"engineering is doing for 62 cents what any damnfool might do for a dollar."
This expression has been attributed to Henry Ford, but not verified. However,
> At the regular meeting of the electrical section of the Western Society of Engineers, held in the Monadnock Block, Chicago, Friday evening, January 13 [1905], Mr. Charles A. S. Howlett read a paper entitled "The Commercial Aspect of Engineering."
> Chairman Hale stated that while a well-trained engineer may be one who "can do with one dollar what any fool can do with two," if this engineer has no commercial training the chances are great that some commercial man will get 95 cents of the dollar, leaving the remaining 5 cents to the engineer as his reward.
