Russell Stuart Wright

Russell Stuart Wright was a British engineer, noted as M.I.E.E., who lived from 1876 to 1961. He is remembered chiefly for his work in optical projection and for writing about the use of the lantern in technical and educational settings.

He is associated with Optical Projection: A Treatise on the Use of the Lantern in Exhibition and Scientific Demonstration, a practical work connected with the projection of lantern slides. His writing sits at the meeting point of engineering, photography, and public instruction, helping readers understand how projection technology could be used clearly and effectively.

Although detailed biographical information appears to be limited in the sources available, his published work and professional designation suggest a solid place in the history of visual technology and technical communication in Britain.
