Britischer Textilindustrieller und Erfinder zahlreicher Patente im Bereich des Spinnmaschinenbaus; Arkwright gilt als Begründer der Textilgroßindustrie
Sir Richard Arkwright, was an Englishman who, although the patents were eventually overturned, is often credited with inventing the spinning frame, later renamed the water frame following the transition to water power. He also patented a carding engine that could convert raw cotton into yarn. A self-made man, he was a leading entrepreneur of the Industrial Revolution. Arkwright's achievement was to combine power, machinery, semi-skilled labour and a new raw material (cotton) to create, more than a century before Ford, mass-produced yarn. His skills of organization made him, more than anyone else, th ecreator of the modern factory system, especially in his mill at Cromford.
