•
•
•
•
•
•
Iron
Coal
Transportation
Textiles
Chemicals
Food Processing
IRON
• First industry to benefit
• Previously the scale of production was small
• Process demanded the constant heating and cooling of iron=
time consuming and skilled
• Steam engine= practical way to keep ovens constantly heated
COAL
• Was the source of energy for the steam engines and ovens for
iron production
• Wood was the previous energy source, but was becoming scarce
• Wood was used for building ships, buildings, furniture, and heat
TRANSPORTATION
•
•
Important for diffusing the I.R.
Canals, railroads,
• Enabled factories to bring in heavy raw materials and ship out finished
goods
TEXTILES
•
Transportation from a spread out cotton industry to a concentrated factory system
•
Buildings resembled large watermills= mills
•
New invention of machines
• Machines to untangle cotton prior to spinning
CHEMICALS
•
An industry to bleach and dye cloth
FOOD PROCESSING
•
Essential to feed factory workers no longer living on farms
