Answer 1

The Spinning Jenny, invented by James Hargreaves around 1765, revolutionized the cotton textile industry in England. It was a simple, hand-powered machine with six to twenty-four spindles mounted on a sliding carriage. Workers, mostly women, regulated the carriage with one hand and powered the machine with a crank. This innovation significantly increased yarn production efficiency. In contrast, Richard Arkwright's water frame, invented around the same time, employed a different principle and required more power, leading to larger-scale production with several hundred spindles.
