 * "and some valiant firemen. [6]" - Remove the extraneous space after the period

 * Link patent models at the first point where you discuss models in the prose
 * ✅ --Doug Coldwell (talk) 08:59, 19 June 2020 (UTC)


 * "nineteenth century" - hyphenate

 * "The patent office could loan out the rejected models to museums and other organizations, the increase in litigation made their preservation important and militated against such transfers." - This sentence is confusing me. Can it be rephrased?  Also, I think Patent Office should be capitalized at all points when you're referring to the bureau

 * Does Campbell have an OCLC?

 * Ref 8 the date should be October 26, 1877, not June 2006. I'd recommend setting it up as a cite journal or cite periodical, with the journal/periodical name being The Engineer.  Also, I don't think the comma in "Superintendent, of Models" is needed.

That's it for the first pass, I'll give this one another look through later. Hog Farm (talk) 22:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
