English inventor and entrepreneur; Cartwright invented an operational power loom
Cartwright was a typical English practitioner. Inspired by the success of the spinning machine of Arkwright and the chess machine of Kempelen he made the invention of a power loom to his task. He succeeded in constructing a first imperfect model, which in the aftermath of other inventors (Radcliffe, Storrocks, Horrocks, Lowell) was continuously improved. He did not see the general dissemination and application of the power loom, which took place from 1820. Cartwright also dealt with steam engines, the combing of wool, the manufacture of ropes and non-combustible materials.
