Daniel Bourn

Daniel Bourn was an English inventor, who took out a patent for a carding machine with rotating cylinders in 1748.

For the poet and translator, see Daniel Bourne.

Though Bourn is thought likely to have had some association with Lancashire, at the time he received the patent he owned a Paul-Wyatt cotton-spinning mill at Leominster in Herefordshire.
