RM2E0609W–An old engraving of spinning machinery in a textile mill in the 1800s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. Here one man controls a very large piece of mechanised equipment. Textile mills producing cotton, linen, woollen and other types of fabrics began as early as the 1740s. The introduction of the flying shuttle by John Kay in 1733 and other mechanised devices accelerated production, leading to the development of textile factories or mills. As time went by, mills became larger and more advanced. In many cases, entire villages and towns were centred around mills.

RM2DF6X75–An old engraving of Arkwright’s water or spinning frame. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. The water frame is a spinning frame that is powered by a water-wheel. Richard Arkwright (1732–1792), who patented it in 1769, designed the machine for making cotton thread. It was first used in 1765 and was able to spin 96 threads at a time, far faster than ever before. In 1770 Arkwright and partners built a water-powered mill in Cromford, Derbyshire, England, UK. It soon employed over 300 people and is often regarded as the first factory of the Industrial Revolution.

RM2DF6X7B–An old engraving of a spinning jenny. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. The spinning jenny is a multi-spindle, thread-producing spinning frame, and was one of the key developments in the industrialisation of textile manufacturing during the early Industrial Revolution. It was invented in c. 1765 by James Hargreaves (c. 1720–1778) in Oswaldtwistle, near Blackburn, Lancashire, England, UK. Hargreaves spent some time improving John Kay’s flying shuttle, which had doubling weaving productivity. The spinning jenny increased productivity even more.
