William H. Mason

William H. Mason (19 February 1877 - 24 August 1940) was an American research engineer and inventor, who developed in 1924 the Masonite process, by which wood is converted in fibers and subsequently into fibreboards without the use of any resin.

His invention, known as Mason method, was actually realized by a laboratory accident.
