Yeah, possibly before 1916(not 2016); maybe in 1915 when his only son & heir, Ernst Lindner, fell in fierce fighting w/ the Brits in June 1915. With the huge loss & the gravity of the situation, I would say H.A. Lindner put things in final form pretty quick. It may have taken him a year to fill orders and to find subcontractors / mechanics to do the work.

Joseph Gales of Schoverling, Daly & Gales expired almost a year later on June 3rd, 1916 Direktor Frederic J. Wilbur passed sometime in 1914, so the Schoverling, Daly & Gales - Lindner Train is coming to an Abrupt Halt as coupled w/WWI, it is the Perfekt Storm that prompts the sound of the Death Knell for Lindner - Daly.
