Mr. Crutcher and CCI invented the “Automatic Pipe Welding Machine” that revolutionized laying of pipelines and enabled at least four times faster welding of pipeline connections and was used to help build The Alaskan Pipeline and tens of thousands of miles of pipeline both offshore and on land.
In the mid 1960's Crutcher-Rolf-Cummings merged with M.J. Crose Manufacturing and operated as CRC-Crose International until sometime in the 70's when they became Crutcher Resources Corp. In the mid 60s Jerry Nelson (who had been the engineer working on the Battelle project) approached CRC with an idea for a new and improved system. He purposed to make a system that would be composed of a bevel facing machine, an internal line-up clamp/welding machine to deposit the root pass and then external welders run on bands clamped to the pipe OD. This was the foundation of the CRC Automatic Welding System and it remains essentially unchanged today.
The CRC welding system had some growing pains. Welding parameters were then poorly understood, the operators were not welders and needed to have extensive training and like most new technology, it was not readily accepted in the industry. Finally some trial runs were made and welding parameters were improved and the operators became proficient. In about 1983 CRC Pipeline International broke away from Crutcher Resources Corp and became a privately held operation.

AUSTRALIAN LAND & CATTLE COMPANY
Australian Land & Cattle Company (ALCCO) was incorporated in Western Australia in 1969 by Jack Miller Fletcher and Carey Crutcher, after extensive research to engage in irrigation farming, ranching, feedlotting of cattle and export marketing. With property over 6,700 square miles, and comprising of several stations, the heart of its program was the Camballin Irrigation Farm along the Fitzroy River.

Liveringa
Liveringa or Liveringa Station, often referred to as Upper Liveringa Station, is a pastoral lease in Western Australia that once operated as a sheep station but presently operates as a cattle station.
The Australian Land and Cattle Company was incorporated in 1969 in Western Australia by Jack Miller Fletcher and Carey Crutcher.[8] At its height, the company owned seven prime Kimberley stations covering nearly 20,000 square kilometres (7,722 sq mi) and carrying 100,000 head of cattle.[9] Among the properties acquired were Camballin and Liveringa stations. At Liveringa the company cleared 25,000 hectares (61,776 acres) of land to grow sorghum under flood irrigation; the crop was then used in company feedlots to fatten cattle.[10] In 1972 the last of the sheep were sold off to stations in the Pilbara and the only stock remaining were cattle.
