(Put yourself in this student engineer’s shoes
for a minute as he asks a Burroughs representative
some important questions.)
QWhat do you mean I’ll start "in the thick of
, * things"!
I mean you’ll start on the work you’re
* trained for; you won’t be a man who gets
lost in a shuffle. -
Q What kind of work would be open to me at
Burroughs!
Research and development in ballistic
missiles, electronics, computation, data pro
cessing, optics, magnetics, communications
and electro-mechanics—to mention a few.
Will all my work be in defenseT
A. No. Burroughs is a worldwide leader in the
business machines and data processing fields.
Of course, we’ve many defense contracts too.
And that involves fascinating work in
mechanics, electro-mechanics and electronics.
Q Are all your plants in Detroit?
- A. No. We’re really on a global scale. Detroit’s
the home office, of course. Our big research
center’s in Pennsylvania. We have plants in
New York, Michigan, New Jersey, California
and Pennsylvania in the U. S., and in Canada,
Great Britain, France and Brazil.
