Biography
He was born on 14 June 1904, the son of Edgar Snowden Appleyard and Elizabeth Whitehead of Huddersfield, England.
Appleyard attended Almondbury Grammar School and then was admitted to the Cambridge as a King’s College scholar. In the Natural Science Tripos he selected Physics as one of the key science subjects to focus his interest. He spent several years on research in the Cavendish Laboratory. In 1929 at the University of Bristol's H.H. Wills Physics Laboratory, Appleyard received an appointment to a George Wills research associateship. At the University of Chicago for the 1931–1932 academic year, Appleyard was awarded with a Rockefeller fellowship.
Appleyard died on 15 June 1939 through injuries caused by a fall.
