Richard Arkwright
Two almost simultaneous developmental directions took place
that resulted in the replacement of the household spinning
wheel. Richard Awkright (originally a barber and peruke maker)
developed a device that could spin yarn that was initially was
a "trapiche", powered by a single horse. Hence initially,
power was rated at ONE HP (one horse power).
