PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The growth of industrial prosperity
Bessemer Converter Sheffield
Better iron led to steel, the Bessemer Process and eventually the mechanization of the textile industries, the development of iron-making techniques, and the increased use of refined coal.
Spinning mule
The development of all-metal machine tools in the first two decades of the 19th century facilitated the manufacture of more production machines for manufacturing in other industries.
Weaving with a flying shuttle
The invention of the flying shuttle by John Kay enabled wider cloth to be woven faster, but also created a demand for yarn that could not be fulfilled. Thus, the major technological advances associated with the Industrial Revolution were concerned with spinning.

Last steam powered cotton mill
Queen Street Mill, dating from the 1890s, is the only surviving site in the world where the original steam engine is still fired daily and works the original weaving looms in the mill.
My opinion
The one I thought made the most impact on the world. Is the flying shuttle because they made blankets and clothes many more things.
