• "The building was finished being constructed in 1864." - Consider "Construction of the building was finished in 1864"

• "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?

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:14, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

• 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.

 Done - Not familiar with this. Yes, could you please add one. Thank you!--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:37, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

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)
