Before the Industrial Revolution turned our lives upside down, women of all classes, with the exception of the most privileged elite, spent enormous amounts of time sewing clothes and other household items. Women spent up to 30% of their time with a needle in their hands. Mechanizing sewing turned out to be a very complex engineering problem that was solved only in the mid-19th century. And the most successful of the engineer-entrepreneurs who put sewing machines on stream and delivered them to every home was Isaac Singer. Here in this video you can watch a great animation of different types of sewing machines in action: • The Surprising Genius of Sewing Machines Time codes: 00:00 - the oldest female profession 02:05 - a person sewing 06:14 - the first sewing machines of Saint and Thimonier 10:25 - shuttle machines and Howe's invention 13:53 - Isaac Singer on stage and in his personal life 21:37 - Singer takes over the market Support the channel with exclusive materials for subscribers: Boosty: https://boosty.to/elevated Patreon: / julia_bolchakova Download my fiction books from Etsy (e-pub or pdf): https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Aleutie?...
