Early life [link]

Delmar Roos was born in the Bronx and attended Manual Training High School, Brooklyn, New York, then studied for degrees in electrical and mechanical engineering at Cornell University. He gained distinction as a photographer —a picture he took of a three-horse fire-engine team was syndicated throughout the world^[2]— and as an athlete (winning the intercollegiate and national fencing championships).^[1]^:p248 He has been described as tall, well built and handsome, and a brilliant conversationalist on art, drama, economics, politics and science.

On graduating from Cornell in 1911, he joined General Electric and worked under Sanford Alexander Moss on steam, gas turbine and centrifugal compressor development. In 1913 he went to Locomobile as assistant research engineer. In 1919, he was assistant to Pierce-Arrow's David Fergusson and succeeded him briefly as chief engineer in 1921 before rejoining Locomobile as chief engineer. After an intermediate stint with Marmon in 1925, he succeeded Guy P Henry as Studebaker's chief engineer in 1926.

He was married to the former Frances Schreiner. They had one daughter.

Work at Studebaker [link]

Barney Roos joined Studebaker just as that company's Detroit, Michigan operation was being transferred to South Bend, Indiana. He oversaw the relocation of the entire engineering department and personnel into a new building. He redesigned the Standard Six and Big Six engines and made other changes to the 1927 model range.

Roos had considerable experience with eight-cylinder engines, having designed the Locomobile Junior Eight and the Marmon Little Eight. Neither was outstanding but the extensive basis of experimentation gave rise to the Studebaker straight-eights, beginning with the President Eight, announced in January 1928.^[1]^:p238

Later life [link]

Roos died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the age of 71.
