Jacquard Looms

Weaving patterns is an intricate task, but is also repetitive. Joseph Jacquard developed a system of punched cards, where the pattern was 'programmed' into the cardboard cards. These controlled the lifting of the sheds and created the patterning. This later led to the development of the modern day computer.
