People in the News - William Cockerill
William Cockerill played an instrumental part in founding the spinning industry in England. He started up/worked with a lot of factories all over Europe, and it is known that he used one country's information to help himself in another country. When he was well-versed in the manufacturing and production ways in one country and he went onto another he would remember the plans and such to use them to start up the same type of system in his current country. He attracted a little bit of attention from government officials because of this, but was successful overall.
