Talk:Hammer Historical Collection of Incandescent Electric Lamps

Ambiguity in dates
The third paragraph of the "Description" section is ambiguous because of a combination of using "then" to describe actions and other information not being in chronological order. Currently the paragraph reads as:
 * The General Electric Company bought the collection from Hammer in 1912 for $10,000. In 1931 the light bulb collection had an estimated value of over a million dollars. They then  (in 1931 or in 1912?) donated it to the Edison Association of Illuminating Companies. The collection was then put into a formal display room in 1913 at the Headquarters of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in New York City. The display information for each Case is how it existed in 1913 after Hammer had collected these light bulbs for 34 years.

I suspect that if the second sentence (about the 1931 value) is moved to the end of the paragraph everything will be in order. That is assuming GE donated it soon after purchasing it in 1912. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:11, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
