Pension Committee
Dover Corporation
Employee Savings and Investment Plan:


We have audited the statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the
Dover Corporation Employee Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan) as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1994.  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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan
as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

In addition, we consent to incorporation by reference of this report in the
Registration Statement No. 2-91561 on Form S-8 of Dover Corporation.

                         Notes to Financial Statements


(1)       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

          (a)      Basis Presentation

                   The accompanying statements, prepared on the accrual basis
                   of accounting, present the net assets available for Plan
                   benefits and changes in net assets available for Plan
                   benefits for the Dover Corporation Employee Savings and
                   Investment Plan (the Plan).

          (b)      Management of Trust Funds

                   Investors Diversified Services (IDS) Trust (The Trustee) was
                   granted discretionary authority to purchase and sell
                   securities.  IDS, which is an American Express Company,
                   changed its name during the current year to American Express
                   Financial Advisors.

                   The Trustee maintains five investment funds as follows:

                   The Stock Fund (Fund A) is authorized to invest in Dover
                   Corporation common stock.

                   The Income Fund (Fund B) is authorized to invest in fixed
                   income securities such as securities of the United States
                   government or agencies thereof, money market funds,
                   corporate bonds, mortgages, and insurance company contracts.

                   The Equity Fund (Fund C) is authorized to invest in common
                   stocks and other equity-type investments which are expected
                   to present opportunities for capital appreciation.

                   The Balanced Fund (Fund D) is authorized to invest in a
                   combination of common stocks (up to 65%) and preferred
                   stocks, bonds, convertible bonds, notes and unsecured bonds
                   and short-term investments (up to 35%).

                   The Growth Fund (Fund E) is authorized to invest primarily
                   in common stocks with the objective of obtaining capital
                   growth without regard to income or volatility.

                   The Plan Administrator may delegate the management of the
                   Plan's assets to another investment manager if it deems it
                   advisable in the future.  Funds temporarily awaiting
                   investment are placed in a short-term investment fund of the
                   Trustee where they earn the prevailing market rate of
                   interest.

          (c)      Investments

                   Investments in securities are carried by the Plan at fair
                   values, which are determined by the Trustee, as follows:

                               DOVER CORPORATION

                      EMPLOYEE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements


(2)       The Plan

          Participation in the Plan is voluntary.  All employees of
          participating units of Dover Corporation ("Dover") who have reached
          age 21 and completed one year of service are eligible to participate
          in the Plan.  A participant (except highly compensated employees) may
          elect to exclude from 2% to 18% in whole percentages (subject to IRS
          regulations) of his or her compensation (the "Deferred Amount") from
          current taxable income by contributing it to the Plan.  Each
          participating Dover unit (Employers) will make contributions to the
          Plan on behalf of the Participants employed by it, equal to between
          25% and 50% of the first 6% of earnings included in the Deferred
          Amount (the "Employer Matching Contribution").  All Employee and
          Employer contributions will be credited to a participant's Savings
          Account.  The Participant is fully vested with respect to this
          nonforfeitable balance at all times.  At the discretion of Dover's
          Board of Directors, an additional year-end Employer Matching
          Contribution may also be made to the Plan on behalf of the
          Participants, based on operating results.  The aggregate percentage
          of all employer matching contributions, for the plan year, shall not
          exceed 80% of the first 6% of earnings included in the deferred
          amount.  All employer matching contributions are initially invested
          in the stock fund (Fund A).

          Upon retirement, total disability, death or other termination of
          employment of a Participant, or upon termination of the Plan, the
          current balances in his or her Savings Account shall become payable
          to the Participant or the designated beneficiary, as the case may be.
          All benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid in a single
          distribution consisting of cash, Dover Corporation common stock or
          both, in an amount equal to the Participant's entire interest in the
          Plan and in proportion to the Participant's interest in the five
          investment funds.  The Plan does not permit withdrawals during a
          Participant's active career.

          A participant who has been active in the Plan for at least twelve
          months may request a loan from his or her Deferred and Employer
          Account balances.  Loan requests must be in increments of $500.  The
          minimum a participant may borrow is $1,000, and the maximum amount is
          determined by the balance in the participant's "Savings Account"
          (Deferred and Employer Contribution Accounts combined) as of the
          Valuation Date preceding the loan request in accordance with
          Department of Labor Regulations, as per the following schedule:

                         Notes to Financial Statements


(2)       Continued

          Loans are available for the acquisition of a home, home improvements,
          medical expenses, education expenses, or other purposes approved by
          the Plan Administrator.

          Each Participant will have the right to direct that the entire amount
          of the Deferred Amount being allocated to his or her Savings Account
          during a Plan Year be invested in one or more of such Investment
          Funds in multiples of five percent.  Each participant will have the
          right at any time to move all or any portion of the investment
          (including the match) among the investment funds.

          Each participant will have the right to rollover into the plan
          distributions from other qualified plans or conduit IRA's.

(3)       Federal Income Taxes

          The Plan Administrator has received a tax qualification letter from
          the Internal Revenue Service covering changes made to the Plan to
          comply with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The
          Plan Administrator believes the Plan continues to qualify under the
          provisions of Section 401 the Internal Revenue Code, and is exempt
          from Federal Income Taxes.

(4)       Administrative Expenses

          Administrative expenses of the Plan have been paid by Dover
          Corporation, which currently waives its right to have the Plan pay
          its own expenses.

(5)       Plan Termination

          Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Dover has the
          right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and
          to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

(6)       Plan Merger and Spin-Off

          On October 1, 1994 assets as of 1/1/94 amounting to $3,343,359 were
          merged into "The Plan" from the A-C Compressor Savings and Investment
          Plan.  A-C Compressor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dover
          Corporation.  The merger was accounted for on a pooling of interests
          basis.  Employer match in funds other than the Dover Stock Fund
          relates to A-C Compressor's match for the period 1/1/94 - 9/30/94.

          During 1993, assets amounting to $5,360,667 were spun off primarily to
          DOVatron International Inc.'s Savings and Investment Plan.  DOVatron
          International was spun-off to Dover Corporation shareholders on May
          21, 1993 in a tax-free stock distribution.  As a result, the Dover
          Stock Fund received dividend income of $1,419,057.

(7)       Subsequent Event

          On January 1, 1995 assets amounting to $5,996,730 were merged into
          "The Plan" from the General Elevator Savings and Investment Plan.
          General is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dover Corporation.
