A tale recalls a humble inventor whose spindle carriage innovation eased thread strain and enabled finer yarns. The tribute notes a king's future travel to honor the grave of Samuel Crompton, linking the invention to the historical development of the mule spinning system.
Milton Bronner reports from London on May 20 that Samuel Crompton’s death centenary draws King Fuad from Cairo to Bolton. The article notes Crompton’s loom invention revolutionized cotton spinning, boosting Bolton into a global hub and linking Egypt's Nile cotton to British and world markets. Bolton’s six centuries in spinning trace back to Flemish and French artisans, with Hargreaves and Arkwright advancing rollers and the Jenny. Crompton’s muslin wheel, later Hall-in-the-Wood wheel, originated from his mother’s cottage spinning efforts.
A long neglected inventor, once too poor to patent his idea, handed it to the public for a small fee and spent life as a spinner. A 6000 pound grant came too late, and he died nearly indigent on June 6, 1827. Bolton now honors him as steam power fuels 120 miles of spinning and 70 cotton firms. King Fuad will note the Nile connection between the Egyptian field worker and the inventor who made his industry possible.
