    pursuant to Sections 13(a),  13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange
    Act of  1934,  as  amended  (the  "Exchange  Act"),  after  the date of this

    ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      Section  102(b)(7) of the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law (the "DGCL")
    permits a Delaware  corporation,  in its  certificate of  incorporation,  to
    limit or eliminate,  subject to certain statutory limitations, the liability
    of a director to the corporation or its  stockholders  for monetary  damages
    for breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
    director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,  (ii) for
    acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional  misconduct
    or a knowing  violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv)
    for any  transaction  from which the director  derived an improper  personal
    benefit.   Article  SEVEN  of  the  Registrant's   Restated  Certificate  of
    Incorporation   provides  that  no  director  of  the  Registrant  shall  be
    personally  liable to the Registrant or its  stockholders in accordance with
    the foregoing provisions of Section 102(b)(7).

      Under  Section 145 of the DGCL,  a Delaware  corporation  has the power to
    indemnify directors and officers under certain prescribed circumstances and,
    subject  to  certain  limitations,   against  certain  costs  and  expenses,
    including  attorneys' fees,  actually and reasonably  incurred in connection
    with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
    or  investigative,  to  which  any of them is a party by  reason  of being a
    director or officer of the Registrant if it is determined  that the director
    or the officer acted in accordance  with the applicable  standard of conduct
    set forth in such  statutory  provision.  Article EIGHT of the  Registrant's
    Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that any person who was or is
    made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved
    in any action, suit or  proceeding, whether  civil, criminal, administrative
    or

                                      II-1
<PAGE>

    investigative,  by  reason  of the fact  that  such  person  is or was a
    director or an officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the request
    of the  Registrant  as a  director,  officer,  employee  or agent of another
    corporation or of a partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other enterprise,
    including  service with  respect to an employee  benefit  plan,  whether the
    basis of such  proceeding  is alleged  action in an  official  capacity as a
    director,  officer,  employee or agent in any  capacity  while  serving as a
    director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless
    by the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.

      The Registrant has purchased  directors' and officers' liability insurance
    covering  certain  liabilities  which may be  incurred by the  officers  and
    directors of the  Registrant in  connection  with the  performance  of their
    duties.

      ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

            (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1) To file,  during any  period in which  offers of sales are being
      made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                      (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
                  of the Securities Act;

                     (ii) To  reflect  in the  prospectus  any  facts or  events
                  arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement
                  (or the most recent  post-effective  amendment thereof) which,
                  individually  or in the  aggregate,  represent  a  fundamental
                  change  in the  information  set  forth  in  the  Registration
                  Statement;

                    (iii) To include any  material  information  with respect to
                  the  plan of  distribution  not  previously  disclosed  in the
                  Registration   Statement  or  any  material   change  to  such
                  information in the Registration Statement;

      Provided,  however,  that  Paragraphs  (a)(1)(i)  and  (a)(1)(ii)  of this
      section do not apply if the  Registration  Statement is on Form S-3,  Form
      S-8 or  Form  F-3,  and  the  information  required  to be  included  in a
      post-effective  amendment  by those  paragraphs  is  contained in periodic
      reports  filed  with or  furnished  to the  Commission  by the  Registrant
      pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are  incorporated
      by reference in the Registration Statement.

            (2) That,  for the purpose of  determining  any liability  under the
      Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
      new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
      the  offering  of such  securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the
      initial bona fide offering thereof.

            (3)  To  remove  from  registration  by  means  of a  post-effective
      amendment any of the securities  being  registered  which remain unsold at
      the termination of the offering.

            (b) The undersigned  Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
      of determining  any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
      Registrant's  annual report  pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
      the Exchange  Act that is  incorporated  by reference in the  Registration
      Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration  Statement  relating to
      the securities  offered  therein,  and the offering of such  securities at
      that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                      * * *

            (h) Insofar as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising under the
      Securities  Act may be permitted to  directors,  officers and  controlling
      persons  of the  Registrant  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,  or
      otherwise,  the  Registrant  has been  advised  that in the opinion of the
      Commission such  indemnification  is against public policy as expressed in
      the Securities Act and is, therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event that a
      claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
      by the Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or
      controlling  person of the  Registrant  in the  successful  defense of any
      action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or
      controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
      Registrant will,  unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
      settled  by  controlling  precedent,  submit  to a  court  of  appropriate
      jurisdiction  the question whether such  indemnification  by it is against
      public policy as expressed in the  Securities  Act and will be governed by
      the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We are counsel to Teledyne  Technologies  Incorporated (the "Company") and
we have acted as counsel for the Company in connection  with the  preparation of
the  Registration  Statement  on Form S-8 to be filed  by the  Company  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended,  of 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value
$.01 per share  (the  "Shares"),  which  are to be  issued  from time to time to
certain  employees  of the Company and its  affiliates  in  connection  with the
Teledyne, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Plan").

      We have  examined  the  originals,  certified  copies or copies  otherwise
identified to our  satisfaction  as being true copies of the Plan and such other
documents  as we have  deemed  necessary  or  appropriate  for  purposes of this
opinion.

      Based on the  foregoing,  we are of the opinion  that the Shares have been
duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance, and that the Shares, when
issued under the terms of the Plan,  will be legally and validly  issued,  fully
paid and nonassessable.

      We hereby  consent  to the filing of this  opinion  as Exhibit  5.1 to the
Registration Statement.

                                          Very truly yours,

Dear Applicant:

      We have made a favorable  determination  on your plan,  identified  above,
based on the  information  supplied.  Please keep this letter in your  permanent
records.

      Continued  qualification of the plan under its present form will depend on
its  effect  in  operation.   (See  section  1.401-1(b)(3)  of  the  Income  Tax
Regulations.) We will review the status of the plan in operation periodically.

      The  enclosed   document  explains  the  significance  of  this  favorable
determination  letter,  points out some  features  that may affect the qualified
status  of your  employee  retirement  plan,  and  provides  information  on the
reporting  requirements  for your  plan.  It also  describes  some  events  that
automatically nullify it. It is very important that you read the publication.

      This  letter  relates  only to the status of your plan under the  Internal
Revenue Code. It is not a determination regarding the effect of other federal or
local statutes.

      This  determination  letter is applicable for the plan adopted on June 22,
1991.

      This plan has been mandatorily disaggregated,  permissively aggregated, or
restructured to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements.

      This letter is issued under Rev. Proc. 93-39 and  considers the amendments
required by the  Tax  Reform  Act of 1986 except  as otherwise specified in this
letter.

<PAGE>

      This   plan   satisfies   the   nondiscriminatory   current   availability
requirements  of section  1.401(a)(4)-4(b)  of the  regulations  with respect to
those  benefits,  rights,  and  features  that are  currently  available  to all
employees in the plan's  coverage group.  For this purpose,  the plan's coverage
group consists of those employees  treated as currently  benefiting for purposes
of demonstrating  that the plan satisfies the minimum  coverage  requirements of
section 410(b) of the Code.

      This letter  may not be  relied  upon with  respect  to  whether  the plan
satisfies  the  qualification  requirements  as  amended  by the  Uruguay  Round
Agreements Act, Pub. L. 103-465.

      The  information  on the  enclosed  addendum is an  integral  part of this
determination. Please be sure to read and keep it with this letter.

      We have sent a copy of this letter to your  representative as indicated in
the power of attorney.

      If you have questions  concerning  this matter,  please contact the person
whose name and telephone number are shown above.

                                          Sincerely yours,

                                          /s/ Richard R. Orosco
