Platt Brothers were at the forefront of technological innovation and their plant in Oldham was the most highly mechanised of its kind. Platt systematically improved the technique of cotton spinning and perfected the carding machine, the roving frame and the self-acting mule. Platts" mules were unrivalled in their length and speed of operation, and in productivity. In 1879 Platts reached its highest recorded levels of power loom production and its export of spinning machines. The Platt Company was the largest employer in Oldham and the largest maker of cotton-processing machinery in Lancashire and hence in the world.
