William A. Hanley

William Andrew Hanley (1886 – December 13, 1966) was an American mechanical engineer, business executive in Indianapolis, and 60th president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1940-1941.[1]

Hanley was born in Greencastle, Indiana in 1886 to Michael T. Hanley and Catherine (Connell) Hanley.[2] After attending Saint Joseph's College, he obtained his BSc from Purdue University in 1911.[1] He had started as apprentice at the Republic Steel Corporation and the at Broderick Boiler Company, before going to the Purdue University. After graduation he joined the Eli Lilly and Company, a manufacturing company of medicinal products. He worked his way up from supervisor, and head of the engineering division to director.[1]

In 1940-41 he served as president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In 1937 the Purdue University awarded him the honorary doctorate in engineering.[2]

gollark: ```GoalsThese goals may change or be refined over time as I experiment with what is possible with the language. Embeddable - Similiar to Lua - it is meant to be included in another program which may use the virtual machine to extend its own functionality. Statically typed - The language uses a Hindley-Milner based type system with some extensions, allowing simple and general type inference. Tiny - By being tiny, the language is easy to learn and has a small implementation footprint. Strict - Strict languages are usually easier to reason about, especially considering that it is what most people are accustomed to. For cases where laziness is desired, an explict type is provided. Modular - The library is split into parser, typechecker, and virtual machine + compiler. Each of these components can be use independently of each other, allowing applications to pick and choose exactly what they need.```
gollark: That's rude.

gollark: Well, yes, it has an interpreter and stuff.
