The Spinning Jenny

The spinning jenny was invented by James Hargreaves in 1764.  This invention was made in order to help the weavers keep pace because it had a hand-powered mechanism that could spin multiple strands at the same time.  It was an updated version of the spinning wheel.  This invention changed the world by being an older model of what we use today which is automatic machinery.
