GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)

It is reasonably well written:
The lead sections should be expanded to give a concise summary of the whole article. See WP:LEAD for a bit more on this.

"came in sizes up to seven and a half feet wide by fifty feet long." -- use the {{convert}} template for our friends on the metric system if you could.

Any idea who the original founders of the Haskelite company was, or who provided the capital for it? I see some names in the infobox that should be discussed.

"The plant was located on 107 acres of land near the Fuller Station." -- again, convert template here.

How much did the facility cost?

Convert 50 mph, I think knots would be preferred for a seaborne vehicle.

Some of the Haskelite Manufacturing Corporation references can be shortened, to the company or the factory or something like that.
Any numbers on revenue, volume produced or number of employees? Again seeing an employee number in the infobox but not a date or anything like that.
It is factually accurate and verifiable:
Seeing plenty of refs.
It is broad in its coverage:
Pass no problems.
It follows the neutral point of view policy:
Pass No problems there.
It is stable:
Pass No problems there.
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
All images look appropriately tagged for copyright.
Other:
Dup links, external links, copyvio and dup links tools all look good.

Source spotcheck Refs 6, 16, 30 all match up to what's cited in the article.

On hold pending some improvements. —Ed!^(talk) 01:16, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ed!: I believe I have answered all the issues you brought up. Can you look it over. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:36, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work on this one! Passing GA. —Ed!^(talk) 13:54, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
