Henry Sturmey (1857–1930) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Sturmey
John James Henry Sturmey (1857-1930), known as Henry Sturmey, is best remembered as the inventor with William Archer of the Sturmey-Archer three-speed hub for bicycles, but he was a technical editor and journalist heavily involved as a pioneer of the cycling and automotive industries. Born at Norton-sub-Hamdon, Somerset, he died aged 72 at his home in Coventry on 8 January 1930. ==Maths and science== Henry Sturmey rode his first bicycle while at school in Weymouth when in his mid-teens in 1872 and became a keen cyclist. He was a touring enthusiast rather than interested in track racing. Sturmey's first post was an assistant-master at Brixton Hill College, London S.W. He resigned in 1877 to devote himself to writing a book on cycling published as ''The Indispensable Bicyclist's Handbook''. Dealing with every bicycle on the market and 300 pages long the first edition was sold out within a month. Following an unsuccessful attempt to sell bicycles made to his own design he took up the post of mathematics and science master at Brynavor Hall College, Towyn but continued to develop material for another book on cycling.〔Mr. Henry Sturmey ''The Times'', Friday, 10 January 1930; pg. 14; Issue 45407〕 He then moved to Coventry to The British Boys School in King Street near the heart of the new cycle industry.
