What innovations allowed factories to be built anywhere?
Explanation: James Watt made steam engines much more efficient in the 1760s and 1770s giving huge savings on fuel. His other improvements meant steam enginescould replace water and horse power in a wide variety of industries, which in turn allowed factories to be built anywhere.
What invention freed factories from placing themselves in coal mines?
