Inventions Student Worksheet Inventions Student Worksheet Introduction: During the 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain witnessed unprecedented growth in its economy, and made the transition from a predominantly agricultural society to any increasingly factory-based one. The factors that fueled this “industrial Revolution” included Great Britain’s large pool of available labor, the ability to import large amounts of natural resources from its colonies, and perhaps most importantly, great innovators and inventors who created devices and techniques that made widespread industrial production possible.

Both the handloom and the power loom serve the same purpose; making cloth (textiles). 2. In what ways are the handloom and the power loom different? How can we tell? The handloom is constructed of wood and requires an individual to thread it and weave cloth properly. The power loom is constructed with metal and wood and does not require an individual to work it. The power loom produces more cloth than the handloom over a constant period of time. 3. How might the relationship between the handloom and the power loom be a metaphor for the changes brought about by the Industrial revolution? The industrial revolution brought about a transformation in the way goods were made—by hand verses by machine. After comparing and contrasting the handloom to the power loom read the following workers’ petition and the response from the clothing merchants. The 1786 Leeds Woolen Workers’ Petition http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1791machines.html Answer the following questions: 4. What is “Scribbling?” Scribbling refers to the process of weaving or making cloth. 5. Were the workers in favor of or against the use of machines in their industry? Why or why not? They were against it. The workers believed the machines were taking their livelihood away from them. They believed that once they once they learned how to use one machine another would arise to replace it. People who protested the industrial revolution were called the Luddites. 6. Why were the workers worried about their children? They worried about their children becoming idle (having nothing to do).

  • “Direct Pattern on Loom”-An Innovative Method of Garment Construction
    Science ile & xt Ukey et al., J Textile Sci Eng 2013, 3:2 e E T n f g i DOI: 10.4172/2165-8064.1000131 o n l e a e n r r i n u Journal of Textile Science & Engineering g o J ISSN: 2165-8064 Research Article OpeOpen nAccess Access “Direct Pattern on Loom”-An Innovative Method of Garment Construction Pravin Ukey*, P V Kadole and Sarika Borikar Department of Textiles (Fashion Technology) DKTE’s Textile & Engineering Institute, Ichalkaranji, (M.S) India Abstract The impact of the fast fashion phenomenon is seen both in apparel and textile manufactures since the manufacturing time of apparels is considered as the most potential factor in reducing the overall time of the fashion cycle. In addition to the need for reduction in lead time, there is an increase in levels of quality expectations, resulting in higher cost of manufacture. Hence, in the present scenario, for high fashion garments, there is a need for technology which can minimize lead time and fabric losses, in addition to the production of garments as per the requirement of the customers in a short span of time. A DPOL (Direct Pattern on Loom) method for weaving fabric in the shape of garment panels (pieces) finished at the edges that could considerably reduce fabric loss and lead time is developed by using the electronic jacquard weaving machine. The main aim of the project is to study the feasibility of the production of Direct pattern on Loom especially on jacquard and to check the lead time required with conventional and this modern method.

  • Make Your Own Cardboard Loom
    Make Your Own Cardboard Loom Overview Though hand weaving was not as prevalent in the 1830s as it had been in the late 18th century, there were still people in rural communities who practiced the art of weaving on a loom. Participants in this activity will make their own simple loom from cardboard and try out a weaving project! Background Wool comes from sheep. Sheep were sheared by hand with a pair of shears (they look like big scissors). Sturbridge farmers clipped between 7000 and 9000 pounds of wool in 1835! The wool was then picked and cleaned, carded, spun, and woven into cloth. OSV’s sheep are bred to resemble the types of sheep you might have seen in New England during the time period. Before the Industrial Revolution, all cloth was woven on a loom, operated by a person. At OSV, you can see costumed historians making fabric on a loom at the Fenno House. Supplies ● Piece of cardboard--it doesn’t matter how big your cardboard is. It can be a square or a rectangle, long or wide. ● Scissors ● Ruler ● Pencil ● Yarn for weaving ● String for warping ● Fork (optional) ● Blunt sewing needle OR popsicle stick/small piece of cardboard to act as a shuttle Directions 1. Lay your ruler along the top of the cardboard. Use your pencil to make marks every ¼”. You will also want your notches to be about ¼” deep, so you can draw a full line if it will help you make the cuts all the same length. 2. Repeat step 1 along the bottom of your cardboard.

  • Preparation of Papers in Two-Column Format
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 PIC Based Power Loom Automation Using IOT P.Balasubramani, R.Krishnaveni Abstract: In this paper, a novel method to automate shuttled power looms is proposed. Power loom is a mechanized loom, mainly meant for the purpose of weaving in textile industries. It considerably reduces human labor and wastage. Hence it helps to ensure high quality cloth production, monitoring and measurement. It provides automatic warp and weft error detection and automatic weft replenishment. This module uses PIC16F877A to provide the necessary automation of the shuttled power looms, with immediate termination of its motor operation in case of any weft or warp errors. Also the amount of woven cloth is ultimately displayed in LCD. Keywords: weft, warp, single and double pick, PIC16F877A Proximity sensor, Control switches, Phototransistor, error detection and indication, production monitoring. ———————————————————— I. INTRODUCTION II. EXISTING SYSTEM Power loom is a mechanized loom used for weaving yarns in The existing system for the automation of the power looms, textile industry. It uses a drive shaft for power and became a was established many years ago. This system, though, it has key development in industrialization of textile industry during many advantages, it suffers from serious drawbacks also. In early industrial revolution. Invented by Edmund Cartwright in this, IC 555 timer is used to control the entire automation of Great Britain, in 1784, power looms made the process of such a huge mechanized looms. In this system, IC 555 timer weaving and creating textiles much quicker than with the provides the necessary automation.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

  • Powerloom Clusters of India
    Powerloom Clusters of India West specially the Britain and later US had enjoyed supremacy in world textile and clothing trade for over two centuries but now the shift is taking place from the West (US and EU countries) to the East particularly China, India and Pakistan. This change has been necessitated in view of the implementation of free-trade policies in the world under WTO from 1st January, 2005. In the last eight years since 2000, cotton consumption in US, EU and Japan has been decreasing fast while it has been increasing very fast in China and South Asian countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Presently, China, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh share about 50 percent of US imports of cloth and textiles. China has lion share of over 35 percent while India and Pakistan share is small but better than other countries. India and Pakistan have great potential as both produce large cotton crops and can exploit their resources to increase their share in textile exports to US. In 2007, Pakistan was the second largest exporter of clothing and textiles to US. Small countries like Vietnam, Thailand and Sri Lanka are increasing their exports to US. This is the trend of increase of total US imports from south Asian countries which clearly shows shift of finished goods from the East to the West. Exports of textile and clothing from China, India, Pakistan and other small Asian countries is increasing substantially. Pakistan's exports of textile goods and cloth to EU was US $3.965 billions in 2004-05, US $4.108 billions in 2005-06, US $4.443 billions in 2006-07.

  • The Textile Machinery Collection at the American Textile History Museum a Historic Mechanical Engineering Heritage Collection
    THE TEXTILE MACHINERY COLLECTION AT THE AMERICAN TEXTILE HISTORY MUSEUM A HISTORIC MECHANICAL ENGINEERING HERITAGE COLLECTION Textiles are an important part of our everyday lives. They clothe and comfort us, protect our first-responders, Introduction filter the air in our automobiles, and form the core of the fuselage in our newest aircraft. We enjoy their bright colors, wrap up in their warmth, and seldom give a second thought to how they make bicycles stronger and lighter or how they might be used to repair our vital organs. As textiles have changed from the first simple twisted fibers to high-tech smart fabrics, the tools and machinery used to make them have evolved as well. Drop spindles and spinning wheels have given way to long lines of spinning frames. And looms now use puffs of air instead of the human hand to insert the weft thread in a growing length of fabric. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, textile manufacture was the catalyst for the Industrial Revolution in America. It was the leading edge in the transformation from an agricultural to a manufacturing economy and started the move of significant numbers of people from rural areas to urban centers. With industrialization came a change in the way people worked. No longer controlled by natural rhythms, the workday demanded a life governed by the factory bell. On the consumer side, industrialization transformed textiles from one of a person’s most valuable possessions to a product widely available at incredibly low prices. For more than a century, textile mills in Great Britain and the United States dominated textile production and led the industrial revolution in both Europe and North America.
