Tom,
I have a new addition for your list. I have some Hamilton literature coming with John Lewis's name on it.

I wrote it in Word & then made it into a pdf so I could post it a page at a time, it was too hard to try to format the typing to get it to come out looking right here.

I had planned on trying to make a pamphlet of what I found including the ads or articles identifying each person but it is kind of time consuming.

Still looking for more of these inspectors today. Ran across this article from 1898 that I don't recall hearing about. Apparently at one time a railroad wasn't going to allow gilt movements.

Here is an article from The Daily Review Sept. 19, 1903 where the Champaign Street Railway System was going to start watch inspection.

These are some additional watch inspectors from the ones kindly provided above & new ones I located.

When I think I have found all I am going to I will make a new complete list.

In the meantime be sure to check the main list & then these two pages for additions.
