1889 Obituary [3]
GEORGE NAYLOR VICKERS was born on the 14th of November, 1830.
He received the ordinary classical education of the day; his technical studies being chiefly confined to metallurgical chemistry, in which he became extremely proficient.
He became a partner in the firm of Naylor, Vickers and Co in 1853, and when the business was merged into that of Vickers, Sons and Co., Limited, he became a Director of the latter Company, and continued to be so up to the time of his death, which took place in Paris on the 20th of January, 1889.
As he chiefly resided abroad, his attention was more devoted to the commercial interests of the Company (for which his extensive knowledge of European languages peculiarly fitted him) than to the technical management of the works.
He was elected an Associate of the Institution on the 23rd of May, 1865.
