What was Richard Arkwright's invention?
Richard Arkwright had a couple inventions. His first invention was built with a partner, John Kay. The team built the very first water wheel. Eventually, they built a system that could spin four strings of cotton at once, instead of just one. Richard paid for a patent for the cotton spinner in 1769. Even further down the road, Kay and Arkwright built a system that could spin 96 strands of cotton at once! (Since this machine was so powerful, horses had become the employees.) Richard hooked up the water wheel and the cotton system to make a water-powered, famous, factory system.
