  24. What do we already know about Cotton Mills?

  25. Team Names!!! • Get into groups of 4 • You need to consider the following when choosing your group: • You may need to have a mixture of boys and girls • You may need someone who is good at Maths • You may need someone who can act as a scribe • You may need someone who is good at making decisions • You have 2 minutes to get in a group, find a table and come and get sheets from me at the front!

  26. The Cotton Kings Decision Making Reflection Look back over the decisions you have made today. Which was the BEST decision, which was the WORST? When you have decided fill in your reflection sheet, remembering to give your REASONS and be ready to feedback to the rest of the class

  27. The Cotton Kings

  28. The Year is 1773 • You represent a partnership of people who intend moving into the cotton industry • Your objective is to make as much money as possible from the cotton trade • Your starting capital is £9000; enter this on your accounts sheet in the income column

  29. 1773 • You must decide where to site your mill • Look at the options available on your map • Costs vary ! • B = £7000 • A, C, D, F = £5000 E, G, H = £4000 • J, K, I = £4500 • Select your site and mark it on your company sheet • Write down the cost in your expenditure column

  30. 1773 • Select your power source from the choice of MUSCLE or WATER • Sites A E and B must use MUSCLE power • Other sites can build a water wheel costing £1000 • Write down your decision • Calculate your balance at the end of 1773

  31. 1774 • Your mill is built and ready to operate • What spinning machines will you purchase ? • Hargreaves` Spinning Jenny costs £1000 • Arkwright`s Patent Water Frame costs £1500 • Make your decision !

  32. Spinning Jenny had no patent, so begin producing cotton immediately Income : Muscle powered mills (A, B and E) = £500 Water powered mills (C, D & H) = £1000 Other mills (F, G, I, J & K) = £1500 Water Frame – Arkwright will sue anyone using his machine, therefore pay him £1000 ! Income : Mill with no water wheel = GO BANKRUPT Mills C, D and H = £1500 Mills F, G, I, J & K = £2000 Calculate your balance at the end of 1774 1774 Results

  33. 1775 • Some millowners have begun a campaign to have Arkwright`s patent declared illegal, because the Water Frame was not really his idea. • They need a contribution of £500 ! • If at least 2 millowners pay this sum the patent will be declared illegal. • All Water Frame users will benefit, otherwise all owners must pay the £1000 fee again

  34. Results 1775 • Income • Mills A, B = £500 • Mills C, D and H = £1000 • All other mills = £1500 • PLUS • £500 if your Spinning Jenny is water powered • £1000 if you are using the Water Frame • Calculate your balance at the end of 1775

  35. 1776 • If you have not yet bought a water wheel you may now purchase one for £1200, (except mills A,B ) • Arkwright`s patent has been removed • You may also purchase a Water Frame for £1200
