Sir Richard Arkwright (23 December 1732 – 3 August 1792), was an Englishman who, although the patents were eventually overturned, is often credited with inventing the spinning frame, later renamed the water frame following the transition to water power. He also patented a carding engine that could convert raw cotton into yarn. A self-made man, he was a leading entrepreneur of the Industrial Revolution. Arkwright's achievement was to combine power, machinery, semi-skilled labour and a new raw material (cotton) to create, more than a century before Ford, mass produced yarn. His skills of organization made him, more than anyone else, the creator of the modern factory system, especially in his mill at Cromford.
