Charles R. (Charles Robert) Darling

Born in 1870, Charles R. Darling—Charles Robert Darling—was an engineer and science lecturer whose work centered on heat and measurement. Reference records connect him with technical writing on pyrometry, the measurement of high temperatures, and list him simply as an author born in 1870.

His books include Pyrometry: A Practical Treatise on the Measurement of High Temperatures and Liquid Drops and Globules, Their Formation and Movements. Those titles show the range of his interests: one firmly industrial and practical, the other more popular and explanatory in tone.

A biographical note in Grace's Guide describes him as an engineer and lecturer in science, and places him in London in the early 1910s. Beyond that, the easily confirmed public information appears limited, so many personal details about his life remain unclear.
