Richard F. Schumacher 

Principal Consultant 

R.S. Beratung LLC 

Dick Schumacher has been a long standing member of the Noise and Vibration Conference 

General Committee and has had a history of contributing to this conference. In 2007, he 

was the lead organizer for two important technical sessions: NVH Test Facilities and NVH 

Standards and Regulations. His outstanding leadership in working with the authors and 

reviewers of these sessions led to the development and presentation of important technical papers in these 

sessions. In addition, he created on his own initiative, reliable and easy to use timers for every session 

chairperson which allows the session chair and the author to stay on time during their presentations in a 

highly respectful and non-distracting way. 

Mr. Schumacher began his career in 1965 at the General Motors Proving Ground in Milford, MI where he 

worked through various noise measurement assignments until his retirement in 2002 as Manager of Vehicle 

Exterior Noise Compliance. Following retirement, he went on to establish his own consulting company R.S. 

Beratung in which he serves as the current principal. A member of SAE since 1977, Dick has served on a 

number of technical committees. These committees, including the Vehicle Sound Level Forum Committee, 

Exterior Sound Level Subcommittee and Instrumentation Subcommittee, provided an opportunity to develop 

a number of presentations that related the background and verification of several current SAE procedures. 

When Ralph Hillquist developed the idea of providing technical updates to the acoustic field, Dick was an 

organizer for the first Noise Measurement Workshops. For over 35 years he has continued to participate in 

the NV Conference as organizer, session chair and peer reviewer. He has also participated in several Institute 

of Noise Control Engineering (INCE) Conferences as well as the international INCE. 

The SAE and International Standards Organization committee work has lead to the development of many 

of the new and updated versions of the vehicle test procedures in use today by the automotive industry. In 

9993 Dick was named convenor for the ISO Working Group on Exterior Noise. With the support from SAE, 

this committee developed the first US lead updates to the United Nations vehicle noise procedure which 

allowed the automatic transmission vehicles to be tested comparable to the manual transmissions. Dick 

continues to participate in a number of SAE and ISO activities. 

Support the advancement of science, 

technology, engineering and 

mathematics education.

Lloyd L. Withrow Distinguished Speaker Award 

Description 

This award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated outstanding presentation skills. The intent of the 

award is to maintain a high level of presentations at SAE technical sessions by recognizing individuals who 

make outstanding presentations at those sessions. The recipient must have received the Oral Presentation 

Award more than twice to receive this award. 

Background 

Originally established in 1984 as the SAE Distinguished Speaker Award by the Engineering Meetings Board, 

the award name was changed to the SAE Lloyd L. Withrow Distinguished Speaker Award in 1993 to honor the 

late Lloyd L. Withrow. 

As Department Head of the GM Research Laboratories Fuels and Lubricants Department, Withrow mentored 

many engineers and contributed significantly to the fields of fuels and lubricants for automotive vehicles. His 

research on engine combustion from 1926 -1948 was a watershed that is still referenced and utilized. Both 

engineers and society in general have benefitted greatly over the years from his activities and his personality. 

Withrow died on December 9, 1992, only 5 days before his 93rd birthday. 

Withrow was an SAE Fellow and noted speaker at many SAE meetings. Through a request from several 

prominent SAE members, this award name was changed to recognize him for his outstanding communication 

skills and his continual insistence that those he supervised also develop and demonstrate excellent 

communication skills, both written and oral. 

The Award 

This award is administered by the Engineering Meetings Board and consists of a framed certificate which is 

presented at the Awards Ceremony during the SAE World Congress.
