In Operations: In the first paragraph, I believe the writer misunderstood the text of the quoted source. Article here says that "Upon the introduction of electricity, Linde ammonia compressors were utilized as replacements." but unless there is some other detail missing, the quoted source article ^[1] seems to indicate that two Linde compressors were replaced by "J&E Hall." Also, the source article then refers to the replacements saying "...were the largest machines produced by J&E Hall..."

The article is accurate to the source in saying that the first compressors were Pontifex, and the original source is not clear when the Linde machines replaced or supplemented the Pontifex compressors, but unless I am missing something I think it's clear that the machines replaced were Linde, and the replacements remaining in the factory today are J&E Hall.

• Thanks for pointing this out. I have copy edited the article to address this matter. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:03, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• I reviewed the paragraph. Thank you, yes, I think that is better. It makes it clear what the current compressors are and gives us at least part of the history of the Pontifex-Linde-J&E progression.144.47.162.55 (talk) 18:20, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
