    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  • Sidney Howe Short 1880.jpg = is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1926.
  • Gold and Stock Telegraph Company 1874 ad.jpg = is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1926.
  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)Reply
