Flying shuttle Have you guys ever been doing something that felt like it was taking forever? Don't you wish that there was a way that you could finish whatever you doing faster? Like when you're doing a project, wouldn't you want to just put everything together in a couple of minutes instead couple of hours. Things would be easier right... we would stress less about not having enough time to do whatever we're doing . Well John Kay thought the same thing when he came up with invention of the flying shuttle. According to the name you'd think it'd be some type of plane, train, or even a ship, but no the flying shuttle isn't what you thought it was. It's made to weave much wider fabrics in a shorter amount of time then it usually took. He wanted there to be a faster way to weave a lot of wider fabrics quicker instead of it taking a long time, this invention sped up the process of it …show more content…
Let’s get started talking more about my friend John Kay here. He was born on June 17th in 1704, his father and mother were Robert & Ellin Kay. Sadly John’s father died before he was even born so the park house was left to the oldest sibling. To be honest that sounds terrible but it shows that a single parent can be independent and strong on their own, I mean Ellin did it and also women today. As long as you stay strong you can be independent. Okay so the flying shuttle greatly speeded up the process of weaving. This made cloth that had more width than it had before. While someone was using the flying shuttle just needed one operated for it to work. But that was after John Kay did a couple of improvements before it needed one person for it to be usable. Before it was named the flying shuttle it was called the “wheeled shuttle”, other people called it the the “fly-shuttle” because of the speed it had. The flying shuttle was made of a reed structure, wires and dents, wooden ribs, and also tarred cord. In about July 1733 John kay teamed up with Essex Colchester to officially
In 1733, James Kay, a clockmaker, invented a simple weaving machine called the flying shuttle(Doc6). He built it, supposedly, with nothing more than a pocketknife and his tool. The flying shuttle improved on the old hand loom. The machine only came into general use in the 1760s- after decades of trial- and-error improvements.
Kay Redfield Jamison was born on June 22, 1946 in the United States of America. She received her Bachelors and Masters in the University of California, also known as UCLA. After accomplishing these goals, she set out to acquire her Ph.D., which she did, also at UCLA in the year 1975. UCLA is significant for a number of reasons. Upon completing her degrees, she began to work there as an assistant professor and then rose to the rank of associate professor. Though she was an associate professor of psychiatry in 1981, she made a significant impact by establishing the Affective Disorders Clinic at her alma mater in the year of ’77. Her experience as an associate professor in psychiatry helped her gain a significant position at John Hopkins

Throughout history, there are moments that become pivotal points for major outcomes. The capturing and hanging of John Andre was one of these pivotal moments. A British Major who spied on the Americans and tried to close off the New England from the rest of the colonies, Andre was a man willing to do anything for his country.
“Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end,” said Robin Sharman. Advancements and progress that came from innovational minds took time and there were many obstacles and hardships. During the 1900s the world gave birth of the bright minds of the Wright Brothers that gave the world’s first successful airplane, also the modifications of the corset gave way to new fashion styles and trends and finally the tragic Galveston Hurricane paved the pathway of new mechanics and progressive ideas. Before, the thought of people being in the air and flying seemed impossible and dangerous, but the 1900s was a decade of advancement and many innovative minds such as Orville and Wilbur Wright, tried to build a “flying machine”. Unlike
Over 100 years ago, when humanity looked for new places to conquer, two men looked to the skies. Wilbur and Orville Wright built the first working motor airplane, and after that day, the world took a huge interest in aviation, causing many leading pioneers and innovators in the aerospace field to emerge, revolutionizing the way we look at the skies.
“I feel that I have been convicted of violating an unjust statute. I will continue in the future, as I have in the past, to oppose this law in any way I can. Any other action would be in violation of my ideal of academic freedom—that is, to teach the truth as guaranteed in our Constitution of personal and religious freedom. I think the fine is unjust.” John T. Scopes. The state of Tennessee had beaten the defendant and had shown that they, no matter how good a trial, will not be bested when it came to the Butler Act. Scopes should’ve won the trial, except some limiting factors that made it virtually impossible for him to win was towards the end of the trial when all of his key witnesses had been struck from the record and could not be used to influence the final verdict, by the time the trial had started he already had a target on his back and he had already lost in the eyes of the country and how they treated the case as a publicity stunt and not the importance they needed to. This changed the view of people and the school’s.
One of the most remarkable stories is the one of John Norman. He was a deputy chief of the New York City fire department. He was asleep whenever the first tower of the World Trade Center was hit. He had turned off the ringer on his phone because he was on vacation from work. His plan that day was to sleep in. He was completely unaware of what was going on outside. Then his answering machine got an "all call" message from the department. Still he didn't know what fully was going on so he turned on the television. He said, “As I’m just about to turn off the TV and head for the door, the south tower collapses. I thought it was a bomb." It took him and hour and a half just to get to the city and where he needed to be. He was put in shock whenever
John G. haigh was born in stamford on July 24 1999. Him and his family moved to Outwood, West Yorkshire, this is where he spent 24 years there. His family was super religious and that is all he knew was religion. His family belonged to a religion known as the plymouth brethren. His father was determined to keep what he called “sin” out of his son’s life, by this he built a fence around the house and little John couldn’t leave. It was to the point that the only friends he had were the neighborhood pets that he took care of and very few pets his family owned. The only source of fun was the bible stories that he grew up nothing else, not even sports where allowed in the household. Haigh claimed later on that his childhood was very lonely.
John Andre was born in London, England on May 2, 1750 to Antione Huguenot and Marie Louise Huguenot. Marie Louise was born in Paris, France and came to England at a young age. Antione was born in Geneva, Switzerland and was a merchant
One of the most important inventor during the years 1700’s was John Kay. John Kay was a british inventor that was born on June 17, 1704 near Bury, Lancashire, United Kingdom. He left school at the age 14. When he was little he was in charge of his father mill. He later moved to France to invent the flying shuttle. This genius inventor made the process of the weaving machine more effective by inventing this simple invention called the “flying shuttle” There were many effects with John kay invention during the Industrial revolution. The sixth sources states, “Which was an important step toward automatic weaving.” As an engineer. He invented this device called the flying shuttle. This was an improvement of loom. It is a small device put on loom
Let us not forget a huge transportation invention that came during the 19th century, the airplane. The airplane was invented by Orville and Wilbur Wright on December of 1903. The founders were also brothers, and they invented the first successful object which a machine carried a man rose by its own power. It had speed, descended without damage and flew naturally. As time passed the
The world was changed on December 17, 1903 when Orville Wright flew the first airplane for a period of 12 seconds. Orville, born in 1871 and his brother Wilbur, born in 1867 grew up in Dayton Ohio with two other brothers, Reuchlin and Lorin and one sister Katherine. They grew up in a loving family, which helped the brothers with the success in their future. Many people are not aware that much of their knowledge that went into the makings of the airplane came from their mother Susan and the bicycle repair shop they owned. Interestingly, Wilbur and Orville were not the men who first thought of flying. In the 16th century, Leonardo de Vinci had thoughts of a “flying machine” that was ahead its time, though
Dalton was the son of a Quaker weaver. When only 12 he took charge of
Some of the most important advancements came in the production of cotton, where several inventions stood out: John Kay's flying shuttle of 1733, which greatly increased weaving speed; James Hargreaves spinning jenny, which made possible the automatic production of thread; Richard Arkwright’s water frame; and Edmund Cartwright’s machine loom. It was the textile industry that pioneered the Industrial Revolution and its innovators encouraged others to continue the technological advancements that made Britain's economy flourish.
