Transformer

 * ... that the two basic transformer (pictured) constructions in common use today are based on designs described in patent applications from 1885?

 * My scientific capabilities are limited, but it seems like a more hooky fact could be derived from this article. And maybe a more dynamic image, like the one at right (that is also used in the article)? Cbl62 (talk) 01:53, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to Go. It was brought to Good Article status within time limit. Definitely long enough. Article is neutral, cites sources with inline citations and is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. Picture is free. No QPQ required. Personally as previously being in the electrical engineering field before retiring, I like the original picture and to me applies better to the field and easier to understand than the alternate image proposed. And I might add the blue transformer on the green platform looks much nicer. The original hook makes perfect sense to me (sounds good) and is verified in reference source.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:24, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
