Intel MCS-48
→Variants: As per talk page, "OTP EPROM" is surely just "PROM"... especially if programmed at the factory. Also, are we seriously using fixed-width mode and spaces to format the columns?!

Battle of the Beams
→X-Gerät: Late 1940 to mid-late 1943 is quiiiiiite a long time when you take it in context of the whole of WW2 - and indeed how quickly the Luftwaffe developed the technique in the first place.

→Description: Are you at all serious? Please explain the reasoning behind this one. Just because an incandescent bulb demands more current doesn't mean it's brighter; power consumption by itself isnt a benefit. And LEDs can't be tightly focussed?! Eh?

1977 Chicago Loop derailment
→Collision: In the initial moments, the distinction between the front four and rear four cars wouldn't have been as plain as it was after the accident played out. They just happened to be the ones that fell.

1977 Chicago Loop derailment
→Collision: Some strange writing there. I doubt the motorman left by himself, for a start. Also, with the previous confusion over where the crash happened, why not mention the "a station" by name? (Initial edits then mandated domino-style cleanup...)
