Neat Edit Summary[edit]
I saw the article photo for Telecommunications engineering had a caption edited to "January 1942 at the end of the war".
Removing the silly trailing phase left me this version of the article and I wanted a nice edit summary.
A quick google search of unicode typopgraphy remove showed a neat delete right keyboard key, ⌦ .
Finding that this was called "ERASE TO THE RIGHT" ⌦ (U+2326), I used the site's own google search for "ERASE TO THE". After scrolling down past the ads, I was rewarded with "ERASE TO THE LEFT" ⌫(U+232B).
All this to make the Edit summary (Revert photo caption edit 19:02, 7 December 2019 . "January 1942⌦ at the end of the war⌫").

Lazy Eight in fields outside of Mathematics[edit]
Plan for disambiguating Lazy Eight. As of 21 May 2010, Lazy Eight refers to VistaVision. There are many other meanings. Including:
Livestock branding (type of brand) Infinity (symbol) Airplane Maneuver see: CT-134 Musketeer.

I think it might make sense to link in cultural references to infinity symbol.
In particular, I've seen the "Lazy Eight" reference to infinity reflected
in Aviation [1], Cinema Lazy_Eight#History, Livestock branding, and even in Science Fiction. In Science Fiction, Larry Niven used the "Lazy Eight" as the name of a series of ships in his Known Space series of stories.

OCR Text: The circumstances which led to the connection of Mr. Abram S. Hewitt with the Cooper family have a tinge of romance about them. Edward Cooper was a student in Columbia College. Mr. Hewitt, two years his senior, was his tutor. In 1811 Peter Cooper decided to send his son on a tour in Europe, and engaged Mr. Hewitt to accompany him. They were shipwrecked, and picked up from off a floating spar in mid ocean by a passing vessel after experiencing terrible perils aud sufferings. This fellowship of danger naturally cemented their friendship, and on their return Mr. Cooper associated Mr. Hewitt with him in his business. He developed remarkable capacity for managing the affairs of the concern, and the firm of Cooper & Hewitt, which was soon after formed, grew to be one of the most extensive and prosperous iron houses in the United States. Mr. Hewitt with characteristic pride and independence lived frugally and exclusively upon his own earnings from the beginning. He acquired wealth with considerable rapidity, but he is indebted solely to his own energy and capacity for all that be has ever received. When his means sufficed be married the only daughter of Peter Cooper, and thus became a member of the family as well as a principal of the firm. He has always kept his city residence at the home of his father-in-law, although he has a fine country seat in a neighboring town in New Jersey. Peter Cooper occupies a large plain double house on the corner of Lexington Avenue aud 22d street, one block above Gramercy Park. His son Edward lives on the opposite corner. These houses were built by Mr. Cooper some twenty-five years ago. Cyrus W. Field’s house adjoins that of Peter Cooper, being located on the corner of 21st street and Lexington Avenue. David Dudley Field lives next door to them. Their houses front Gramercy Park. On the opposite side—20th street—stands Mr. Tilden's vast bachelor mansion, with grounds in the rear extending to 19th street. His next door neighbor is Clarkson N. Potter. These geographical notes are worthy of record in view of the prominent part Gramercy Park has been made to play in the history of recent political events and revelations. . . [...About the Democratic (Reform) slate for upcoming 1879 New York City Mayoral Election...] It would certainly be a graceful act for the electors of the metropolis to manifest their reverence for so excellent a citizen by bestowing the Chief Magistracy upon the son, who inherits his father’s virtues without sharing his weaknesses. The nomination is a most judicious one, and ought to be crowned with success. The other candidates [...] . .

Erkine Hewitt as decedent of Robert Erskine:[edit]
| “ | Other purchases The outstanding purchase of the year was a large-scale manuscript map by Erskine, the first geographer of the Revolutionary Army. One of the annotations upon the back, designating it as "Gen. Greens Map of "Vest Point and Adjacent Country," indicates that "it probably belonged in 1781 to Gen. Nathanael Greene. The map shows the roads, trails, villages, taverns, iron mines, forges, and furnaces in the region from "Newborough" (Newburgh), N. Y., southward to the "Lutheran Church" and "Capt. Board's" in northern New Jersey. Topography is indicated by hachures. The map was "copied from Surveys laid down by Ro. Erskine, F. R. S. 1778-1779." Last year we secured a photostat copy of a strikingly similar map from Erskine Hewitt, of New York City, one of the descendents of Robert Erskine. This indicates that the map was sufficiently useful so that it was duplicated by hand after Erskine's death for the use of the army staff. | ” |

New York, June 27.—With the purchase of 640 additional acres of land from the estate of Abram S. Hewitt of Plum Island, effected by United States District Attorney Pettit, the last step toward the completion of the government reservation at the eastern end of Long Island has been taken. Sixty-four thousand seven hundred dollars was paid for the land. Now that the necessary territory for the government post has been acquired, work will be immediately begun upon the construction of the garrison and defenses. The post on Plum Island, in conjunction with Fort Wright, the post directly opposite on Fisher's Island, at the entrance to Long Island sound, is expected to form the chief link in the chain of defenses to New York city, the second link being just beyond Hell Gate, with Fort Schuyler on the side and the fort at Willett's Point on the other.

The committee of guarantors consisting of Messrs Smith Vanderbilt Butler and Dunn not only guaranteed to the American Express Company in Genoa the letters of credit travelers checks and personal checks of those of their fellow passengers who were unknown to the American Express Company but they also assumed the obligation to meet the deficiency which resulted from the difference between the passage money paid by the 399 passengers and the chartered price of the ship In round numbers this deficiency amounted to 40,000 dollars . <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=iJA2AAAAMAAJ&vq=gayley&dq=mrs.%20gano%20dunn%20gardiner&pg=PA12&ci=178%2C346%2C691%2C312&source=bookclip"><img src="https://books.google.com/books?id=iJA2AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA12&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U1MvO1aNX6mzYXevTTv9CKYib60-g&ci=178%2C346%2C691%2C312&edge=0"/></a>Among refugees future wife Mrs Gardiner Gayleyand and step-daughter : Miss Florence Gayley

The ship is named for "niliraga" in Sanskrit meaning "an affection as unchangeable as the color of indigo".
... In 1928 Gano Sillick Dunn had "Niliraga", an Alden-designed forty-three-foot centerboard schooner, built by Goudy & Stevens in East Boothbay, Maine. The Dunns rented a summer cottage, "Little White Hen" on Sutton Island. After Julia Thurston (Gardiner) Gayley Dunn died in 1937, Gano moved off Sutton Island and summered aboard "Niliraga" using his stepdaughter, Agnes Malcom (Gayley) Gerrish#039;s cottage, "The Haven" in Northeast Harbor, as his land base.. A succession of local men served Mr. Dunn as cooks aboard "Niliraga." ... When Gano Sillick Dunn died in 1953 he left "Niliraga" to Agnes Malcolm (Gayley) Milliken's sister, Florence "Folly" (Gayley) Montgomery, Mrs. Henry Eglinton Montgomery (1889-1975). More interested than her sister, Agnes Milliken managed "Niliraga."

Abram S. Hewitt, Edwin Augustus Stevens, and the Great Eastern[edit]
April, 1867
Abram S. Hewitt traveled aboard the SS Great Eastern when Edwin Augustus Stevens and his family were also travelling to Europe. Stevens had just executed his will, including the bequest for the founding of what would become Stevens Institute of Technology. When the economically challenged Great Eastern was supplied with anthracite coal after the supply of bituminous coal was consumed, Hewitt and Stevens found themselves called upon:
“ There was not a stoker on board who had ever used anthracite coal or indeed had ever seen it. The Captain, Sir James Anderson, came to us and said, "We cannot get along. We have burned up all the coal, and that ⸻ (using a nautical phrase) that stuff we have down there won't burn. Can you tell me what to do?" So Mr. Stevens and I, old as he was and young as I was then, crawled down through many devious passages until we reached the boiler room and there found a very discouraged lot of people, who were trying to burn anthracite coal in the same manner as they would burn bituminous coal. Of course the fire went out, and you will be surprised to learn that he and I, and mostly he, spent nearly two days in the boiler room, teaching the stokers how to burn anthracite coal, which we succeeded in doing and were finally landed at Brest. ” Great Eastern overhauled for European Departure of March 20, 1867: Various (2013-03-28).

Man hath indeed wrought far more than strikes the eye in this daring undertaking, by the general judgment of engineers, without a rival among the wonders of human skill. It is not the work of any one man or of any one age. It is the result of the study, of the experience, and of the knowledge of many men in many ages. It is not merely a creation; it is a growth. It stands before us today as the sum and epitome of human knowledge; as the very heir of the ages; as the latest glory of centuries of patient observation, profound study and accumulated skill, gained, step by step, in the never-ending struggle of man to subdue the forces of nature to his control and use. ... Will the bridge lead, as has been forcibly suggested and in some quarters hopefully anticipated, to the further union of the two cities under one name and one government? This suggestion is in part sentimental and in part practical.- ^ a b "Mr. Hewitt's Peril at Sea; Wreck of Alabmian in 1844 Gave Her Passengers a Narrow Escape".

Fifty years later, July 12, 1894, Mr. Hewitt, Edward Cooper and Captain George B. Raymond celebrated the escape of Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Cooper from death. The Alabamian sailed from Leghorn, was boarded by a Delaware pilot within twenty miles of Cape May. She had been desperately racked by storms, and when another violent storm arose she was unable to resist it, and at dawn on December 12 her captain concluded to abandon her. Captain George B. Raymond commanded the Atalanta, which rescued her crew and passengers.{{cite news}}: CS1 maint: url-status (link)- ^ Cite error: The named reference

Passengers on an Incoming Knoxville & Ohio River Railroad train rode several miles this afternoon with the hand of a corpse at the throttle of the engine. The train left Buckeye, Tenn., on time and ran through to Careyvllle, the next station. When Engineer A. C. Young ran through the latter town Fireman Matlock knew something was wrong and stepped to the engineer's side of the engine. He found Young dead and immediately stopped the train. There is a wound on the left side of the engineer's head, and the supposition is that a piece of rock fell from the side of a high cut through the mountains and killed him instantly. The train ran perhaps eight miles after Young was killed.{{cite news}}:|volume=has extra text (help); Cite has empty unknown parameter:|1=(help)Taft and Philippines[edit]

The general regret of the Filipino people at the possible departure of Governor Taft resulted to-day in a popular demonstration for the purpose of urging the Governor to remain in the islands.. The streets of Manila have been placarded with signs saying, "We want Governor Taft," in English, Tagalo and Spanish. A crowd of 8,000 men marched to Malacanan Palace, the Governor's residence, today. Upon reaching the palace speeches were made by representatives of the Federal, Liberal and National parties, in which the Governor was urged to remain. The speakers said Mr. Taft's presence was necessary to preserve order, for the prevention of political disruption and to insure the maintenance of the present policy. The speakers paid personal tributes to the Governor, the crowd cheering its approval. In replying to the addresses Governor Taft said it would not be decided at present whether he would leave the islands or remain until next August.{{cite journal}}:|volume=has extra text (help); Cite has empty unknown parameter:|1=(help)
