Eli Whitney fi rst developed this idea in 1801
This invention made it so that if a product part failed, another could be ordered without having to order a whole new product
Whitney fi rst used this idea with gun parts, but production was expensive and diffi cult
INTERCHANGEABLE PARTS

Samuel Homfray funded the development of a steam-powered vehicle that would replace the horse-drawn wagons or carts on the tramways
This development began in 1803
The vehicle was actually built by Richard Threvithick

The steamboat was invented by Robert Fulton in 1807
-Fulton made the Clermont, which was a vessel that he put a steam engine in.
- In 1807, the Clermont went up the Hudson River from New York City to Albany.
-The invention of the steamboat completely revolutionized America's waterways, and made travel ing and transporting goods much easier
-The invention also helped in opening the west and the south, and made the transport of manufactured necessities quicker and cheaper

Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in 1793, but it was not offi cially patented until 1807
Was used to clean cotton more effi ciently and quickly
Revolutionized industry because cotton could be produced more quickly and could become a more stable and useful crop for Americans, thus boosting the American economy.

Peter Durand fi rst patented the tin can in 1810
Brian Donkin and John Hall opened the fi rst tin can producing factory
Early cans were sealed with lead which ultimately lead to lead poisoning
This revolutionized the food industry because it helped to preserve the food so it would not go to waste

Invented by Cyrus McCormick in 1831
The reaper cut, threshed, and bundled grain.
Was pulled through the field by horses
Increased grain production in America; farmers could produce 10 acres of grain a day as opposed to the previous 2 or 3
THE REAPER

Thomas Davenport invented the fi rst electric motor in 1834 and a small electric railway in 1835
This demonstrated technological advances in America
This invention was diff erent because it was powered by an electric motor, versus one that runs on gasoline

-The steel plow was invented by John Deere
-It was invented in 1837 -The original wooden
plows that were brought over to Il l inois would not work on the thick Midwestern soil, as they were easily broken.
-In 1837, Deere made a steel plow that could get through the thick soil
-This invention made farming in the Midwest possible, and Deere went into the business of manufacturing plows.

- Invented by Samuel F. B. Morse in 1844
-The telegraph was a new form of communication that used pulses of electricity to transmit information over wires
-Morse recieved $30,000 from Congress to fund his experiment
-Alongside the telegraph Morse Code was invented, which was a series of dots and dashes that represented letters in the alphabet.
- In 1844, Morse sent the message "What hath God wrought?" from Washington to Baltimore.
-The telegraph revolutionized communication, and by 1854, there were 23,000 miles of telegraph wire in use.

Invented by Elias Howe in 1846
New machine out stitched fi ve hand-sewers and was known for its speed
Made producing clothing quicker and increased clothing production in America
At fi rst, the idea didn’t catch on, then Howe struggled with imitators trying to steal his idea
