Improved article[edit]

Clarified and added more details of Ericson's early life. Altered his "personbox" to an "engineerbox" using standard template. Added some extra info of his railway career from the Wikipage on history of Swedish railways. He deserves a better, expanded biography of his career but I don't have a book about him (his autobiography for example) to refer to, so I've left it at this imtermediate "improved" stage for others to take further someday. But at least it explains his "place in history" a little better. A very gifted man (as was his brother), considering his lack of formal education. Pete Hobbs (talk) 04:26, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
