	James Hargreaves - inventor
		It was a sort of half-way house, something to bridge the gap between the spinning wheel and the heavier, more complicated machinery that came later and required factory conditions in which to operate.
		THERE is a romantic but inaccurate story about why Hargreaves named his machine "jenny." One day, it is claimed, his daughter Jenny accidentally knocked over the family spinning wheel and, as the wheel continued to rotate, Hargreaves suddenly saw the possibility of one wheel producing several threads simultaneously.
		Sadly, Hargreaves did not have a daughter called Jenny and the word is simply a corruption of "gin", as in Eli Whitney's cotton gin, and that itself is a shortened form of the word "engine."

	The Hindu : Young World : Jenny speeds up spinning

		The Jenny was simple enough to be operated by a layman, small enough to fit into a farmhouse kitchen and effective enough to revolutionise the production of thread.
		Just as it happened earlier with Kay's flying shuttle, Spinning Jenny too aroused jealousy and fear among his neighbours and, in 1768, an irate mob gathered at Blackburn's market cross and marched to Stanhill, where they smashed the frames of 20 machines he was building.

	Spinning jenny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was invented circa 1764 by James Hargreaves in Stanhill, near Blackburn, Lancashire in the north west of England (although Thomas Highs is another candidate identified as the inventor).
		The name is variously said to derive from the tale above (although Hargreaves did not have a daughter called Jenny); from the daughter of Thomas Highs (another craftsman, who is the possible true inventor of the spinning jenny); or from a corruption of engine (see also cotton gin).

	Spinning Jenny
		Spinning Jenny is billed as a 'comedy with a giant twist'.
		The comedy, apart from the farce of the party and the farce which is the collective lives of the guests, revolves around the tactless drunk, Jenny herself, and the opportunities created by telling a story twice.
		There are several punchlines in the first half of the play, and the joke in the latter, all pulled off with good effect (or is that affect).

	Richard Arkwright and the Spinning Jenny
		Though Lewis Paul, of Birmingham, patented the invention of spinning by rollers thirty years before Arkwright, the machines constructed by him were so imperfect in their details, that they could not be profitably worked, and the invention was practically a failure.
		It is supposed that he was informed by Kay of the principle of spinning by rollers; but it is also said that the idea was first suggested to him by accidentally observing a red-hot piece of iron become elongated by passing between iron rollers.
		However this may be, the idea at once took firm possession of his mind, and he proceeded to devise the process by which it was to be accomplished, Kay being able to tell him nothing on this point.

		It catches the band in somewhat of a transitional musical period: halfway between the lighter, ornate stylings of witty British popsters XTC that Spinning Jenny favored early on in its career, and the heavier approach it has since adopted.
		The incident occurred during the Jennys' regular Sunday-night stand at the Yucca Tap Room, when a midset disagreement between Easterling and Hinders about stage volume escalated into a messy shouting match outside after the gig.
		Like XTC, one of the Jennys' biggest assets has been the way the band consistently pulls off the incredibly intricate harmonies of its studio recordings in a live setting.
