Eli Whitney had been fascinated with improving industrial processes from a very early age, and he eventually dedicated his life to improving the productivity of the American workforce. Some of his most notable inventions include:
After his cotton gin was pirated and his faith in patent system all but destroyed following over a decade of legal battles centered on this theft, Whitney never patented another invention. It is certain that he contributed many innovations to manufacturing since then, and he is generally well-remembered as a fair leader genuinely concerned about the productivity and well-being of the average worker. Indeed, some of his inventions helped create thousands of jobs in production where demand simply did not exist before.
Of course, as with all famous historical figures, there is a certain level of contention over exactly how successful Whitney was and how many idea attributed to him alone deserve to be credited to others, as well. But, that doesn't change the fact that he did contribute to the Industrial Age in many ways.
