Richard Arkwright employed John Kay to produce a new spinning-machine that Kay had worked on with (or possibly stolen from) another inventor called Thomas Highs . With the help of other local craftsmen the team produced the spinning frame, which produced a stronger thread than the Spinning Jenny produced by James Hargreaves . The frame employed the Draw Roller s invented by Lewis Paul to twist the Yarn . Too large to be operated by hand, the spinning frame needed a new source of power. Arkwright at first experimented with horses, but decided to employ the power of the Water Wheel , which gave the invention the name of water frame. See also External links
