Career. Whitney is most famous for two innovations which came to have significant impacts on the United States in the mid-19th century: the cotton gin (1793) and his advocacy of interchangeable parts. In the South, the cotton gin revolutionized the way cotton was harvested and reinvigorated slavery.

In 1794, U.S.-born inventor Eli Whitney (1765-1825) patented the cotton gin, a machine that revolutionized the production of cotton by greatly speeding up the process of removing seeds from cotton fiber. By the mid-19th century, cotton had become America’s leading export.

Eli Whitney influenced American manufacturing by coming up with the idea of using interchangeable parts to make a machine. This made machines easier to assemble and broken parts easier to replace.

Eli Whitney Quotations “One of my primary objects is to form the tools so the tools themselves shall fashion the work and give to every part its just proportion.” “I can make just such ones if I had tools, and I could make tools if I had tools to make them with.”

In 1803, Marc Brunel, famous engineer, along with the help of others was first able to mass-produce interchangeable parts. He streamlined a process of creating pulley blocks for naval shipyards using metal machines and a crew of only 10 men.

For example, cars, computers, furniture, almost all products used today, are made from interchangeable parts. Interchangeability of parts also allows products to be repaired by replacing a broken part with an identical new part. Eli Whitney was the first to use interchangeable parts in manufacturing.

The government knew about Eli’s mechanical skills. So, his contract called for him to make 10,000 guns. Regular workers-not skilled gunsmiths-made many parts then assembled them into many guns. This method was much faster than making guns by hand.

The musket was invented in 1615 in France. No one knows who invented the musket, It is up for speculation, some believe it was invented by Leonardo DaVinci a little more than 100 years earlier but others say it was Le Bourgeois, a french gunsmith.

Interchangeable parts are parts (components) that are, for practical purposes, identical. They are made to specifications that ensure that they are so nearly identical that they will fit into any assembly of the same type. One such part can freely replace another, without any custom fitting, such as filing.
