Basile Bouchon was a
textile worker in
Lyon who invented a way to control a
loom with a perforated paper tape in
1725. The son of an
organ maker, Bouchon adapted the concept of music automata controlled by pegged cylinders to the repetitive task of
weaving. Further refinements by others eventually lead to the wildly successful
Jacquard loom.
