'How The Early Spinning Jenny Worked', c1934. Illustration showing the machine for spinning cotton, invented in 1764 by James Hargreaves. The accompanying text explains the mechanism. The multi-spindleÿframe reduced the amount of work needed to produceÿcloth (previously spun by hand), with a worker able to work eight or more spools at once. This increase in output was one of the key developments in theÿindustrialisationÿofÿweavingÿduring the earlyÿIndustrial Revolution and led to the factory system of production. From The Romance of the Nation, Volume Two, edited by Charles Ray. [The Amalgamated Press, Ltd., London, c1934]
