engineers don't write that way anymore, but shows that Homer thought
in terms of engineering. Homer must has had a lot of engineers savy due
to his knowledge of flail, CF, venturi affects etc. I love the guy and his
works no matter what his education, but would be interested work status
at Boeing. I guess that I have missinformed people telling them that Homer
was a designer on the B17 and that the Boeing executives asked Homer
to figure out the golf swing and this is where Homer got his start on Golf.
Homer was NOT an engineer at Boeing. He was in charge of engineers and the production of aircraft. He even taught many of them as an instructor, new ways to solve problems. He re-designed the production process for efficiently. No aircraft left them plant without being signed off by Mr. Kelley.
Homer began has quest to solving his golf issues before he worked for Boeing. He thought it would take a few days. Luckily for us- he never tired when a new set of variables were exposed. Homer was unique.
