சாமுவேல் கிராம்ப்டன் (Samuel Crompton, 3 டிசம்பர் 1753 – 26 சூன் 1827) ஆங்கிலேயக் கண்டுபிடிப்பாளரும், நெசவுத் துறையின் முன்னோடியும் ஆவார். யேம்சு ஆர்கிரீவ்சு, ரிச்சார்ட் ஆர்க்ரைட் ஆகியோரின் ஆக்கங்க ளை ஆராய்ந்ததில் இவர் மியுனூற்ற ற்பொறி யை 1779 இல் கண்டுபிடித்தார். இங்கிலாந்தில் ஏற்பட்ட 
தொழி ற்புர ட்சியில் இது முக்கிய பங்களிப்பாகப் பார்க்கப்ப டுகிறது.[1][2]

About 1779, Samuel Crompton succeeded in producing a mule-jenny, a machine which spun yarn suitable for use in the manufacture of muslin.[6] It was known as the muslin wheel or the Hall i' th' Woodwheel,[7] from the name of the house in which he and his family now lived.[8] The mule-jenny later became known as the spinning mule. There was a strong demand for the yarn which Crompton was making at Hall i' th' Wood but he lacked the means to take out a patent. The prying into his methods forced Crompton to choose between destroying his machine or making it public. He adopted the latter alternative after promises by a number of manufacturers to pay him for the use of the mule but all he received was about £60. [9] He then resumed spinning on his own account, but with indifferent success.[citation needed]

The mule-jenny twisted the rovings using rollers in the manner of Arkwright's frame, while the spindle carriage moved back and forth 54 inches to stretch the thread, and then to gather it in the spinning spindles in the manner of Hargreaves jenny. [10] The mule's importance was that it could spin thread better than could be done by hand, which led to ever finer thread. Coarse thread (40s) sold for 14 shillings per pound whilst (80s) spun on his mule sold at 42 shillings a pound.[11]
