Edmund Cartwright built and patented a power loom in 1785, and it was this that was adopted by the nascent cotton industry in England.
The power loom was a steam-powered, mechanically operated version of a regular loom, an invention that combined threads to make cloth. In 1785, Edmund Cartwright patented the first power loom and set up a factory in Doncaster, England to manufacture cloth. A prolific inventor, Edmund Cartwright also invented a wool-combing machine in 1789, continued to improve his power loom, invented a steam engine that used alcohol and a machine for making rope in 1797, and aided Robert Fulton with his steamboats. Cartwright's power loom needed to be improved upon and several inventors did just that. It was improved upon by William Horrocks, the inventor of the variable speed batton (1813) and American, Francis Cabot Lowell. The power loom became commonly used after 1820.
Edmund Cartwright was a British inventor known for patenting a power loom in 1785 that revolutionized the textile industry. He did not receive any special awards, but he was granted a knighthood in 1814 for his contributions to the industry.
