ARTICLES RELATED TO Industrial Revolution - Innovations | | | |  Industrial Revolution - Innovations: Encyclopedia II - Industrial Revolution - InnovationsThe invention of the steam engine was the most important innovation of the industrial revolution. This was made possible by earlier improvements in iron smelting and metal working based on the use of coke rather than charcoal. Earlier in the 18th century the textile industry had harnessed water power to drive improved spinning machines (see spinning jenny) and looms (see flying shuttle). These textile mills became the model for the organisation of human labour in factories.

| | | | Industrial Revolution - Innovations: Encyclopedia II - Industrial Revolution - Causes The causes of the Industrial Revolution were complex and remain a topic for debate, with some historians seeing the Revolution as an outgrowth of social and institutional changes wrought by the end of feudalism in Great Britain after the English Civil War in the 17th century. The Enclosure movement and the British Agricultural Revolution made food production more efficient and less labour-intensive, forcing the surplus population who could no longer find employment in agriculture into cottage industry, such as weaving, and in the longer term ...

| | | | Industrial Revolution - Innovations: Encyclopedia II - Industrial Revolution - Effects The application of steam power to the industrial processes of printing supported a massive expansion of newspaper and popular book publishing, which reinforced rising literacy and demands for mass political participation. Universal white male suffrage was adopted in the United States, resulting in the election of the popular Andrew Jackson in 1828 and the creation of political parties organised for mass participation in elections. In the United Kingdom, the Reform Act 1832 addressed the concentration of population in districts with almost no ...

Industrial Revolution - Capitalist.
The advent of The Enlightenment provided an intellectual framework which welcomed the practical application of the growing body of scientific knowledge — a factor evidenced in the systematic development of the steam engine, guided by scientific analysis, and the development of the political and sociological analyses, culminating in Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations.

Industrial Revolution - Marxism.
See main article Marxism
Karl Marx saw the industrialization process as the logical dialectical progression of feudal economic modes, necessary for the full development of capitalism, which he saw as in itself a necessary precursor to the development of socialism and eventually communism. According to Marx, industrialization engenders the polarization of societies into two classes, the bourgeoisie — those who own the means of production, i.e. the factories and the ...

| | | | Industrial Revolution - Innovations: Encyclopedia II - Industrial Revolution - The Second Industrial Revolution The insatiable demand of the railroads for more durable rail led to the development of the means to cheaply mass-produce steel. Steel is often cited as the first of several new areas for industrial mass-production, which are said to characterize a "Second Industrial Revolution", beginning around 1850. This "second" Industrial Revolution gradually grew to include the chemical industries, petroleum refining and distribution, electrical industries, and, in the twentieth cen ...

Industrial Revolution - Child labour.
Child labour existed before the Industrial Revolution, and in fact dates back to prehistoric times, but during the Industrial Revolution it grew far more abusive than ever before.[1] Politicians tried to limit child labour by law. Factory owners resisted -- they felt that they were aidin ...

The steam engine, invented by Thomas Newcoman, was first used for draining mines or for driving mills by pumping water back to a reservoir that had ...

| | | | Industrial Revolution - Innovations: Encyclopedia II - Industrial Revolution - Factories Industrialisation also led to the creation of the factory. John Lombe's water-powered silk mill at Derby was operational by 1721. In 1746 an integrated brass mill was working at Warmley near Bristol. Raw material went in at one end, was smelted into brass, and was turned into pans, pins, wire, and other goods. Housing was provided for workers on-site.
Josiah Wedgwood and Matthew Boulton were other prominent early industrialists.
The factory system was largely responsible for the rise of the modern city, as workers migrated into ...

| | | | Industrial Revolution - Innovations: Encyclopedia II - Industrial Revolution - Machine tools The Industrial Revolution could not have developed without machine tools, for they enabled manufacturing machines to be made. They have their origins in the tools developed in the 18th century by makers of clocks and watches, and scientific instrument makers to enable them to batch-produce small mechanisms. The mechanical parts of early textile machines were sometimes called 'clock work' due to the metal spindles and gears they incorporated. The manufacture of textile machines drew craftsmen from these trades and is the origin of the modern engineering industry. Machine makers ear ...

| | | | Industrial Revolution - Innovations: Encyclopedia II - Industrial Revolution - Textile manufacture In the early 18th century, British textile manufacture was based on wool which was processed by individual artisans, doing the spinning and weaving on their own premises. This system is called a cottage industry. Flax and cotton were also used for fine materials, but the processing was difficult because of the pre-processing needed, and thus goods in these materials made only a small proportion of the output.
Use of the spinning wheel and hand loom restricted the production capacity of the industry, but a number of incremental advance ...

| | | | Industrial Revolution - Innovations: Encyclopedia II - Industrial Revolution - Metallurgy In the early 18th century, small-scale iron working and extraction and processing of other metals were carried out where local resources permitted. Fuel was primarily wood in the form of charcoal, but consumption was starting to be constrained by lack of available timber. At the same time, demand for high-quality iron was dramatically increasing to keep pace with the improvements in military technology and the involvement of Britain in numerous European wars.

Railways or waggon ways were used for conveying coal to rivers for further shipment, and canals were beginning to be cut for moving goods between larger towns and cities.
During the Industrial Revolution, these different methods were improv ...
