How do cotton picking machines work?

The basic principal of the cotton picker has remained unchanged from the days it was pulled by horses. The picker has a drum mounted vertically that has rows of spindles. The spindles have gear teeth on the base and are pointed with tiny teeth. The drum rotates the Spindles around from front to back, while the spindles are rotated on their axis. The Spindles have small teeth that grab the cotton as they rotate to the front of the drum. When the drum rotates to the aft position, the Spindles are rotated in opposite direction and the cotton is brushed off of them, falling into a bin.


Which describes the connection between a mechanical loom and a cotton gin?

The mechanical loom and cotton gin are both pivotal inventions in the textile industry that revolutionized fabric production. The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, efficiently separated cotton fibers from seeds, vastly increasing cotton supply. In contrast, the mechanical loom, which automates the weaving process, allows for faster and more efficient creation of textiles. Together, these inventions significantly enhanced the productivity and scalability of textile manufacturing during the Industrial Revolution.
