Durning the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, Samuel Slater, a British man, stole the idea of the textile mill from the Brits. This was called Industrial Esponauge, or Industrial Spying, because the Brits did not want anyone stealing their secret, for they were making a ton of money off of it. Samuel Slater being the bright guy that he is, memorized the ENTIRE machine. How to put it together, everything and told the Americans how to build it. Pretty smart, eh?
Additionally, Samuel Slater built the first textile mill in the United States in 1790. The mill was built in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. And yes there is some controversy as to how Slater was able to design the mill. Whether it was memory or industrial espionage, history will never know.
