Many sources, incl. this one indicate that he was born on June 14 and died on Jnuary 28, so I am correcting the dates.
why would the source dates be wrong? people may have simply changed the date of death to patent some of his discoveries. dicoveries that he may not have made.
[edit] Name?
The U.S. patents clearly state his name was spelt with a "c", not a "k". As in, "Nicolaus August Otto". - victorvp 00:00, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- May I add to this that he applied and recieved patents in 1877, not 1876. - victorvp 00:00, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I discovered I am related to Nicolaus via his sister. Where can I obtain additional biographical information?
- Google? A library?
I am one of the fifth nieces of Nicolaus I am the grand daughter of Judy Otto. and it's so nice to go on the computer and find out so much of this man I'm proud to be an Otto Jeanell Nelson
[edit] First to invent the internal-combustion engine?
According to this site, http://ia.essortment.com/nikolausaugust_rcoe.htm, Etienne Lenoir invented the very first internal-combustion engine running on expensive gas. Nicolaus Otto is the first to invent a four-stroke internal combustion engine powered by liquid fuel.
[edit] Allocation of text
A lot of the information in this article (e.g. about Daimler, Maybach and Benz) is about the development of the internal combustion engine rather than about Otto himself. I think these parts of the article should be moved to Internal combustion engine. Biscuittin 15:05, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
