Mid life and career
[edit]- "Langenheim and his brother William began working in 1840" - I believe the text in bold might be better off placed at the start or the end of the sentence it is part of
- Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 09:40, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- "Langenheim acquired a daguerreotype camera in 1841 from Von Voigtlander" - the text in bold is better off placed at the end of this text

- Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 09:40, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

- "The seventh set was given to United States president James Knox Polk.[15] The eighth set was retained by the Langenheim brothers.[10]" - consider merging these two sentences together
- Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:17, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- "There were eight phases taken of different time sequences.[27] They are the earliest known eclipse pictures taken in the United States.[28]" - merging both these sentences might help things here
- Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:17, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- "1.25 inches high by 1 inch wide (3.2 cm × 2.5 cm)" - would believe the [convert: needs a number] is still better than writing it out in plain
- Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:17, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- "2.8125 inches high by 2.3125 inches wide (7.2 cm × 5.9 cm)" - same issue as above
- Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:17, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- "(2.8125 inches high" - the opening parentheses isn't needed here
- Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:17, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
