Infect, John Kay built a machine called the Flying Shuttle (1733) which allowed for more cloth to be woven more quickly and James Hargreaves that invented the Spinning Jenny (1764) which increased the output of thread. Another important element was iron in the whole industrial revolution, because it was a necessary material for the construction of the newly-designed machinery and for the future construction of the railway.
