Thank you to Dick Besola for sending this great old image of Crane Engineering. According to Dick, the original portion of the building was built in 1925 and was supposed to be the first machine shop south of Jacksonville at the time. Harvey Crane Sr. used to do Dick's machine shop work before Harvey Jr. started making the cams.

Harvey Jr. is on the left, his wife is 5th to the right, and Dick believes that Jim Carson (3rd from the right) and Perry Kime (on the right end) are on the right side in the dark uniforms. The others are identified by Al in his comments below (thanks Al!).
