He is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Ohio. He has had 40 years of Mechanical Engineering experience, 26 of which were with the General Motors Corporation. While there, he obtained U.S. Patent number 4,645,432, “Magnetic Drive Vehicle Coolant Pump”. He went on to become a leader in anti-friction bearing applications in both the automotive and industrial fields. Valuable experience was also gained in gears and mechanical power transmission. Prior to that he was employed by TRW, Cleveland, Ohio, where he was responsible for bearings, gears and mechanical power transmission in the aircraft and missile fields under the tutelage of Mr. Thomas Barish, a leading mechanical power transmission consultant. Also, Mr. Tata has authored 27 technical papers that are available on the internet and other sources for professional development hours. He is also the author of the book “The Development of U.S. Missiles During the Space Race with the U.S.S.R.”. It is based on his experience, early in his career, working as a Flight Test Engineer at Cape Canaveral, Florida during the Cold War with the U.S.S.R.. More recently, Mr. Tata has ventured outside the technical field in authoring his second book, “The Greatest American Presidents”. Following that is his third work, a part technical, part historical book titled “How Detroit became the ‘Automotive Capital of the World’ ”. The fourth book is a workbook sized publication titled “Mechanical Engineering Primer” complete with a multiple choice quiz for classroom use or any other party so inclined.view less
