1. _______________________ was one of the key developments in the
industrialization of weaving. It allowed a single weaver to weave much wider
fabrics, and it could be mechanized, allowing for automatic machine looms.
2. It was patented by _________________ (1704–c. 1779) in 1733.
3. ______________________is a machine used to spin cotton and other fibers in
the mills.
4. _______________________ invented the spinning mule or mule jenny in 1779.
5. The spinning mule spins textile fibers into yarn by an intermittent process.
6. ______________________________is a multi-spindle spinning frame
7. It was invented in 1764 by ________________________
8. The device reduced the amount of work needed to produce yarn, with a worker
able to work ___________________ or more spools at once.
9. This grew to ___________________ as technology advanced.
10. _____________________________a machine that automated the separation of
cottonseed from the short-staple cotton fiber.
11. _______________________ was the inventor of the cotton gin and a pioneer in
the mass production of cotton.
12. Prior to his invention, farming cotton required hundreds of man-hours to separate
the cottonseed from the raw cotton fibers.
13. _____________________________ was an American inventor and sewing
machine pioneer.
14. Contrary to popular belief, Howe was not the first to conceive of the idea of a
sewing machine. Many other people had formulated the idea of such a machine
before him, one as early as 1790.
15. Howe originated significant refinements to the design concepts of his
predecessors, and on September 10, 1846, he was awarded the first United
States patent (U.S. Patent 4,750) for a sewing machine using a lockstitch design.
16. His machine contained the three essential features common to most modern
