  3. The Stocking Frame A stocking frame was a mechanical knitting machine used in the textiles industry. It was invented by William Lee of Calverton near Nottingham in 1589.

  4. The Punch Loom Amechanical loom, invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard, first demonstrated in 1801 simplifies the process of manufacturing textiles with complex patterns.

  5. Stereoscope A stereoscope is a device for viewing a stereoscopic pair of separate images, depicting left-eye and right-eye views of the same scene, as a single three-dimensional image. It was basically 3D

  6. Telegraph • Was invented in the 1830's • Samuel F. B. Morse is credited for the first practical telegraph • It works by sending pulses of current through a wire to a remote location • The creation of the telegraph created a lasting mark in history by revolutionizing modern communications.

  7. Steam Engine A heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. • Steam engines have been a major source of mechanical power since the late 1700's. • James Watt patented the continuous rotating motion. • Steam Engines drove methods of transportations into a whole new dimension of time.

  8. James Watt Was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer improvements he made to the Newcomen steam engine were fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both his native Great Britain and the rest of the world. He developed the concept of horsepower and the SI unit of power, the watt, was named after him.

  9. Joseph Paxton Was an English gardener, architect and Member of Parliament Best known for designing The Crystal Palace. Important architect of this period

  10. Spinning Jenny • A multi-spool spinning frame invented in 1764. • Was invented by James Hargreaves in Stanhill. • Was crucial to the textile industries during the industrial revolution

  11. Charles Wheatstone • English Physicist and inventor. • Contributor to many crucial inventions in several fields of science. • Best known for his invention of the electric telegraph • Coined the phrase microphone

  12. Air and Water Pollution • London was a main area affected by the whims of the Industrial Revolution. • London became notorious for its high air pollution concentrations. (Smog) • The amount of coal burned during the Industrial Revolution would later contribute to global warming. • As populations expanded the water quality was severely damaged. • The only reason the pollution was so high was because of the lack of knowledge that companies had acquired of filtration and storage techniques of hazardous wastes.

  13. London Underground Idea originated in the 1830s Granted permission to build in 1854 Opened in January 1863

  14. London Underground Total cost was £1 million $143,895,000 today Originally 3.75 miles

  15. Did it help people? 38,000 people used the train on the first day 9.5 million people rode in the first year 12 million people rode in the second year

  16. How it changed London Before it was all horse and buggy (modern day taxi) Lots of walking

  17. The Cars

  18. The Station Temple Wood

  19. Underground Today The trains travel a combined total of 43 million miles every year 2.7 million people use the tube every day

  20. Changes of the Industrial Revolution • Inventions began to bloom and machines replaced people in methods of production. • People began to work in factories not at their homes • The aristocrats were replaced by the capitalists. • Both Men and Women could vote. • The U.S. became more developed than Great Britain in terms of industrial means. • Socialism expanded throughout Great Britain and France. • Women in some ways were doing better.
