Prose[edit]

The dated prose style makes me wonder if this was plagerized, but have not yet found the source. Need to paraphrase into modern English. For example "Great War" vs. World War I. A quick check verified much plagerism from the author blurb of his 1921 book. It might be in the public domain since it was published before 1923, but still not ethical. Will take a while to fix.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._Hamilton_McCormick the link identifies the inventor of this as a scientist, but the article states he studied law and architecture. What do you think? Toandanel49 (talk) 01:01, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not a scientist[edit]

He did study law and architecture, I have confirmed it, so I removed the American scientist category. he is not a scientist. I tried to find a patent in his name, but no luck so far. The article says more about his family connections then why he is notable. Toandanel49 (talk) 01:35, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
