Wikipedia entry for George B. Selden

Description:

The inventor, George B. Selden, became a notorious figure in the early days of the automobile. See the Wikipedia link for more information.

Selden's prototype car was produced with the help of woodworking machinery maker Frank H. Clement. Another curious Rochester connection is that George Eastman learned photography from George Monroe and George Selden. In 1880 Selden and Eastman were granted a patent on Eastman's "method and apparatus for coating plates for use in photography".
