Daimler went to work for Maschinenfabrik Daniel Straub,[REF] Geislingen an der Steige, where he designed tools, mills, and turbines.
When in 1872 N.A. Otto and Cie[REF] reorganized as Gasmotoren-Fabrik Deutz, management picked Daimler as factory manager, bypassing even Otto, and Daimler joined the company in August, bringing in Maybach as chief designer [REF].
