Samuel Slater memorized the design of British textile machinery to bring industrial innovations to the United States. Having worked in a British cotton mill, he understood the intricacies of the machines and sought to replicate them in America, where such technology was not yet available.

This move ultimately helped to advance the U.S. textile industry and boost economic growth.
