Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labor and Laborers of the Loom: Mechanization and Handloom Weavers 1780-1840 develops several themes important to understanding the social, cultural and economic implications of industrialization. The examination of these issues within a population of extra-factory workers distinguishes this study. The volume centers on the rapid growth of handloom weaving in response to the introduction of water powered spinning. This change is viewed from the perspectives of mechanics, technological limitations, characteristics of weaving, skills, income and cost. In the works of Duncan Bythell and Norman Murray the displacement of British and Scottish hand weavers loomed large and the silence of American handloom weavers in similar circumstances was deafening. This study reflects the differences between the three culture by centering not on displacement but on survival. Persistence is closely tied to the gradual nature of technological change. The contrasts between independent commercial artisans and outwork weavers are striking. Displacement occurs but only among artisans devoting their time to independent workshop weaving. Alternatively outwork weavers adapted to changing markets and survived. The design and development of spinning and weaving device is stressed, as are the roles of economic conditions, management organization, size of firms, political implications and social factors contribute to the impact of technological change on outwork and craft weavers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Harriet Robinson (1825-1911), born Harriet Jane Hanson in Boston, offers a first person account of her life as a factory girl in Lowell, Massachusetts in this 1898 work. Robinson moved with her widowed mother and three siblings to Lowell as the cotton industry was booming, and began working as a bobbin duffer at the age of ten for $2 a week. Her reflections of the life, some 60 years later, are unfailingly upbeat. She was educated, in public school, by private lesson, and in church. The community was tightly knit. She also had the opportunity to write poetry and prose for the factory girls' literary magazine The Lowell Offering. When mill girls returned to their rural family homes, she says, "...instead of being looked down upon as 'factory girls, ' they were more often welcomed as coming from the metropolis, bringing new fashions, new books, and new ideas with them."

Download or read book Life As a Child Laborer During the Industrial Revolution written by Andrew Coddington and published by Cavendish Square Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1700s and 1800s, many new inventions were being created. This brought the rise of the Industrial Revolution in England and Europe, and eventually, in the 1900s, in America. The Industrial Revolution of the United States saw new factories being built. This was an opportunity for businesses to expand. To do so, factories and mines needed new workers. Children were the cheapest laborers business owners could get. They often had to work long hours performing difficult jobs. This book explores what life was like for a child laborer during this time. It examines how children survived such harsh environments and how policies on child labor changed over time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor-Saving Looms: A Brief Treatise on Plain Weaving and the Recent Improvements in That Line, With Special Reference to the Northrop Looms In our complete catalogue, Textile Texts, - which does not, however, give a full detail of our loom department - we de tail our own history at some length. For the benefit of those mainly interested in our loom and not perhaps acquainted with our former lines, it may be well to say that our business started with the invention of the self-acting loom temple by Ira Draper, in 1816, although the Drapers had been connected with the cloth industry ever since the name of Draper itself was originally chosen, or given. For over fifty years the business of the sons of Ira Draper and their associates, was largely confined to loom improvements, such as Patent temples, let-offs, shut tle guides, etc. The important spinning improvements of Car roll, Sawyer, Doyle, Rabbeth, and others, changed the main line of effort for a long period, the predecessors of Draper Com pany being primarily responsible for the introduction of high speed spinning. Although looms are now our main product, we still con tinue the largest manufacturers of many other lines of cotton machinery. We sell spindles, spinning rings, separators and lever screws for spinning frames. \ve sell loom temples for all makes of loom, a complete line of twisters, warpers, balling ma chines, spoolers and reels. We make chain warpers, and intro duce a special dyeing process. We manufacture bobbins for Northrop looms, apply filling changers and warp-stop-motions to certain other makes of loom; also shuttle-guards and thin-place preventers. \ve apply stop-motions to twisters of other makes, and sell bobbin-holders and spooler guides for spoolers of others' manufacture. We sell a new patent slasher comb, a patent dryer feed, oil cans, belt-hole guards, cotton-bale shears, etc. Send for our complete catalogue if interested in these lines.
