NRHP Category

I noticed that the NRHP category was removed because the company is not on the NRHP, only the building they occupied. However, the National Register of Historic Places listings in Cleveland, Ohio page links here. We either need to 1. Create a page for the building (like is often done already for NRHP buildings), add the category to that page, and change the link on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Cleveland, Ohio page to point to the new page. OR 2. Create a section on this page that talks about the building the company occupied & its significance as a NRHP building. We could then point the Cleveland, Ohio NRHP page to the sub-section and put the category back on the page. Any thoughts on this?

Also, I removed the 'Articles which may no longer need images' category as I really think we need a picture of the Baker car itself, not just the factory. HornColumbia (talk) 17:38, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mica window?!

Under the heading "History: 1902 accident", the second sentence states that the car had "...a small conning tower and even smaller mica window for the driver" (emphasis added). I find this very hard to believe. There would be no good reason to use mica for a window, instead of glass, and very good reasons not to (the most obvious one being that mica is not transparent). No source is provided for this claim. Unless someone can substantiate it, it should be removed.
