1 ene 1821 año - Lowell System invented

Descripción:

Invented by Francis Cabot Lowell in Massachusetts in the 19th century, the Lowell System was a labor production model designed so that the power loom and related machinery permitted the combination of all the steps in the production of cloth under a single roof. The work was also performed by young adult women instead of children or young men. This system was first used in the Waltham and Lowell textile mills during the industrial revolution, which is why it is sometimes called the Waltham-Lowell System. It was so successful that Lowell’s business associates, the Boston Associates, control of a fifth of America's cotton production by 1850, so they then expanded and opened numerous textile mills in Massachusetts using this model.
