     I am posting this per request by my father.  This WP document
I converted to generic text does not do the hard copy any justice.
It is being posted on 11/9/92.  

     Please do not contact me or reply via e-mail to this post unless
absolutely necessary.  We live about 150 miles apart and it would be hard 
to deliver a message.  If you have any questions, please direct them to his
home phone.  There is an answering machine and it is checked frequently on
a daily basis.  

     Thank you for taking the time to review this cover letter and
resume.

To whom it may concern:

I would like to explore an engineering opportunity with a company which 
can use someone who can think outside of the common design paradigms when 
new approaches are required to solve problems and save cost.  German 
language was my minor at Indiana University, so any German company or 
one which does business in Germany would be a definite plus.

Most of my design background is in material handling, which includes screw 
conveyors, food handling conveyors, belt conveyors, can conveyors, custom 
machines and process devices, and, most recently, silo unloading systems 
and machines utilizing CAD and conventional design methods.  In addition, 
I have much professional experience and skill at creating operation and 
maintenance manuals, some jig and fixture tool design, and special machine 
design.   

If you need an innovative self starter, who thrives on a broad range of 
responsibilities with a wide array of professional skills and experience, 
then we need to talk. I feel I would fit your company needs and make both 
immediate and long term contributions.

Please feel free to call me at (219) 936-5485.  I am looking forward to 
hearing from you.

Yours truly,


Robert L. Wagner
