    Item 4.   Description of Securities.

         Not Applicable.

    Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not Applicable. 

    Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

   
         Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware General
    Corporation Law ("Section 145"), a corporation may indemnify
    any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
    party to any action, suit, or proceeding (other than an action
    by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
    that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
    the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
    corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
    another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
    other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
    judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and
    reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action,
    suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
    he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
    interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
    criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
    believe his conduct was unlawful.  In an action by or in the
<PAGE>






    right of the corporation, such corporation may indemnify any
    such person against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
    by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such
    action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
    reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
    interests of the corporation and except that no
    indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim,  issue
    or matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable to
    the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
    Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action
    or suit was brought shall determine that, despite the
    adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
    of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
    indemnity for such expenses, which the court shall deem
    proper.  Indemnification, unless ordered by the court, shall
    be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific
    case upon a determination that indemnification of such person
    is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
    applicable standard of conduct.  Such determination is made
    (1) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum
    consisting of disinterested directors, or (2) by independent
    legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the
    stockholders.  To the extent that a director, officer,
    employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the
    merits or otherwise in defense of any such matter, Section 145
    requires that the corporation indemnify him against expenses
    actually and reasonably incurred by him in his defense. 
    Further, expenses may be paid by the corporation in advance of
    final disposition of the matter upon receipt of an undertaking
    by or on behalf of such director, officer, employee or agent
    to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that
    he is not entitled to be indemnified.  Such indemnification
    and advancement of expenses is not deemed exclusive of any
    other right to which a director or officer might be entitled
    under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
    disinterested directors or otherwise.  Section 145 also
    empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on
    behalf of any person who might be indemnified thereunder
    whether or not the corporation would have the power to <PAGE>
 





    indemnify him against such liability under such Section.
    

         Dresser has in effect an amendment to its Restated
    Certificate of Incorporation, providing for indemnification of
    certain persons including directors and officers to the
    fullest extent permitted under Section 145.

         Insurance is maintained for each director and officer of
    Dresser covering certain losses he may incur which arise by
    reason by his being a director or officer of Dresser or a
    subsidiary corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
    other enterprise.

    Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.

         Not Applicable.

    Item 8.   Exhibits.

         The Exhibits are listed in the Index to Exhibits
         immediately preceding the Exhibits.

    Item 9.   Undertakings.

         (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

              (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or
         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 of 1933;

                   (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
<PAGE>






              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) do not apply if the information required to be
         included in a post-effective amendment by those
         paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
         Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
         reference in the Registration Statement.

              (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any
         liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
    pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
    Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
    employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
    15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 <PAGE>
 





    securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
    fide offering thereof.
    

   
         (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
    under the Securities Act of 1933 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
    Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
    against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
    issue.
