The American Society for Mechanical Engineers requested a set of displays in their office to showcase the stories of historic engineers. I was essential to the development of 20 poles with rotating displays to exhibit these stories. Knowing that this display was going to be viewed mostly by other engineers we wanted a design that celebrated a unique cam mechanism.
