Carl Harry Claudy (January 13, 1879 – May 27, 1957) was an American author, magazine writer, and journalist for the New York Herald.

[1] During the early 1900s, Claudy photographed many important aeronautical events such as Alexander Graham Bell's tetrahedral kite experiments and the Wright Flyer Army Trials at Fort Myer, Virginia.

[7] After returning from Alaska in the early 1900s, Claudy took work as an editor for various magazines including American Inventor 1900 until 1904, Prism from 1908 until 1909, Cathedral Calendar from 1921 until 1927 and The Master Mason from 1924 until 1930.

[4][8] Claudy's association with Freemasonry began in 1908, when, at the age of 29, he was raised a Master Mason in Lodge Harmony No.

Under his leadership the Masonic Service Association was brought to a place of preeminence through his authorship and distribution of the Short Talk Bulletin which made his name familiar to virtually every lodge in the country.
