ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER                                                    

This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock of The Raymond      
Corporation, a New York corporation, Greene, New York.            

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND                                                

     On May 7, 1996 George G. Raymond, Jr. filed a Schedule 13D which stated
the following:                                                    

On May 3, 1996 at a meeting of the Board of Directors of Raymond  
Corporation, Mr. George Raymond, a Director, advised that he was  
      considering a number of alternatives directed at maximizing the value of
    his direct and beneficial holdings of Raymond Corporation Common Stock
    and to facilitate his personal Estate Planning.  Mr. Raymond indicated
     that some of these alternatives involved disposition of his interest as
a block to one or more buyers which could result in a "change of  
   control" as that term is used under the Federal Securities laws.  Mr.
      Raymond specifically asked whether the Board of Directors was interested
      in a sale of the Corporation as a whole as a benefit to all shareholders
      equally and was subsequently advised that the Board as a whole generally
  had no such interest.  Mr.  Raymond is continuing to explore various
     options available including sales at the market, a registered secondary
     offering, negotiated sale to one or more strategic or financial buyers,
     or other activities which might result in a change of control or a sale
of the business.                                                  

The purpose of this Amendment #1 to Schedule 13D is to amend the  
previously filed Schedule 13D as follows:                         

      Mr. Raymond's meeting with the Board of Directors occurred on  Saturday,
    May 4, 1996 at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors rather than
on Friday May 3, 1996. Mr. Raymond had discussed the foregoing    
     options during a conference call on May 1, 1996 with Ross K. Colquhoun,
   the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Paul
Sternberg, the Company's General Counsel, and William Lynn, the   
Company's Chief Financial Officer.                                

(a)    George G. Raymond, Jr.                                     

(b)    7920 Grand Bay Drive, Naples, Florida 33963                

(c)    Individual and Trusts.                                     

      (d)    During the last five years, Mr. Raymond has not been convicted in
a criminal proceeding.                              

      (e)    During the last five years, Mr. Raymond has not been a party to a
    civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction.

See Item 2 above.                                                 

ITEM 5.  INTEREST AND SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER                                  

See Item 2 Above.                                                 

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
