George Herbert Skinner : ウィキペディア英語版 | George Herbert Skinner George Herbert Skinner (1872–1931) was a British shoe and carburettor manufacturer. ==Biography== He was born in April 1872 in the London Borough of Ealing as the son of the shoemaker William Banks Skinner, owner of the company ''Lilley & Skinner''. Herbert Skinner entered the management of ''Lilley & Skinner'' and in 1903 he imported from France a car of Léon Bollée. In February 1905 Herbert applied for a full patent for a newly developed carburettor, which was granted in January 1906. George Herbert and his younger brother Thomas Carlisle Skinner (1882–1958) formed in August 1910 the Skinners Union, ''SU Company Limited''.〔SU Carburettors: http://sw-em.com/su_carbs.htm〕 It started to produce the originally branded 'The Union Carburettor' which was soon renamed 'The SU carburettor', being an abbreviation of 'Skinners' Union'. Another of the Skinner brothers, John, became a director of the company around 1913.〔http://www.minimania.com/web/DisplayID/1458/ArticleV.cfm〕 George Herbert Skinner did not believe in early schooling. His son Herbert Wakefield Banks Skinner was accordingly nine years old before he entered ''Durston House School'' at Ealing.〔H. Jones: Herbert Wakefield Banks Skinner. 1900-1960.
