What young people are doing at General Electric
Young engineer
is responsible for
design analysis
of $3,000,000
turbine-generators
The average large steam turbine-generator
costs $3,000,000 and takes two years to build.
■** It is one of the biggest pieces of electrical
equipment made. Yet its thousands of parts
are put together as carefully as a fine watch.
Even a small change in design can affect the
stresses and vibration of the turbine, and
the way it performs. At General Electric,
several men share the responsibility of pre
dicting those effects before the turbine is
built. One of them is 29-year-old E. E.
Zwicky, Jr.
His job: analytical engineer
Here’s what Ted Zwicky does. He takes
a proposed mechanical design feature, de
scribes it mathematically, breaks it down
into digestible bits, modifies it, and feeds it
to electronic computers. (It may take two
months to set up a problem; the computers
usually solve it in twenty minutes.) Then
Zwicky takes the answers from the com
puters, translates and interprets them so they
can be followed by design engineers.
23,000 college graduates at General Electric
This is a responsible job. Zwicky was readied
for it in a careful program of development.
Like Zwicky, each of our 23,000 college
graduate employees is given a chance to find
the work he does best and to realize his full
potential. Eor General Electric believes this:
When young minds are given freedom to
make progress, everybody benefits—the in
dividual, the company, and the country.
TED ZWICKY, B. S. in EE from the Uni
versity of New Mexico, Class of 1945,
joined General Electric after a year
in the Navy, completed our Advanced
Engineering Program in 1950.
