Crompton, Samuel (1753–1827). Inventor. One of the men who revolutionized the Lancashire textiles industry, Crompton was born near Bolton. His ‘spinning mule’, invented in 1779, improved upon
Hargreaves's jenny. It was a cross between the jenny and
Arkwright's water frame and produced yarn of high quality.
