I read the biography about LaTourno (spelling?) and was impressed by his achievements. It's rare that a guy can come for absolutely nothing and then build and lose several fortunes. I know he invented quite a few things, and would love to see some pics of his equipment if you have any.

here is a few

HE Operator. Surprise?
Actually that company has alot of those setups. Seems they do alot of street work under the power wires for trams/street cars so the lower they can get the boom but still have reach the better. I'll see if I can find those pictures of the 385 with a demo setup. The thing had a MASSIVELY long boom and a little tiny stick.
