1. Overall:

• This fellow had over 500 patents, and was the founder (electrically) of street railways, master controllers for trams (street cars), and involved in Brush, General Electric, Westinghouse and Dick Kerr - all famous names in the origin of electric railways. A very succinct, short article, given this fellow's achievements.
• Minor corrections noted above. Once these are resolved, GA status will be passed.       -- Whiteguru (talk) 06:04, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
