 Roger D. Zeigler:
Working career: 45 Years Engineering, mechanical, architectural, structural, and automotive. Last 32 with Ford Motor Company Body Engineering Division. Starting with Ford in 1968 progressed through all departments in Body Engineering, at my request. Worked with computer graphics since 1980 designing automobiles and trucks. From 1992 until retirement controlling and coordinating data of all electrical wiring suppliers into Ford's computer system. My working career at Ford has been the most innovative, creative, fulfilling, fun jobs I have ever had. Hands on experience in the concept design studio, watching, helping create dream cars starting as lumps of clay come to life as the exotic muscle racer cobra and others, making their appearance during the yearly auto shows. In the 13 years prior to Ford I had the pleasure of working with a team of engineers designing elevators for many large cities including New York City's finest skyscrapers and San Francisco's department stores. Also as part of an engineering team designing rows of steel soaking pit furnaces (size of a small house) in the rolling mill buildings for Bethlehem Steel Company. |
