Heargreaves' spinning jenny

He invented a spinning wheel that allowed one spinner (hilandero) to work eight threads at a time.

Kay's flying shuttle

Arkwright's water frame

His machine used the waterpower from rapid streams to drive spinning

wheels. Crompton's spinning

mule

it could hold more than one ball of yarn, therefore making more clothing materials in a shorter amount of time

HISTORY OF CLASS STRUGGLES
