	Flying shuttle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The flying shuttle was developed by John Kay in 1733, and was one of the key developments in weaving that helped fuel the Industrial Revolution.
		When weaving on a loom, the shuttle carries the yarn that forms the weft through the fibres of the warp.
		The flying shuttle enabled the weaver to propel the shuttle through a wider strip of cloth with a single hand, and allowed the other hand to perform the combing to compact the cloth.

	John Kay (flying shuttle) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Kay (June 17, 1704 – 1780) was the inventor of the flying shuttle, which was a key contribution to the Industrial Revolution.
		The flying shuttle greatly accelerated the speed at which weaving could be performed by allowing the shuttle carrying the weft to be passed through the warp threads more quickly and over a greater width of cloth.
		The production of cotton yarn was generally insufficient to keep up with the demand for hand-loom weavers, so his invention was not appreciated by weavers who thought it would steal their jobs; consequently he was persecuted and his constructions were damaged or destroyed.

	Inventors - John Kay
		The shuttle was flung from side to side mechanically, from spring-loaded boxes placed either side of the loom, using what he termed a fly cord and a picking stick.
		Now, using the flying shuttle, a good operative needed up to 16 spinners to keep him occupied and, consequently, he was forced to spend much time tramping his district trying to buy thread, and was often idle for long periods.
		Inventor of the flying shuttle - but in fact, this picture may be of his son, who was also an inventor.

		Before the invention of the flying shuttle by John Kay in 1733, it was only possible for cloth to be woven up to a maximum of the width of a man's body, across his arms.
		The flying shuttle also allowed the thread to be woven at a faster rate, thus enabling the process of weaving to become faster.
		The weaver operated the shuttle by pulling a cord attached to the driver.

	Flying Shuttle
		In 1733 John Kay patented his flying shuttle that dramatically increased the speed of this process.
		The old mode was, to throw the shuttle with the hand, which required a constant extension of the hands to each side of the warp.
		The shuttle thus impelled was called the flying-shuttle, and the peg called the picking-peg (i.e.

	BBC - History - The Flying Shuttle and cotton 1733 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		During the course of the eighteenth century, a variety of inventions allowed for greater mechanisation to be applied to the industry and this led in turn to the industrial structure changing to a factory-based system.
		In 1733, John Kay invented the Flying Shuttle (which meant that broader cloth could be woven and at a quicker rate); in 1764, James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny (which meant that more than one thread could be produced at a time).
		Five years later in 1769, Richard Arkwright invented the water frame (which allowed cotton to be spun for the first time); in 1779, Samuel Compton's Mule allowed the spinning of finer cloths, and Edmund Cartwright's Power Loom (1786) completed the mechanisation of the weaving process.

		The fuel used to maneuver the Shuttle while on orbit is indeed burned and is different stuff than what is used in the main engines during the eight and a half minutes of launch.
		The space shuttle position and velocity with respect to the earth are derived from the accumulation of these measurements over time.

		John Kay was born in 1704, he invented the flying shuttle in 1733.
		The shuttles were passed through the warp threads by hand, a slow and laborious process.
		Kay mounted the shuttle on wheels,placed it on a track attached to the reed, and provided paddles at each end, controlled by the weaver, to shoot the shuttle from one side of the loom to the other.

		David Green, the firm's executive vice president for research and development, said the shuttle disaster and resulting upheaval in NASA's program had not affected funding for research with local firms.
		In February, seven astronauts were killed after a piece of foam insulation thought to have broken off the shuttle during takeoff allowed red hot gases to penetrate the shuttle's heat shield on re-entry, causing it to disintegrate.

	Shuttles and Bobbins
		Commonly found on industrial weaving equipment and flying shuttles, the yarn is wound on a pirn in the shuttle and flows easily off and out the back of the shuttle as it transverses the warp.
		The Leclerc Professional Flying Shuttle is made of hardwood with stainless steel pointed tips to deflect warp threads mounted with a dampening pad to absorb impact.
		Like the End Feed Hand Shuttle, the Professional Flying Shuttle incorporates a secure pirn holding mechanism to avoid delays in reseating the pirn but allows the pirn to be easily removed for rewinding.

	Leclerc Loom Options
		While a Flying Shuttle is an indispensible option when weaving fabric with widths of 60 inches or more, weavers who find the process of throwing the shuttle at narrower widths difficult may also want to consider this option.
		One of Leclerc's new Professional Flying Shuttles (6124-9000) is included with the beater option.The EFS shuttles use pirns instead of bobbins to allow the yarn to easily come off one end.
		The Flying Shuttle beater also includes a wooden handle that attaches to the top of the beater assembly making it easier for the weaver to grasp the beater.

		NASA officials said Friday they have asked experts in upper-atmosphere electric phenomena whether it is possible for such effects to occur at the altitude and weather conditions that the shuttle was flying through before it disintegrated.
		The report estimated a 1-in-100 likelihood of a shuttle flying through a sprite, blue jet or elf during re-entry over a thunderstorm.
		However, "expert panels so far have concluded that sprites, blue jets and elves do not pose a hazard to the space shuttle, which is designed to withstand a harsh electrical environment," said the report.
