Daniel Bourn received his patent in 1748. The patent covered a carding machine with rotating cylinders.
Daniel Bourn's cotton mill was located at Leominster in Herefordshire. It was a Paul-Wyatt type spinning mill.
The Paul-Wyatt mill was a type of cotton-spinning facility associated with the machinery system developed by Lewis Paul and John Wyatt. Bourn owned one of these mills at Leominster at the time he was granted his carding machine patent in 1748.
Daniel Bourn is thought likely to have had some association with Lancashire, though the precise nature of that connection has not been confirmed. At the time of his 1748 patent, he was based at a mill in Leominster, Herefordshire.
A carding machine combs and aligns raw fibres so they can be spun into thread. Bourn's 1748 patent introduced rotating cylinders to perform this task mechanically, which was a departure from hand-held carding tools and an important step toward industrialised textile production.
