塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导

Lee’s brother, with seven of the workmen, succeeded in escaping from France with their frames, leaving two behind. On James Lee’s return to Nottinghamshire, he was joined by one Ashton, a miller of Thoroton, who had been instructed in the art of frame-work knitting by the inventor himself before he left England. These two, with the workmen and their frames, began the stocking manufacture at Thoroton, and carried it on with considerable success. The place was favourably situated for the purpose, as the sheep pastured in the neighbouring district of Sherwood yielded a kind of wool of the longest staple. Ashton is said to have introduced the method of making the frames with lead sinkers, which was a great improvement. The number of looms employed in different parts of England gradually increased; and the machine manufacture of stockings eventually became an important branch of the national industry.

白话

李的兄弟和七名工人带着他们的织袜机成功逃出法国,留下两人。詹姆斯·李回到诺丁汉郡后,索罗顿的磨坊主阿什顿加入了他,阿什顿在李氏离开英国前曾得到发明者本人的织机编织技术指导。这两人与工人们带着织机在索罗顿开始了织袜业,并相当成功。该地条件有利,因为附近舍伍德牧场的羊产出的羊毛纤维最长。据说阿什顿引入了用铅坠制作织机的方法,这是一大改进。英格兰各地使用的织机数量逐渐增加;机器制造袜子最终成为国家工业的重要分支。

上下文

《自助》中讲述织袜机技术从法国传回英国并推动产业发展的故事。
