In 1784 Edmund Cartwright visited a factory owned by Richard Arkwright. Inspired by what he saw, he began working on a machine that would improve the speed and quality of weaving. Employing a blacksmith and a carpenter to help him, Cartwright managed to produce what he called a power loom. He took out a patent for his machine in 1785, but at this stage it performed poorly.
In 1787 Cartwright opened a weaving mill in Doncaster and two years later began using steam engines produced by James Watt and Matthew Boulton, to drive his looms. All operations that had been previously been done by the weaver's hands and feet, could now be performed mechanically. The main task of the weavers employed by Cartwright was repairing broken threads on the machine. Although these power looms were now performing well, Cartwright was a poor businessman and he eventually went bankrupt.
In 1802 William Horrocks, a Stockport cotton manufacturer, patented an improved power-loom. It featured a more effective way of winding the woven cloth onto a beam at the back of the loom. Over the next twenty years further improvements took place and by 1823 Richard Guest was able to claim that "a boy or girl aged fourteen or fifteen could manage two power-looms and could produce three and a half times as much as the best handloom weaver". By 1850 there were 250,000 cotton power-looms in Britain, of which nearly 177,000 were in Lancashire.

It helps making cloth for people

Edmund Cartwright designed the first power loom in 1784, but it wasn't first built until 1785. It wasn't made completely automatic until 47 years later when it was redesigned by Kenworthy and Bullough.

The power loom helped the Americans and the econmoy
Power-loom riots happened in 1826.
Power loom is a type of loom which is operated by power and the other side auto loom has so many automatic function,sensor and thus output of auto looms are more finer than Power loom.We can get less weaving defect in auto loom fabric.
Edmund Cartwright invented a power loom in 1785.
The power loom was a steam-powered, mechanically-operated version of a regular loom. A loom is a device that combined threads to make cloth.When the power loom became efficient, women replaced most men as weavers in the textile factories.
The weaving and spinning of the power loom eliminated the need for home labor.
The power loom led to other inventions such as the spinning jenny and the spinning mule.
The Power Loom was invented by Edmund Cartwright.

there is no difference actually. A cotton mill has many power looms. A power loom is a machine that weaves clothes and 15 to 20 power looms are present in a mill. In small scale mills, only 2-3 power looms or 12-13 hand looms (machine that weaves clothes by hand) are present. hand made cotton is of better quality but production is low.
