Flying Shuttle invented by John Kay in 1733.
This invention helped push the cotton industry into the modern world. It was a boat-shaped piece of wood that would have yarn attached to it as it sped back and forth. A weaver doing this by hand could only do half the work the flying shuttle could do in a day. This changed the world because it cut time in half, allowing workers to get things done faster and more efficiently. If this had not been invented we could still be stitching clothes by hand.
