Baris 3: ==Biografi== Lombe dilahirkan di [[Norwich]] sekitar tahun 1693, putra dari penenun wol. Ia adalah yang termuda dari kakak tirinya [[Thomas Lombe]], yang setelah meninggalnya sang kakak, pergi mencari peruntungan sebagai pedagang sutra di Norwich dan London. <!--▼ Lombe was born in [[Norwich]] in approximately 1693, the son of a [[worsted]] weaver. He was a younger half-brother of [[Thomas Lombe]], who after his death, would go on to amass a fortune as a silk merchant in Norwich and [[London]]. Di awal abad ke-18, pusat produksi kaos kaki stoking pindah ke daerah Midlands dari London dan kebutuhan sutra gelondongan melebihi pasokan yang ada. In the early 18th century, the centre for producing silk stockings by [[Stocking frame\|framework knitting]] had moved to the [[English Midlands\|Midlands]] from London and the demand for spun silk was outstripping demand. Thomas Lombe's brother John had obtained employment at an abortive silk mill built in [[Derby]] by the well-known inventor and engineer [[George Sorocold]] for the silk "spinner" Thomas Cotchett of Derby. The mill was built on the River Derwent in the city of Derby. It may have been the first instance of workers being gathered under one roof to work machinery driven by an inanimate power source. John Lombe telah mendapatkan pekerjaan di pabrik pemintalan sutra yang gagal dibangun di [[Derby]] oleh insinyur dan penemu terkenal [[George Sorocold]] untuk Thomas Cotchett "sang pemintal" dari Derby. Pemintalan dibuat di Sungai Derwent di kota Derby. Hal ini mungkin menjadi contoh pertama dimana para pekerja bekerja di satu atap dengan mesin yang digerakkan oleh tenaga bukan manusia. ▲<!-- The [[Italian people\|Italians]] had been using power spinning since the early 17th century, with a description published by [[Vittorio Zonca]]. [[Leonardo Da Vinci]] had sketched a similar model, but Zonca's was more complete; it is unknown if there was contact. John was sent by his brother to investigate the Italian machines spinning fine organzine thread. Organzine are raw silk warp threads and are essential for weaving fine silk cloth.<ref>[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/organzine Organzine], Merriam Webster dictionary, accessed May 2011</ref> As the story goes, he obtained employment at one of the Italian shops where the secret silk-throwing machinery was used. He stole into the shops at night and carefully diagrammed them by candlelight. He then brought the designs back to England in 1716. Baris 27 ⟶ 26: In recognition of his achievement he was given a grant of £14,000 to prepare a model of his machine which was displayed in the [[Tower of London]] for the benefit of other aspiring manufacturers. He died in 1739 and the building was sold to Samuel Lloyd and William Wilson. It continued to spin silk until 1890 when it partly collapsed. --> ==Pemintalan Sutra hari ini== Pabrik pemintalan berpindah kepemilikan beerapa kali dan dibangun beberapa kali, namun modifikasi struktur utam masih ada dan direstorasi ke bangunan di [[Museum Industri Derby]].
