Q119 (NDA-II/2023) History & Culture › Modern India (Pre-1857) Official Key

Which of the following statements about the technological innovations during the Industrial Revolutions are correct ? 1. Mule was the nickname for a machine invented in 1779, that allowed the spinning of strong and fine yarn. 2. Water Frame, invented in 1769 by Richard Arkwright, made it possible to weave pure cotton clothes. 3. Power loom, invented by Edmund Cartwright in 1787, could be used to weave any kind of materials. Select the correct answer using the code given below :

Explanation

All three statements regarding the technological breakthroughs of the Industrial Revolution are correct:

  • Statement 1: Samuel Crompton’s Spinning Mule (1779) hybridized the Spinning Jenny and the Water Frame. It produced yarn that was uniquely both strong and fine, allowing for the production of high-quality textiles like muslin.
  • Statement 2: Richard Arkwright’s Water Frame (1769) used water power to spin yarn. Its primary advantage was producing a thread strong enough to be used as warp, making it possible to weave pure cotton cloth for the first time, rather than the linen-cotton blends (fustian) used previously.
  • Statement 3: Edmund Cartwright’s Power Loom (1787) mechanized the weaving process. While early versions faced technical hurdles, the innovation was designed to weave various materials efficiently, eventually shifting textile production from cottage industries to large-scale factories.
