Cotton-spinning machinery

Platt's roving frame, c. 1858.

Cotton-spinning machinery is machines which process (or spin) prepared cotton roving into workable yarn or thread.[1] Such machinery can be dated back centuries. During the 18th and 19th centuries, as part of the Industrial Revolution cotton-spinning machinery was developed to bring mass production to the cotton industry. Cotton spinning machinery was installed in large factories, commonly known as cotton mills.
