Talk:Manistee Watch Company

Julius Kahn
I need help. I just changed Louis Kahn to Julius Kahn in a sentence that says who invented the concrete reinforcing system used in the Manistee factory. I'd like to make a footnote to back that up, but I can't figure out how. The footnote would contain the following information: The source is Structure (that's the name of a publication), April 2013. The article was written by Ryan Salmon, EIT and Meghan Elliott, P.E., Associate AIA. The URL is http://www.structuremag.org/article.aspx?articleID=1636. The text I'd like to quote is "The "Kahn System" was invented by Julius Kahn, who filed a patent for it on December 11, 1902."

Of course, this doesn't PROVE that this same Kahn system was used in the Manistee factory, but unless a different person named Kahn violated the patent and offered a different concrete system under the same name (which seems unlikely), it had to be Julius Kahn's system.

It definitely wasn't Louis Kahn, who appears to be no relation. He was 7 years old in 1908 and had just immigrated from Russia with his family.

If anyone can help me fix this, I'd appreciate it. I don't want to leave this change unsupported by reference.Gms3591 (talk) 09:39, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

 * You're welcome, and thank you for the help. I wish I were better at formatting, but I can't seem to figure out anything even slightly complicated, so others have to do my work for me.  By the way, I noticed you misspelled Structure (the name of the publication), so I fixed it.  You had it right in the URL, so the link was correct. Gms3591 (talk) 08:40, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
