		A few years later, it is said, Hargreaves accidentally toppled the spinning wheel in his home.As it lay on its side, Hargreaves noticed the wheel and the spindle were still in motion, even though they had been tipped ninety degrees.
		Hargreaves began constructing just such a machine in 1754; fourteen years andmany prototypes later, the spinning jenny was complete.
		Soon, however, the Hargreaves family suffered some financial setbacks, and he was forced to sell a few of his machines to mills.

		Hargreaves' invention of the Spinning Jenny was to change all that, and would be a crucial implement in the advancement of the Industrial revolution.
		Hargreaves' invention had only ever been intended for personal use in his home, of course, but soon others wanted to buy his machine, and their manufacture soon began to take off as a fully commercial enterprise.
		Hargreaves had very little business sense and by the time that he finally got round to applying for a patent on his invention in 1770, many others had already copied the concept and consequently Hargreaves made little or nothing from his invention.

	James Hargreaves
		James Hargreaves was born near Blackburn at a farm on the moors above Oswaldtwistle (the exact location is unknown).
		James had a keen interest in streamlining the various processes used in the production of cotton cloth - his first innovations improved the process of hand-carding, where the tangled fibres of cotton are teased out between two hand-held combs.
		However, James Hargreaves' most famous invention was the Spinning Jenny, a machine which took the traditional spinning wheel and turned it 90 degrees to a horizontal position, allowing it to spin multiple spindles at once.

		In 1764, James Hargreaves, a weaver in Stanhill, Lancashire, built a spinning machine which used eight spindles onto which the thread was spun from a corresponding set of eight rovings, all turned by a single wheel.
		Hargreaves was born at Oswaldtwistle, near Blackburn, in about 1720 and received no formal education, being unable to either read or write.
		It is said that Hargreaves' daughter, Jenny, accidentally knocked over the family's spinning wheel and the spindle continued to revolve making her father realise that multiple spindles, each spinning a thread, could be worked by one wheel.

		IT IS highly unlikely that James Hargreaves had anything to do with the invention of the spinning jenny - despite what the history books say.
		What Hargreaves really did was to improve on a machine that had been designed and built years before by an obscure artisan from Leigh called Thomas Highs, who was the true genius of the Industrial Revolution.
		Hargreaves deserves his place in the story of cotton for his perseverance in perfecting the jenny and seeing it into widespread use.
