who is Edmund cartwright?
Edmund Cartwright was a man born April 24, 1743, Marnham, Nottinghamshire, Eng.—died Oct. 30, 1823, Hastings, Sussex. He was also the inventor of the power loom.He probably would have spent his life as an obscure country clergyman had his attention not been turned to Sir Richard Arkwright’s cotton-spinning mills at Cromford, Derbyshire, which he saw on a visit in 1784. Inspired to construct a similar machine for weaving, this is what caused him to start inventing the power loom. Making lots of other inventions for example a cordelier (machine for making rope; 1792) and a steam engine that used alcohol instead of water.
