                       FORM 10-Q  June 30, 1996

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.    The  consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996, the consolidated
statements of income, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 have been
prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the opinion of management,  all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary  to
present  fairly the financial position at June 30, 1996 and the results  of
operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.

      Certain  information  and footnote disclosures normally  included  in
financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that
these  consolidated  financial statements be read in conjunction  with  the
consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  included  in  the
Company's December 31, 1995 annual report to shareholders.  The results  of
operations  for  the  periods  ended June  30,  1996  are  not  necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.

2.    Pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement dated as of June 15,  1996  (the
"Acquisition  Agreement") among the Company, Varlen Corporation  ("Varlen")
and BAS, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Varlen ("Purchaser"), Purchaser
commenced  on June 20, 1996 a cash tender offer (the "Offer") for  all  the
outstanding  shares  of  common stock, par  value,  $1.00  per  share  (the
"Shares"), of the Company at a price of $16.125 per Share, net to seller in
cash, without interest.  The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York city
time,  on  July  19,  1996.   Following expiration  of  the  Offer,  Varlen
beneficially  owned, indirectly through Purchaser and another  wholly-owned
subsidiary, 9,798,734 Shares, or approximately 96% of the total  number  of
Shares outstanding.

      Pursuant  to  the  Acquisition Agreement, the Company  has  called  a
Special  Meeting  of Shareholders to be held on August  23,  1996  for  the
purpose of voting on the approval and adoption of a Plan of Merger dated as
of  July 26, 1996, providing for the merger of the Purchaser with and  into
the  Company (the "Merger").  On July 29, 1996, the Company mailed  to  all
shareholders  of record as of July 23, 1996 proxy materials  in  connection
with the Special Meeting.  Under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, Varlen
has  sufficient voting power to cause the Plan of Merger to be  adopted  at
the  Special  Meeting  without the vote of any  other  shareholder  of  the
Company.   The Merger will be consummated as soon as practicable  following
the  Special  Meeting  on  the  terms  and  conditions  set  forth  in  the
Acquisition  Agreement  and  the Plan of  Merger.   As  a  result,  at  the
effective time of the Merger (i) the Company will continue as the surviving

corporation and will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Varlen and  (ii)  each
Share  issued and outstanding (other than Shares held by Varlen,  Purchaser
or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Varlen or Purchaser or the Company)
will  be converted into the right to receive $16.125 net per Share in cash,
without any interest.

     The Shares are currently traded in the over-the-counter market and are
quoted  in  the  National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.  ("NASD")
Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") National Market System ("NMS").  As a
result of the consummation of the Offer and the Merger, the registration of
the  Shares  under  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,  as  amended  (the
"Exchange Act"), and the trading of the Shares on the NASDAQ NMS,  will  be
terminated  as  soon  as practicable following the effective  time  of  the
Merger.   Upon termination of registration of the Shares under the Exchange
Act,  the  Company  will  no  longer be required  to  file  reports,  proxy
statements or other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission
relating to its business, financial condition and other matters.

      In  connection with consummation of the Offer and Merger, the Company
will  cancel,  immediately prior to the effective time of the  merger,  all
options  outstanding under its 1988 Stock Option Plan and, at the effective
time  of  the merger all shares of restricted stock outstanding  under  its
1987  Restricted Stock Plan, resulting in a payment, at the  time  of  such
cancellation, of approximately $3,800,000.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
            and Results of Operations.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

      Net sales were $66,102,000 for the first six months of 1996, compared
to  $67,874,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of 2.6%.  For the
second  quarter, sales were $33,227,000, compared to $32,642,000,  for  the
same  quarter in 1995, an increase of 1.8%.  Sales for the first six months
of  1995  were the highest in the Company's history.  The excellent results
for  both  the  second quarter and six months of 1996  are  the  result  of
increased  export  shipments  as well as increased  bearing  reconditioning
services,  as  bearings  for  the OEM market  were  below  1995  levels  as
forecasted due to decreased demand for new railcars in 1996.

      Net income was $5,050,000 or $.50 per share for the first six months,
compared to $6,346,000 or $.63 per share for the comparable period in 1995,
a  decrease of 20.4%.  For the second quarter, net income was $2,479,000 or
$.25  per  share,  compared to $2,706,000 or $.27 per share  for  the  same
quarter of 1995, a decrease of 8.4%.  The reduced levels of new freight car
construction  in  the  U.S.  and  Canada was  offset  by  increased  export
shipments  and  bearing reconditioning services from  a  sales  standpoint.
However,  margins on these businesses are less than margins on  OEM  sales,
resulting in reduced net income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

      Cash  and  cash  equivalents were up $258,000  for  the  quarter  and
$3,140,000 since the beginning of the year.  Working capital at the end  of
the  second quarter was $44,465,000, compared to $44,818,000 at the end  of
the first quarter, a slight decrease of $353,000.

      Management  believes  that  its current cash  and  cash  equivalents,
together  with earnings, are sufficient to cover both capital and  dividend
requirements for the balance of the year.


ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY:

     Following completion of a tender offer made pursuant to an Acquisition
Agreement  dated  June  15,  1996, among the  Company,  Varlen  Corporation
("Varlen")  and  BAS,  Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary  of  Varlen,  Varlen
beneficially owns indirectly approximately 96% of the Company's outstanding
shares of common stock.  Varlen is expected to complete the acquisition  of
the  Company  through  a second step merger, presently  anticipated  to  be
completed  by  the  end of August, 1996.  See Note  (2)  to  the  Notes  to
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  further  detail  concerning   the
acquisition.

           (1)   Election of Directors.  Provided that a quorum is present,
the  nominees  receiving the greatest number of votes cast are  elected  as

effect  upon  the  election of directors.  Each nominee  for  director  was

           (2) Approval of designation of McGladrey & Pullen as independent
auditors  for  the  current  year.  Provided  that  a  quorum  is  present,

have  the  effect  of  working against ratification.   Designation  of  the
auditors was approved, having received the following vote:

       FOR:                               9,090,248
