Basile BouchonBasile 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 repetetive task of weaving. Further refinements by others eventually lead to the wildly successful Jacquard loom.
