G. Frudd worked at ADM technology from 1976 – 1989. He sent us the photos above and below. These document some of his work at ADM during that period. Frudd started at ADM as the “console fitter,” previously having worked as a tool & die maker.

Frudd went on to run all of the mechanical shops- machine, cabinet, engraving, and fitting, eventually becoming the Mechanical Engineering Manager. Frudd was directly involved in the design of all consoles and rack products during that period.

G. Frudd: “In my time at ADM we transitioned the product from wood cabinet based to metal and extrusion based structures. It was a great and exciting place to work. After ADM’s demise I went on to be a mechanical designer and product line manager at several companies in the lighting and automation industries.”
