Quantity
The Industrial Revolution was all about making manufacturing and labor more efficient so more goods were able to be produced and available to more citizens.
Textile
The textile Industry introduced from working as cottage industries to working in large factories using semi- automated machines. Firstly, working in a factory meant that raw materials and goods were delivered and picked up from the same location, and therefore increase the efficiency of transportation. Furthermore, with the introduction of the spinning machine and looms we were able to produce the goods much faster. For instance, the most commonly used spinning machine, the spinning jenny, was able to spin 12 threads at once and at faster speed than the speed of hand production of one thread.
Agriculture
The Industrial Revolution increased the efficiency of work on farm by implementing new methods and tools. New farming methods such as that the cultivation of clovers and other legumes would replace the fertility of soil was able to reduce the amount of time it took to wait for the soil to re-fertilize. Furthermore, the invention of the threshing machine and the introduction of horsepower on farms reduced the amount of work that was burdened on the farmers.
Iron Processing
The Industrial Revolution allowed iron to be produced in large quantities and at a lesser cost.
Steam powering/ Transportation
The three changes in the transportation industry (waterways, roads,locomotives) and the discovery of steam powering made transportation of goods and raw materials more efficient and less costly, and therefore increasing the quantity of the production. During this time people also started to live out in the West in the United States which made travelling and imports more efficient to them and less distant to the east. In some cases, the quality of products were improved because better quality materials were able to be brought out from farther away at a lesser cost.
