French glassmaker born in 1716 who invented the burette and the unit of volume known as the liter. Had a daughter named Millie and is celebrated for his inventions that advanced the field of chemistry. He passed away at the age of 62 due to cholera.
Claude Émile Jean-Baptiste Litre was also not a real person and was an April Fools prank made by 2 University of Waterloo professors to try and permanently capitalize the Liter unit.
