Sweet. The expansion looks awesome already, even just so far! — ¾-10 18:13, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, 3/4-10. Could you help me by getting rid of the image size artifact in the infobox and causing the "Broehl" references to link from Notes to References? I'll be away for a while, so this is probably all I'll do, for now. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 19:18, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Will do. The expansion is very substantial. So no worries about "for now"; it stands on its own merits even as-is! Of course, any future development will also be great. In the meantime I'll take a look at adding on any niceties (Harvnb etc). — ¾-10 19:38, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest and your kind offer. User:LilHelpa fixed the infobox and I managed to figure out what was wrong with the Harvnb. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 22:28, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Fellows Gear Shaper Co. picture

I have a B&W version of the present-day image of the former manufacturing facility. Should I use it in order to maintain the B&W theme or should I retain the current version in order to bridge the history across to the present? User:HopsonRoad 18:52, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

I definitely prefer the latter option, personally. Thanks so much for providing this photo! It's even got the panoramic view. — ¾-10 19:05, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

BTW, I took the liberty of getting rid of the bot's "no license" warning at Commons by inserting a license. If you prefer a different license, feel free to modify. Thanks. — ¾-10 19:16, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much! I hit the [Return] button prematurely and that was a consequence. I infer that your preference is to retain the current color picture. Reply needed only if my inference is incorrect. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 19:20, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
