Basile Bouchon • Son of an organ maker, he realized the perforated paper pattern to tell the organist where to place the pegs could be used as a controller on a loom • In 1725 built a loom using a loop of perforated paper to control the thread lifters on a loom
Jean-Baptiste Falcon • In 1728 Falcon improved on Bouchon’s idea by substituting cards for the paper roll.
Jaques de Vaucanson • In 1741 improved the system by automating it • Used a perforated cylinder, then placed a perforated paper roll around it • Added a ratchet system to advance the cylinder
Joseph Jacquard • In 1800 perfected the system using cards like Falcon and Vaucanson’s ratchet system • Created the Jaquard loom • Jaquard gets all the credit for everyone else’s previous work
