[John Kay]

What did you do? I built a flying shuttle. My main contribution to the industrial revolution was the hand loom.

!
Why was this contribution so important? It saved labour, it didn't take as many people to build it. Without me, it wouldn't have been built because i received a patent for the device.
My new shuttles are also used in england to make all sorts of narrow woolen goods,although their use could haves been more perfect had the weavers consulted me.
