dec 31, 1785 - Power loom was invented

Description:

A power loom is a mechanized loom powered by a line shaft and was one of the key developments in the industrialization of weaving during the early Industrial Revolution. The first power loom was designed in 1784 by Edmund Cartwright and first built in 1785. It was refined over the next 47 years until a design by Kenworthy and Bullough made the operation completely automatic.
