"The Scholfield Wool-Carding Machines" by Grace Rogers Cooper is a historical publication produced during the mid-20th century. This book delves into the development of wool carding technology, focusing on the contributions made by the Scholfield brothers, John and Arthur, who brought their expertise in wool processing to America in the late 18th century. It explores the evolution of wool carding machines, a pivotal innovation that facilitated the American textile industry during its early growth. The narrative traces the Scholfields' journey from England to their establishment in Newburyport, Massachusetts, where they built the first significant wool-carding machine in America. The book details their subsequent ventures in the establishment of woolen mills and outlines the technological advancements in carding techniques, including the transition from hand tools to the mechanized carding processes they introduced. Through their ingenuity in this sector, the Scholfields transformed wool processing and left a lasting impact on the textile industry in the United States, underscoring the intersection of craftsmanship and innovation during this transformative period in American history.
