Owner

The owner of Aluminum Company of America [1]

Note the spelling on Halls patents here - http://www.fluoride-history.de/p-aluminum.htm

Spelling of Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania spelled its name Pittsburgh from its founding until 1891. The name was changed to Pittsburg, but it was changed back to Pittsburgh in 1911. By the criteria of what it was called when Hall went there in 1888 and of what it is called today, it should be spelled Pittsburgh

Number of siblings?

According to <a href="http://www.oberlinheritage.org/hall%20walking%20tour.pdf">this document (created by the Oberlin Historical Society)</a>, Hall had six siblings. Yet this article says he had four siblings. Which is correct? --tgeller 02:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Biography

The timeline of events makes no sense. If CMH attends a lecture in his second term at Oberlin (~1880 or 1881) then how can he see the aluminum sample obtained by Jewett during Jewett's studies in Germany (1883-1885)? The article also strongly implies that CMH's initial experiments in 1881 were inspired by Jewett's lecture/aluminum sample, so that further muddies the water.
