Shupper-Brickle President, Andrew Litecky, volunteered to speak
about the physics of hoisting, pulleys, and mechanical advantage at the Emily
Warren Roebling Engineering Summer Camp in Roebling, New Jersey. The camp,
sponsored by PSE&G and the Give Back Foundation, invited eleven to
thirteen-year-olds to explore the mechanics of bridge building and other
engineering principles at the Roebling Museum, the historic site of the former
Roebling mill and wire rope factory.
“It’s always a
pleasure to share my everyday knowledge and experience with the next generation.
You never know what might spark their imagination and inspire future engineers,”
said Mr. Litecky
The Roebling
Museum, located in central New Jersey, shares the history of the family who
pioneered the design of suspensions bridges and catalogs the culture of a small
factory town. It is open to the public and hosts various educational and
historical events throughout the year. More information is available on the
museum web site: www.roeblingmuseum.org
