Page "hobbies" Paragraph 990

The company expects to extend upward both compensation and status for non-supervisory engineers, but probably not into executive levels.

In this organization, about half of the engineers with 15 or more years of employment are in supervision, engineering or elsewhere.

This reflects the very heavy engineering content of the products -- which are not military.

Several other examples: central and satellite

`` We have over 20 divisions -- each of which has an engineering department headed by a chief engineer.

We have set up a central R & D department, as well as engineering-management departments -- about 80 people working on problems related to those of our plants.

A separate research department is, of course, confined to new or future designs.

Part of this headquarters staff, however, are engineering managers who work between divisional chief engineers and headquarters management.

These headquarters engineers, headed by the vice-president -- Engineering, counsel and advise divisional managers and chief engineers on product problems as well as aid with design ; ;

and many are engineers who have been advanced from the divisions.

These men are considered managers of engineers.

They must learn to wear several hats, so to speak, working with management, sales and engineering problems related to the product.
