Charles Baird (1766–1843) was a Scottish engineer who played an important part in the industrial and business life of 19th-century St. Petersburg. His company specialised in steam-driven machinery and was responsible for Russia's first steamboat.
Biography
Born at Westerton, Bothkennar, Stirlingshire, Charles was one of the nine children of Nicol Baird, superintendent of the Forth and Clyde Canal. His younger brother Hugh Baird also became an engineer. Charles Baird started his working life in 1782 as an apprentice at the Carron Ironworks near Falkirk.
By the age of 19 Baird had a supervisory post in the gun department, and in 1786 he accompanied a Carron Company manager, Charles Gascoigne, to Russia to establish the Aleksandrovsk gun factory at Petrozavodsk, and a cannonball foundry at Kronstadt. Gascoigne had been invited to Russia by Samuel Greig, a Scot who was an admiral in the Russian Navy.
In 1792 Baird entered into partnership with Francis Morgan, whose daughter Sophia he married in June 1794. Their St. Petersburg business became known as the Baird Works (Russian:Завод Берда) and specialised in steam-driven machinery. It supplied machinery for the ImperialArsenal, Mint, and glassworks, and undertook a range of projects from bridge-building to ornamental metalwork. Baird also had a sugar refinery using his own innovative method of refining.

Made Tech has been working with different data platforms in local governments, and we believe in the opportunities that building a blueprint Semantic Ontology, and by extension a data model, could bring if shared openly and leveraged continuously.
In this session, we would like to discuss the advantages and scope of an open and free data platform that could be shared across government. The discussion will focus on how you can align your projects to the National Data Strategy and drive innovation and collaboration between departments and local authorities.
Key takeaways
