• ... that Pittsburgh industrialist Aaron S. French (pictured) co-founded the largest vehicular spring manufacturer of the 19th century?

5x expanded by MaxVeers (talk). Self nominated at 15:57, 6 May 2013 (UTC).

• Article new enough, long enough, and adequately cited. Hook short enough, interesting enough, and also cited. Article appears to be neutral and free of copyright violations and plagiarism. The lead though could do with some expansion to adequately summarize it. Cheers!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 07:21, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks! Per your suggestion, I expanded the lede. MaxVeers (talk) 18:23, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
    • What is a "vehicular spring"? You mean Suspension (vehicle)? Link it here and in the article. Or even better, use the common word. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 12:10, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
      • Thanks. "Vehicular spring" is the language used in several sources, but suspension looks similar. MaxVeers (talk) 23:00, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
