Richard Arkwright patented the water-frame, also known as the spinning frame in 1769. In 1771 Arkwright, Jedediah Strutt and Samuel Need built the world's first water-powered mill at Cromford, which had water power and skilled labor. Arkwright spent £12,000 perfecting his machine which contained the 'crank and comb' for removing the cotton web off carding engines.
