Inventor. While an employee at the Vacuum Oil Company (later Mobil Oil), he discovered the thick oil, which was a by-product of his distilled kerosene, was able to stand the high pressures and temperatures of the new internal combustion engine. Previously the oil had been used only by tanners, but when George Baldwin Selden tried it in his gasoline automobile engine, in 1877, he found it to be the perfect lubricant and it was henceforth known as 'motor oil'.
Vacuum Oil Company
Vacuum Oil was a petroleum company in the United States, founded in 1866. It later merged with Socony, which eventually changed its name to Mobil, and today is part of ExxonMobil. The Vacuum Oil Company was incorporated in 1866 by Matthew Ewing and Hiram Bond Everest.
In 1879, Standard Oil Company, headed by John D. Rockefeller, purchased a three-quarter interest in Vacuum. During the ensuing years, Rockefeller organized his various oil holdings into the Standard Oil Trust, with headquarters in New York. Standard Oil Company of New York (Socony) founded with dissolution of the Standard Oil monopoly in 1911.
In 1930, Vacuum acquired Wadham's Oil Company and the White Star Refining Company.
In 1931, Socony acquired all the assets of Vacuum Oil Company and changed its name to Socony-Vacuum Corporation.
In 1933, Socony-Vacuum and Standard Oil of New Jersey (later to become known as Esso, then Exxon) merged their Far East facilities and interests into a 50-50 venture called Standard-Vacuum Oil Company, or Stanvac.
In 1934, Socony-Vacuum Corp. changed its name to Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, Inc.
In 1955, the name was changed to Socony Mobil Oil Company, Inc. In 1966, there was a further change of name to the Mobil Oil Corporation.
