	Edmund Cartwright - page 1
		HAD Edmund Cartwright thought for one moment of the hardship and misery he was about to unleash on a vulnerable section of society, he would never have sat down to invent the power loom.
		Cartwright (1743-1823) was a Church of England minister, with a clergyman's love for his fellow man, so he would have been mortified to watch the long, agonising death throes of the hand-loom weaving industry that his invention caused.
		Cartwright was marked down for the church and in 1772 he was appointed curate of Brampton, near Wakefield, moving, seven years later, to become vicar of Goadby Marwood in Leicestershire.

		Cartwright's parents were wealthy landowners in Marnham, and he and his four brothers were well educated; at least three of them would become well renowned in their chosen professions.
		Edmund's brother John Cartwright was a radical leader with England's parliamentary reform movement at the turn of the century, and his brother George was a trader and explorer of Labrador.
		Cartwright and some of his associates had earlier discussed the possibility that once Arkwright's patents on these frames expired, many mills using his technology were likely to spring up, and much more thread would be produced quickly than could realistically be spun into cloth by human weavers.
