1985 Press Photo Orley Meyer Inc. worker prepares a crane for shipment to Boeing

At Orley Meyer Inc., 2250 S. 170th St., a specialized top-mounted 360-degree swing jib crane was readied for shipment to Boeing Aircraft for use in a test laboratory. The crane has a second arm mounted off the main jib boom that enables it to reach into tight spaces. Orley Meyer moved into 1985 with the best outlook in four years, said Donovan Meyer, president. With a backlog equal to 50% of its budgeted annual output, the company has geared up for higher production with a two-shift operation.
