What is shuttle? The role and significance of the space shuttle.

Before Jenny loom appeared, Britain had a tool to improve weaving efficiency, that is, shuttle. Although the shuttle is not a strict machine like Jenny's loom, it has made some contributions to the British industrial revolution. Its appearance improved the warp stopping efficiency and promoted the invention of Jenny loom.

1733, the British watchmaker john kay invented the flying shuttle. Flying shuttle is actually a kind of shuttle with small wheels in the chute, and springs are installed at both ends of the chute, so that the shuttle can shuttle back and forth very quickly.

What's this shuttle for? The woven cloth surface can be greatly widened. In the past, two people had to cooperate with ordinary shuttle. Now with the shuttle, one can finish weaving and weave a wider cloth than before. Therefore, the invention of the shuttle makes the weaving speed faster. The weaving efficiency is greatly improved, which leads to the shortage of cotton yarn, so people urgently demand to invent a machine to improve the spinning speed and provide more cotton yarn.

Until 1765, textile worker Hargreaves invented "Jenny Spinning Machine", which opened the curtain of industrial revolution.
