| Thomas Highs of Leigh had claimed that he was the true inventor of both these devices and the spinning jenny as well. |
| Highs was a witness at the February 1785 trial, and in his evidence claimed he had made fluted rollers. |
| Thomas Highs, sometimes spelled Thomas Hayes, was born in Leigh, Lancashire in 1718 and lived most of his life there. |
| It is alleged that Highs gave clockmaker Kay a wooden model of his rollers and asked him to make a working metal version. |
| The principle of his rolling spinning process was perfected by John Kay and Thomas Highs and promoted by Richard Arkwright. |
| Highs can be a bit tinny but this can be tweaked easy enough, with mid range and bass being just about right for both gaming and music. |
