The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He is credited as the driving force behind the development of the spinning frame, known as the water frame after it was adapted to use water power, and he patented a rotary carding engine to convert raw cotton to 'cotton lap' prior to spinning.
- He was the first to develop factories housing both mechanised carding and spinning operations.
- Arkwright's achievement was to combine power, machinery, semi-skilled labour and the new raw material of cotton to create mass-produced yarn.
