industrial Revolution got its start in the textile industry. Before the Industrial Revolution, making cloth was a very slow process. Cotton from cotton plants is puffy and full of seeds. First, the seeds had to be taken out, by hand. Next, the cotton had to be spun and stretched into thread, by hand. Finally, the thread was woven into cloth, by hand. Every step along the way required the full concentration of one person. Making cloth took a long time. In 1764, the process of turning cotton into cloth began to change. The three main steps stayed the same. But people began to use machines instead of doing everything manually. The machines did each step faster and faster. Some of the machines were huge. They couldn't fit into a person's home. The first factories were built to house machines and the workers needed to run them. Look at the timeline below. It describes the most important textile machines that were invented. Use it to answer the questions that follow. 1764: The spinning jenny was invented by James Hargreaves. This machine made it easier to make thread. 1769: Sir Richard Arkwright invented the water frame. Now weavers could keep up with all the thread that was being made. After the invention of the water frame, one weaver could weave the yarn from four spinners! The water frame was too big for homes. It only fit in factories.

  • An Overview of Spinning Technologies: Possibilities, Applications and Limitations
    Indian Journal of Fibre & Textile Research Vol. 17 , December 1992, pp. 255-262 An overview of spinning technologies: Possibilities, applications and limitations K R Salhotra Department of Textile Technology. Indian Institute of Technology. Hauz Khas. New Delhi 110016. India Received 12 August 1992 The new spinning technologies such as rotor, air jet and friction spinning have tremendous potential for hi gher productivity. However. at present these technologies not o nl y suffer from the problem of imparting some undesirable properties to the fabric but a lso have limited applicability due to the restricted choice of fibres and counts which can be successfully spun on them. Ring-spinning system, though having lower productivity, does not have these drawbacks. This system, therefore, with the incorporation of some recent improvements is likely to occupy the centre stage for the next few years.

  • Textiles for Dress 1800-1920
    Draft version only: not the publisher’s typeset P.A. Sykas: Textiles for dress 1800-1920 Textile fabrics are conceived by the manufacturer in terms of their material composition and processes of production, but perceived by the consumer firstly in terms of appearance and handle. Both are deeply involved in the economic and cultural issues behind the wearing of cloth: cost, quality, meaning. We must look from these several perspectives in order to understand the drivers behind the introduction of fabrics to the market, and the collective response to them in the form of fashion. A major preoccupation during our time frame was novelty. On the supply side, novelty gave a competitive edge, stimulated fashion change and accelerated the cycle of consumption. On the demand side, novelty provided pleasure, a way to get noticed, and new social signifiers. But novelty can act in contradictory ways: as an instrument for sustaining a fashion elite by facilitating costly style changes, and as an agent for breaking down fashion barriers by making elite modes more affordable. It can drive fashion both by promoting new looks, and later by acting to make those looks outmoded. During the long nineteenth century, the desire for novelty was supported by the widely accepted philosophical view of progress: that new also implied improved or more advanced, hence that novelty was a reflection of modernity. This chapter examines textiles for dress from 1800 to 1920, a period that completed the changeover from hand-craft to machine production, and through Europe’s imperial ambitions, saw the reversal of East/West trading patterns.

  • The Rise of Bolton As an Important Engineering and Textile Town in Early 1800 England
    I. međunarodna konferencija u povodu 150. obljetnice tvornice torpeda u Rijeci i očuvanja riječke industrijske baštine 57 THE RISE OF BOLTON AS AN IMPORTANT ENGINEERING AND TEXTILE TOWN IN EARLY 1800 ENGLAND Denis O’Connor, Industrial Historian Bolton Lancashire, Great Britain INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that Great Britain changed, in the 19th Century, from a rural economy to one based on coal and iron. In doing so it created conditions for British civil, textile and mechanical engineers, such as Robert Whitehead of Bolton, to rise to positions of eminence in their particular fields. Such men travelled across Europe, and laid, through the steam engine and railways, the foundations for many of the regions present day industries. EARLY TEXTILES AND BLEACHING. RISE OF LOCAI INDUSTRIES The origins of Bolton’s textile and engineering industry lie back in the 12th Century with the appointment of a Crown Quality Controller called an Ulnager. During the reign of Henry V111 an itinerant historian Leland observed that ‘Bolton - upon - Moore Market standeth by the cotton and coarse yarns - Diverse villages above Bolton do make Cotton’ and that ‘They burne at Bolton some canelle (coal) of which the Pitts be not far off’. Coal, combined with the many powerful streams of water from the moorlands, provided the basic elements for the textile industry to grow, the damp atmosphere conducive to good spinning of thread. In 1772 a Directory of Manchester (10-12 miles distant) was published, in this can be seen the extent of cloth making in an area of about 12 miles radius round Manchester, with 77 fustian makers (Flax warp and cotton or wool weft) attending the markets, 23 of whom were resident in Bolton.

Somewhere in their heritage and upbringing these characteristics were dominant. How I wish they were still alive to enjoy with us the new bits of family history we are finding, for clues they passed along have led to many fascinating discoveries. These two brothers, Ab and Ed as they were called, only children of SE (Ed) and Aubin Fry Clarkson, actually knew a bit more about some of their mother’s family lines. This has led to exciting finds on Fry, Anderson, Bolling, Markham, Cole, Rolfe, Fleming, Champe, Slaughter, Walker, Micou, Hutchins, Brooks, Winthrop, Pintard, and even our honored bloodline to the Princess Pocahontas and her powerful father Powhatan! These families were early in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Virginia.
