Not sure I'm using the right tick -- I don't really know what they're all supposed to mean. Anyway... I think the source says fifty are known to survive in the US. Please check me on that. I share your concerns about the polemic, and that may be a serious problem. If that source doesn't itself cite a source, I'm not sure we should run with this hook -- lots of other fun facts to choose from, though!

Glad you agree. A dwindling number of people have even seen a mechanical watch, must less a pocket watch, and I like to think people are happy to learn about something from the past. Another:
Strictly speaking this implies that a single model had both features, about which I'm not sure, but I'm not bothered by that. On the other hand, if you can establish that "Model 221B" or something qualifies, adding something like that to the hook adds color. This hook should definitely run with the image.

Ready (see my earlier review) with ALT6D and the first image (not the bishop's crozier). References for the hooks accepted in good faith as I can't access it and the others were OK. Note to Doug Coldwell and EEng: I shall need more money on the next review as my estimate for this one did not cover the additional work that was required to strike out all the ALTs (Note to everybody else: this is a joke, I am not being paid to review. Or am I? No, I'm not. Or am I?)

Still ready. Just Doug and me mucking about after the initial tick.
