DESIGN 2750 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Newcomen Atmospheric Engine, United Automobile Workers, Rainhill Trials
Document Summary
The ir took about 100 years of change. By the time industrialization hit the soviet union, it only took about 10 years. Before the ir, like by 1750, 75% of the population in great britain was still involved in food production. In britain, one of the rst industries affected was the textile stuff. Enclosure movement was when common agricultural land was enclosed into individual plots. This means that land ownership is then put into fewer and fewer hands. Population increase because of the greater availability of food (more crops per plot of land) The way people farmed hardly changed from the year 1000 to the year 1700, then all the sudden they tried steam thrashing. John kay invented the y shuttle, which weaved cloth and was able to do the work of two people. Machines displacing human labor is a common theme in the ir. The roller spinner was made by louis paul (made spinning thread easier)
