1 giug 1733 anni - Flying Shuttle
- Invented in 1733
- Invented by John Kay
- This device enabled one
weaver to make a width
of cloth it had previously
taken two to make. It
would take 27 years before
the use of the flying shuttle
became widespread but
once it did, the looms now
wove the cloth so fast that
the spinners could not keep
up with the demand for thread.
