Question

The mechanical loom was powered by a horse or a waterwheel. Who invented it?
a. Richard Arkwright
b. John Kay
c. Edmund Cartwright
d. James Hargreaves

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Edmund Cartwright! (1743-1823, an English inventor)

He patented it in 1785 - it used water instead of human power, which made waving a lot faster.

James Hargreaves invented  spinning jenny- another machine that helped in weaving. 

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure it's C. Edmund Cartwright. Hope this helps!
