Answer:

COTTON GIN

Step-by-step explanation:

A gin or almarra is a machine that quickly and easily separates cotton fibers from things and their seeds, which are sometimes sticky. The gin uses a screen and small wire hooks that push the cotton through it, while brushes continually remove loose cotton threads to avoid jams.

This gadget was developed by Eli Whitney in 1793. This small machine allowed this separation at high speed and economically, being able to supply the growing demand for raw cotton after the invention of the loom.
