how thus came the steamer

The most important invention that sparked the industrial revolution was the improvement of the loom. John Kay, who worked as a Weaver and then as a mechanic, invented the Shuttle for the loom in 1733. This made it possible to produce fabrics of a wide size, the productivity of labor was doubled, that is, the work of two weavers began one.
 
With the acceleration of fabric production, there was a shortage of yarn. The spinning process needed improvement; a technological breakthrough was made by the Weaver and carpenter James Hargreaves. Jenny's spinning wheel, which he created, was a mechanism for pulling and twisting the thread at the same time. The performance of the spinner increases by 18-20 times. In 1784, Edmund Cartwright invented a fundamentally new loom that increased productivity by 40 times.
 
foreign construction led to an increase in demand for metal, in turn, gave a powerful impetus to the development of metallurgy. During the XVIII century. was solved the problem of mass production of iron, and subsequently iron based on coal. Due to this, coal mining has become one of the main sectors of the economy.
 
The invention of the steam engine made and improved transportation. The locomotive was put on wheels and after unsuccessful attempts to move the sidewalk was put on the railway track. The first successful steam locomotive, moving at a speed of 10 km per hour and had 8 cars, was created in 1814 by a self-taught engineer George Stevenson. Mass railway construction began in the 20s of the XIX century. The American mechanic Robert Fulton installed a steam engine on the ship; thus the steamship appeared.
