Indivudual essays explore the importance of textile manufacturing in American industrialization, the role of the federal government in regulating new modes of transport, ht e development of interchaneable parts in production, the process of innovation, the notion of technological systems, and the relationship between technological change and work in the factory, on the farm and in the home.
