Explanation:

Eli Whitney was an American inventor and manufacturer. Traditionally it is said that in recent years he invented the apple peeler but he did not patent it. What is certain is that he invented the machine to peel the cotton in 1793. This is a mechanical unit that separates seeds from cotton. Then it was a very heavy work, because of the scarce human participation.

Whitney's biggest contribution to the industry in the United States of America was the import and manufacturing system and the assembly line. He was the first to use it in the production of muskets for the government of the United States and the second in the world, since the French inventor Honoré Le Blanc the use in the manufacture of muskets for the French army United States bought and received in that epoch, weapons of Louis XVI's France).

After the independence of the United States, there was a great demand for mosquitoes in that nation, and independence became possible to produce manufactured goods. Eli Whitney found sponsors for the concept of interchangeable production parts in the manufacture of muskets. However, his sponsors were very impatient when, after a considerable time had passed, and a lot of money was spent, he was still introduced to the tools. In the long run, however, their efforts succeeded in producing interchangeable and economic parts in large quantities. The concept of producing a set of dies to make a million parts, which has been accepted today, has not been well understood at that time.
