RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING KEEP GENERAL ELECTRIC YEARS AHEAD
"ON TEST" AT GENERAL ELECTRIC
EACH year General Electric selects engineering college graduates and assigns them to the Testing Department. There they obtain a broad experience with a variety of apparatus and broad training in classroom and factory—to equip them for research, development, application, and manufacturing in the engineering field of their choice.
Upon being assigned to one of the Test sections, the new Test man assists others in testing equipment, and as he gains experience, he assumes more responsibility. He may be placed in charge of testing a piece of apparatus with newer Test men acting as his assistants. The groups wire, adjust, and make tests on standard equipment manufactured by the department in which they work.
Although he's part of a large organization, no Test man is allowed to get the feeling that it's an impersonal one. The Company provides facilities for recreation in various cities in which Test men work, as well as encouraging these men to join clubs that promote dances, hikes, tennis matches, golf, swimming, and other forms of recreation.
