Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option [3] i.e James Hargreaves
- Spinning Jenny – Devised by James Hargreaves in 1764, this machine speeded up the spinning process and reduced labor demand.
- By turning one single wheel a worker could set in motion a number of spindles and spin several threads at the same time. The fear of unemployment made workers hostile to the introduction of new technology.
- When the Spinning Jenny was introduced in the woolen industry, women who survived on hand spinning began attacking the new machines. This conflict over the introduction of the jenny continued for a long time.
