Optical CCD observations and 20 cm radio continuum observations are presented for, a sample of 26 hitherto unobserved elliptical galaxies with strong dust lanes. 21 objects were found to be radio emitters. High resolution VLA maps of the radio morphology are compared with the dust morphology. In one case a radio jet was discovered, it is orthogonal to the dust lane. A careful check of the literature data of all dust-lane ellipticals with radio jets shows a strong preference of the jets to be orthogonal to the dust lanes. This has implications for the coupling of the angular momentum of the dust lane to the accretion disk and to the black hole.
