INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Allen-Bradley Savings and Investment Plan
  for Hourly Employees and Participants therein:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Allen-Bradley 
Savings and Investment Plan for Hourly Employees, formerly known as the 
Allen-Bradley Employee Savings Plan for Hourly Employees, as of December 31, 
1996 and 1995 and for the years then ended, listed in the Table of Contents.  
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material 
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 
1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the 
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules listed in 
the Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and 
are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are 
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and 
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental information by fund in the statements 
of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net 
assets available for benefits is presented for the purpose of additional 
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and 
changes in net assets available for benefits of the individual funds.  The 
supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund are the 
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental schedules and 
supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the auditing 
procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1996 and 1995 financial 
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects 
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a 
whole.

ALLEN-BRADLEY SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN 
FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
1.	DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following brief description of the Allen-Bradley Savings and Investment 
Plan for Hourly Employees (the "Plan") is provided for general information 
purposes only.  Prior to October 1, 1995, the Plan's name was the Allen-
Bradley Employee Savings Plan for Hourly Employees. Participants should refer 
to the Plan document for more complete information.
a.	General - The Plan is a defined contribution savings plan established by 
Allen-Bradley Company, Inc. (the "Company").  The Company is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Rockwell International Corporation ("Rockwell").  The 
Savings Plan Benefit Committee and the Plan Administrator control and 
manage the operation and administration of the Plan.  Effective 
October 1, 1995, Wells Fargo, N.A. (formerly First Interstate Bank of 
California) became the trustee of the Plan assets.  Prior to that time an 
officer of the Company was trustee of the Plan assets.  The Plan is 
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act 
of 1974.
	The Plan is composed of nine funds: (i) the Fixed Income Fund, which 
invests primarily in debt securities with maturities of three years or 
less; (ii) the Diversified Fund, which invests primarily in stocks, bonds 
and other corporate securities, except those issued by Rockwell; (iii) 
the Guaranteed Return Fund, which invests in insurance company contracts 
providing a guarantee of principal and stated rate of interest for a 
specified period; (iv) the Intermediate Term Bond Fund, which invests in 
U.S. Treasury and government agency bonds with intermediate maturities 
averaging five years or less; (v) the Loan Fund, representing outstanding 
participant loan balances; (vi) Stock Funds A and B, which invest in or 
hold the common stock and Class A common stock of the company and (vii) 
Stock Funds C and D which invest in or hold the common stock of The 
Boeing Company ("Boeing").  See Footnote 6 for additional information 
regarding Boeing.  Prior to October 1, 1995, generally all contributions 
were invested in a pooled guaranteed insurance contract fund.  The 
operating results of such fund prior to October 1, 1995 are included with 
the Guaranteed Return Fund for 1995.  The Rockwell Class A Common Stock 
was converted to common stock effective February 23, 1997.
b.	Participation - The Plan provides that eligible employees electing to 
become participants may contribute up to a maximum of 14% of 
compensation, as defined in the Plan.  Participant contributions can be 
made either before or after U.S. federal taxation of a participant's 
compensation.  However, a participant's contribution on a before-tax 
basis is limited to 9% of the participant's base compensation for non-
highly compensated participants and to 8% for highly compensated 
participants.  In addition, the Company contributes out of its current or 
accumulated earnings and profits, but not otherwise, an amount equal to 
50% of the total amount of participant contributions provided that such 
amount shall not exceed an amount equal to 3% of compensation, less the 
<PAGE>
amount of any forfeitures as provided by the Plan.  Effective October 1, 
1995, the Plan was amended to provide for a variable Company match 
ranging from 50% to 100% of a participant's contributions, provided that 
such amount does not exceed 6% of a participant's base compensation.  The 
percentage match is determined based on consolidated net sales growth of 
Rockwell Automation.  Company contributions, effective October 1, 1995, 
are made in the form of cash or common stock of Rockwell or any 
combination thereof.
c.	Investment Elections - Participants may elect to have their participant 
contributions made to (i) the Fixed Income Fund; (ii) the Diversified 
Fund; (iii) the Guaranteed Return Fund; (iv) the Intermediate Term Bond 
Fund; (v) the Stock Fund B; or in 5% increments among any or all of the 
above funds.  Company contributions are made entirely to the Rockwell 
Stock Fund A.  Participants with units in the Guaranteed Return Fund may 
elect to convert all or a part of their percentage interest in an 
insurance contract into units in other funds as the insurance contracts 
held within the Guaranteed Return Fund expire.
d.	Unit Values - Participants do not own specific securities or other assets 
in the various Funds, but have an interest therein represented by units 
valued as of the last business day of the month, which is generally the 
last stock-trading day of the month.  However, voting rights are extended 
to participants in proportion to their interest in Rockwell Common Stock 
held in Stock Fund A and Stock Fund B, as represented by common units. 
Between valuation dates, contributions to and withdrawal payments from 
each fund are converted to units by dividing the amount of such 
transactions by the unit value as last determined, and the participants' 
accounts are charged or credited, as the case may be, with the number of 
units properly attributable to each participant.
e.	Vesting - Each participant is fully vested at all times in the portion of 
a participant's account which relates to the participant's contributions 
and earnings thereon.  Upon termination of employment, participants may 
receive their account balance, to the extent vested, in the form of a 
lump sum payment, installment payments or an annuity contract from a 
legal reserve life insurance company. Amounts contributed after 
October 1, 1995 will no longer be distributed in the form of an annuity 
contract from a legal reserve life insurance policy.  Vesting in the 
Company contribution portion of participant accounts plus actual earnings 
thereon is based on years of credited service.  A participant is 100 
percent vested after five years of credited service.  Partial vesting 
occurs at a rate of 20% per year of credited service.  Vesting prior to 
October 1, 1995 was based on participation in the Plan.  Participant 
before-tax contributions can be withdrawn provided the participant has 
either attained the age of 59-1/2 or is able to demonstrate financial 
hardship.
f.	Loans - A participant may obtain a loan in an amount as defined in the 
Plan (not less than $1,000 and not greater than $50,000 or 50% of the 
participant's account balance) from the balance of the participant's 
account.  Interest is charged at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 1%. 
The loans can be repaid through payroll deductions over periods ranging 
from 12 to 60 months or up to 120 months for the purchase of a primary 
residence, or they can be repaid in full  after  a minimum of 12 months. 
<PAGE>
Payments of principal and interest are credited to the participant's 
account.  Participants may have only one outstanding loan at a time.
g.	Forfeitures - When certain terminations of participation in the Plan 
occur, the nonvested portion of the participant's account represents a 
forfeiture, as defined in the Plan.  Forfeitures revert to the Company 
and reduce the Company's contributions to the Plan.  However, if the 
participant is reemployed and fulfills certain requirements, as defined 
in the Plan, the participant's account will be restored.
h.	Benefit Claims Payable - Distributions and withdrawals from participant's 
accounts may be made at any time effective October 1, 1995.  Prior to 
that time, distributions and withdrawals were made quarterly.  As of 
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, net assets available for 
benefits included benefits of $47,353 and $72,316, respectively, due to 
participants who have withdrawn from participation in the Plan or who 
have requested partial distributions.
i.	Priorities Upon Termination of the Plan - The Company has the authority 
to suspend contributions to the Plan or to terminate or modify the Plan 
from time to time. In the event that the Plan is terminated or 
contributions by the Company are discontinued, each participant's 
employer contributions account will be fully vested.  Benefits under the 
Plan will be provided solely from the Plan assets.
2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Valuation of Pooled Insurance Contract Fund - At December 31, 1996 and 
1995, the investment in the pooled insurance contract fund is valued at 
fair value.  In September 1994, the American Institute of Certified 
Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 94-4 "Reporting of 
Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined 
Contribution Plans" ("SOP").  The SOP requires a defined contribution plan 
to report investment contracts with fully benefit responsive features at 
contract value and other investment contracts at fair value.  According 
to the provisions of SOP 94-4, the pooled insurance contracts have been 
determined to be non-fully benefit responsive.  As such, the contracts 
are presented at fair value on the statements of net assets available for 
benefits at December 31, 1996 and 1995.  The crediting interest rate at 
December 31, 1996 for the contract was 6.27%.  
b. Valuation of Pooled Investment Funds - The Plan's interest in pooled 
investment funds represents investments in pooled investment funds in 
which the Plan and other Company and Rockwell defined contribution plans 
participate.  The Plan's interest in the funds is carried at fair value 
based on quoted market prices.
c.	 Valuation of Money Market Fund - Investments in a money market fund are 
stated at fair value, which is equivalent to cost.
d. Valuation of Rockwell Common Stock and Boeing Common Stock - Investments 
in Rockwell and Boeing Common Stock are stated at fair value based upon 
<PAGE>
closing sales prices reported on recognized securities exchanges on the 
last business day of the fiscal year.
e. Expenses - The Plan's expenses are paid by the Plan or the Company, as 
provided by the Plan document.

f. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in   
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Plan
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of net assets available for benefits and disclosure of 
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions to the
Plan's net assets available for benefits during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.	INVESTMENTS
The Plan's investments which exceeded 5% of the Plan's net assets as of 
December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:
                                                 1996             1995

  Diversified Fund                    1,252,139                1.031    
  Intermediate Term Bond Fund            92,000                1.028    
  Rockwell Stock Fund A                 420,880                1.089    

5.	TAX STATUS
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter in 1996, in which the 
Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in 
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The 
Plan was not timely amended to bring it into compliance with the requirements 
of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act 
<PAGE>
of 1988.  The Company voluntarily requested to correct the defect under the 
Closing Agreement Program of the Internal Revenue Service.  Under this 
program, the Company amended the Plan on September 28, 1995, to bring the 
Plan into compliance.  On June 11, 1996, the Company and the Internal Revenue 
Service entered into a signed closing agreement in which the Internal Revenue 
Service concluded that it will treat the Plan as having been timely amended 
for purposes of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the Technical and 
Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 with respect to plan years beginning after 
December 31, 1986.  As part of the agreement, the Company paid $27,500 in 
penalties.
The Company believes that the Plan currently is designed and being operated 
in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code 
and that, therefore, the Plan continues to qualify under Section 401(a) and 
the related trust continues to be tax-exempt as of December 31, 1996. 
Therefore, no provision for income taxes is included  in the Plan's financial 
statements.
6.	CHANGES IN THE PLAN
On December 6, 1996, the Company divested its former Aerospace and Defense 
businesses to Boeing by means of a merger in which the Company's predecessor 
corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boeing.  As a result of this 
transaction, participants of the Plan received .042 shares of Boeing stock 
for each share of Rockwell stock which they held as of the transaction date. 
Also, effective December 6, 1996, Stock Funds C and D, consisting of Boeing 
Common Stock and representing matching and participant contributions, 
respectively,  made prior to December 6, 1996 have been added to the Plan.
