Continental R-670

In the info box, for some reason it had a link saying it was powered by a "Continental automobile W-670 seven-cylinder gasoline engine". The link took you to the page for Continental Motors Company, which produced engines for cars and tractors and such. But the "W-670" is the company designation for the Continental R-670 radial aircraft engine, which belongs to Continental Aircraft Engine Company, aka Continental Motors, Inc, and was a popular aircraft engine. It has nothing to do with the old Continental Motors Company or any automobile, unless perhaps they were given a production contract for the version used to power land-vehicles during the war. So I've changed the link to Continental R-670, since that is the engine it is describing, and taken out the mis-leading reference to "automobile engine". If people wish to read about Continental Aircraft Engine Company, they can click on the link on that page. There is also a link on that page if they find themselves curious about Continental Motors Company and their line of automobiles and tractor engines. They will not find any Continental Automobile powered by a 7-cylinder engine, in any case. .45Colt 11:07, 2 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt (talk • contribs)

Photo of "Civil War" veterans

I doubt those were Civil War veterans. If someone was 18 in 1865, the last year of the Civil War, they would have been born in 1847, which makes them all 92 or older in 1939, when this photo was taken. So possible, but unlikely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimindc (talk • contribs) 12:55, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
