The innovations in the 1700s gave an increase in productivity. 

Textile production:
Jenny - Spinning Machine (An individual  could produce multiple spools of threads simultanously) (1764)

Power Loom - Used water as power instead of human power (Spinning Mule - Merged the machine with Jenny. The process was speaded up) (1780s)

Iron Industry:
Use of Cokefueled furnace - Faster and cheaper way to mass-produce iron (compared to charcoal-fired production), which also gave an increase in the production of tools. (1850s)

Engines:
Steam engine - Used to pump water out of mines. (1712)

Steam engine  improved - Went on to power machinery, locomotives and ships. (1770s)]]> 2016-02-10 08:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tkr2/64idvxco94vi/wish/94250127 tkr2 https://padlet.com/tkr2/64idvxco94vi/wish/94250180 Harry, Lasse, Louise, Samantha
