 
Fastpack
Data-Veyors Corporation
Oakland, California
Incorporated in 1962, and produced small side-loading refuse bodies under the Fastpack name. Body sizes were 7.5, 10 and 13-cubic yards. Unlike many small side loaders, Fastback used a full-stroke, three-stage telescopic cylinder which delivered 43,000 pounds packing force. Thus, these packers delivered very high payloads for their size.
Data-Veyors Corporation was perhaps best known for mechanical office equipment, including the Data-Veyor, a card-conveyor system seen in the LAPD dispatch center in the opening credits of the TV show Adam-12. Data Veyors was purchased by Diebold, and the Fastpack refuse body division was sold to a company called SWEPCO, also based in Oakland. Rear loaders, stationary packers and roll-offs were listed, bearing a strong resemblance to Wayne products, but no link between the two companies has been verified. Fastpack disappeared sometime in the 1970s.
