Throughout the 1700s, inventors such as Richard

techniques that helped improve production, especially in
terms of the textile industry. For example, in 1733 John
Kay developed a wheel shuttle, later known as a flying
shuttle. The machine improved weaving efficiency and
reduced labour needs because it could be operated with
only one operator. James Hargreaves created the
spinning jenny in 1764, which allowed a machine with
many spindles of thread to be spun at one time.
