          Note A - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
          financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
          generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
          information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
          of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
          information and footnotes required by generally accepted
          accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
          opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
          recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
          have been included.

          Note B - Change in Method of Accounting for Income Taxes

               Effective August 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of
          accounting for income taxes to comply with Financial Accounting
          Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
          (FAS 109).  The new Statement requires a liability approach for
          computing income taxes.  As permitted under the new Statement,
          prior years' financial statements have not been restated.  The
          cumulative effect of adopting FAS 109 was to increase net
          earnings by $2.2 million (8 cents per share).
               Significant components of deferred tax assets and
          liabilities at August 1, 1993 were as follows:  (Thousands of
          Dollars)

          Note C - A two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100
          percent stock dividend was declared by the Board of Directors on
          January 21, 1994 to shareholders of record on March 16, 1994. 
          This split resulted in the issuance of additional shares of
          Common Stock and the reissuance of shares of Common Stock held in
          treasury.  All per share and certain share amounts have been
          adjusted to reflect the stock split.

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


          A.   Financial Condition

               Cash flow in the third quarter was a positive $1.1 million. 
          Net earnings plus depreciation fully funded the Company's capital
          expenditures, dividends and share repurchases in the quarter.

               Working capital, excluding cash, increased $3.2 million in
          the quarter.  Increases in receivables and inventories, due
          primarily to the strong growth in sales and orders, were somewhat
          offset by increases in accounts payables and other current
          liabilities.
          
               Capital expenditures of $5.3 million in the quarter and
          $14.5 million year-to-date are within the Company's 1994 capital
          expenditure budget of $20.0 million.  In April, the Company
          announced a $3.0 million expansion of its Stevens Point,
          Wisconsin liquid filtration plant.  Construction is to begin in
          June 1994 and is scheduled to be completed by November 1994.

               In the third quarter, the Company repurchased 191,200 shares
          at an average cost of $23.00 per share.  Subsequent to the end of
          the quarter through May 31, the Company repurchased another
          305,600 shares at an average cost of $20.40 per share.  As of May
          31, the Company has authorization to repurchase an additional
          921,400 shares in the open market.

               At the end of the third quarter, the Company has $32.8
          million of cash and cash equivalents, $30.6 million of total
          debt, and a capitalization ratio of 14.1 percent, up from 13.8
          percent as of the end of the second quarter.  In the quarter,
          debt rose again in Europe as the Company's Belgian Coordination
          Center utilized short-term borrowings to hedge its increasing
          foreign currency receivables.

               The Company believes that operational cash flows should
          continue to adequately fund long-term capital needs, but external
          funds will be used as necessary.

          B.   Results of Operations

               Third quarter sales of $153.9 million were up 15 percent
          from prior year sales of $133.4 million.  Net earnings of $9.7
          million were up 26 percent from prior year net earnings of $7.7
          million.  Earnings per share of 36 cents per share were up 29
          percent from 28 cents per share the prior year.

               For the nine-month period, sales of $432.0 million were up
          12 percent from prior year sales of $384.1 million.  Before the
          cumulative effect of an accounting change, earnings of $23.5
          million were up 22 percent from prior year earnings of $19.2
          million.  Earnings per share of 86 cents per share were up 25
          percent compared to 69 cents per share the prior year.

               In the first quarter, the Company adopted Financial
          Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 109, "Accounting
          for Income Taxes," which increased net earnings by $2.2 million,
          or 8 cents per share.  As a result, net earnings for the nine-
          month period were $25.7 million, or 94 cents per share.


               Worldwide net sales by market for the third quarter were as
          follows:

             ($Millions)                    1994      1993  % Change

             High Purity Products           12.3      12.5     (1.6)
                Industrial Products       $ 51.4    $ 43.4     18.4%

                                                          
             Net Sales                    $153.9    $133.4     15.4%
          
               In Engine Products, sales increases in excess of 20 percent
          were reported in the Company's three OEM markets, ie,
          construction, transportation and agriculture.  Transportation
          sales were favorably impacted by the initial sales of catalytic
          converter mufflers.  Aftermarket sales were up 13 percent, led by
          a 17 percent increase domestically.  Defense sales continued to
          be down on a comparable year-over-year basis.  Exhaust filtration
          sales in the quarter were for diesel particulate trap replacement
          parts.
          
               In Industrial Products, gas turbine systems sales were up
          more than 75 percent, led by strong overseas activity.  Dust
          collection sales were up slightly as domestic sales growth more
          than offset overseas softness.  High purity products sales were
          down slightly with no significant change in product mix.

               Operating income as a percent of sales improved in the
          quarter from 8.7 percent to 10.0 percent.  In the quarter, the
          Company wrote down its Brazilian assets by $2.2 million and,
          consequently, gross margins declined from 28.1 percent to 27.4
          percent. Excluding the write down, gross margins had improved
          from 28.1 percent to 28.8 percent reflecting improved domestic
          traditional diesel engine and dust collection margins.  Operating
          expenses as a percent of sales declined from 19.3 percent to 17.4
          percent, reflecting both increased sales and continued tight
          operating expense controls.

                 The asset write down in Brazil related to the continuing
          economic and political uncertainties in the country and the
          resulting losses being incurred by the Company's Brazilian
          operations.

               Total backlogs of $151.7 million were up 10 percent from the
          same period last year and 4 percent from the end of the second
          quarter.  Hard order backlogs - goods scheduled for delivery in
          90 days - of $101.9 million were up 6 percent from both last year
          and the end of the second quarter.

          Item 2.   CHANGES IN SECURITIES

                    On January 21, 1994, the Board of Directors of the
                    Company declared a two-for-one stock split to be
                    distributed April 6, 1994.  In accordance with the
                    Stockholder Rights Plan adopted by the Board of
                    Directors on February 21, 1986, as amended, prior to
                    the stock split each share of Common Stock was
                    accompanied by one-third Preferred Stock Purchase Right
                    ("Right") and each whole Right had an exercise price of
                    $85 per one one-hundredth of a share of preferred
                    stock.  To reflect the stock split, effective April 6,
                    1994, the Right associated with each share of Common
                    Stock was proportionately adjusted so that each share
                    of Common Stock is now accompanied by one-sixth of a
                    Right.
