			Hello fellow Wikipedians,

			I have just modified one external link on [[Science and invention in Birmingham]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=782105280 my edit].

	::::::Hi Peter, I've added the pre 17th Century section as a very condensed bit about some of the more interesting developments of the town in this era. The mention of trades kind of links to the later innovations in metal work. I have a few more bits to add to the main article and then I shall take a step back I think, I need a wiki-holiday. Jimmy, I tend to agree that the two articles could be combined. A history of Trade & Industry could become quite an article and what I woudl suggest, is rather than creating a time line, maybe an article with various trades listed would suit better. For instance, a section on "Glass Manufacture" could cover lenses, cameras, uranium glass etc. A section on "Plastics" or "Chemicals" could include the invention of Celluloid it by Parkes, production of Bakelite, and other moulding companies, the same for "Engineering" etc. This could be better to include present day manufacturing in the city.

	::Thanks Clem, sorry it has taken so long for me to reply. I will add an intro as you suggest as I have some more facts on this as well which is specific to invention in the city, I did suggest changing the title of this read 'Science and Innovation In Birmingham' some time ago but it was met with low response so I left it. I think it would be a major job to change the title now but maybe a task for the future. I'm starting to add images to create more depth, and trying also to change the tenses to present a more 'as it happens' feel to the article. The hardest part is making sure the patents and inventions are worthy and notable of inclusion, this can be done in part by visiting the articles linked to and doing a bit of digging, in some cases articles are having to be updated to reflect this article.
