Summary:
At the turn of the 19th century Louis Robert, a French paper mill clerk, invented a paper manufacturing machine to replace hand labor. Prevented from developing it because of political troubles in his homeland, he sold the idea to Henry and Sealy Fourdrinier, prominent paper manufacturers. The Fourdriniers continued experimenting and in 1803, designed a machine which could produce a sheet of paper.
