Research and career
editBailey served as an electrician's mate in the Navy, in the midst of his college studies. After MIT he took a position at Caterpillar Tractor Company and then moved to the National Research Council of the Academy of Science. In 1955 he moved to Boston to take a position with Lessells and Associates[2] where he rose to the position of president. As president he guided Lessells and Associates through its acquisition by Teledyne. He retired as President of Teledyne Engineering Services in 1986.[1] He was a President of the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis (SESA) (now Society for Experimental Mechanics) from 1967 to 1969.[3] Bailey was named an Honorary Member of the Society in 1992, a position held until his death in 2021.[4]
