THE CLAIMS THIS SECTION DOES NOT RETELL
Four of Fort Wayne's most-repeated oddities are worked in full — telling, teller and record side by side — in the Stories Told section of this history, and are entered here in one line each so this drawer is complete: that Fort Wayne stood seventh on Hitler's bombing list; that Fort Wayne invented the refrigerator in 1913; that Fort Wayne hosted the first night baseball game, in 1883; and that the Magnavox Odyssey was invented in Fort Wayne — a claim whose record is genuinely double, since the Odyssey's Fort Wayne engineering and production are documented in the Business section while its conception, Ralph Baer's Brown Box, belongs to Sanders Associates in New Hampshire. The Woman in White of the Main Street bridge and the Embassy Theatre's stage-manager ghost stand in the same ledger, and in the Folklore section. Each of those entries prints what is told and what the record shows, and leaves the two side by side — which is this section's whole method, applied at length there.
Sources: the Stories Told (The stories section) section of this history — the Hitler bombing-list claim; the 1913 refrigerator claim; the 1883 night-baseball claim; the Odyssey claim, with the Business section's Magnavox record; the Woman in White and Embassy ghost entries; the Folklore section.
