Download or read book Who Really Invented the Cotton Gin written by Wesley Buchele and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Revolutionary War, Americans quickly began to establish their own industries, eager to move on from the embargos placed on them during British rule. One agricultural industry that flourished was the growing and ginning of cotton, its success largely coming from the invention of the cotton gin. Most Americans believe that Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. Southern folklore tells a different story-that a young blacksmith from South Carolina, Henry Ogden Holmes, patented the first practical cotton gin. It was a continuous-flow rip-saw-toothed gin, much more efficient than Whitney's first gin. Who Really Invented the Cotton Gin? delves into the history and folklore surrounding the first cotton gins. Iowa State University Professor Emeritus Wesley F. Buchele, who taught farm machinery design for forty-three years, and William D. Mayfield, a longtime expert in cotton ginning technology, use their technical and investigative expertise to share what made Holmes' and Whitney's gins different, who came up with what design first and patented it, and who really did invent the first practical cotton gin. This book is a fascinating look at the history behind one of agriculture's most significant innovations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His first job was in a cotton gin at the age of nine. Today as an octogenarian, A. L. Vandergriff continues his life-long commitment to advancing the technology of the industry he loves. Considered by some to be the seminal figure in designing gin plants to handle machine-picked cotton, Vandergriff is widely known for his many important contributions to the cotton ginning industry. All contemporary high-capacity gin plants have been influenced by his innovative designs. Vandergriff describes in detail the various modifications that he has made to improve different components of the gin stand. He also discusses some of the contributions made by others either independently or as modifications of his research. The current phase of his research culminated with the development of the 198 saw gin, the first twenty-bale-per-hour gin stand.
