The German Historical Institute in Washington, DC has published a short biographical article on Albert Fink that can be found here: http://www.immigrantentrepreneurship.org/entry.php?rec=21 Immigrantentrep (talk) 15:30, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm working on incorporating some of this information into the article. Thellomerca (talk) 13:21, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Fink as one of the first second-generation bridge engineers of the 19th century

Stephen Harriman Long and Howe were engineers who worked primarily in the area of timber and timber/iron trusses. Fink, a German-trained engineer, was instrumental in the development of iron railroad bridge systems. The article has high value for civil engineers and the public, but can benefit from reworking. The chronology and technical claims should be reconciled across both pages (Fink truss and Fink bio) so Wikipedia does not tell two different histories of the same technology.

I use LLMs to assist my editing, such as Grammarly and ChatGPT (August 2026), all in conformance with the current Wikipedia policy on LLM use, Wikipedia:Writing articles with large language models.
