PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS OF DRESSER.
Dresser Industries, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (hereinafter
"Dresser" or "Registrant" or the "Company") is a supplier of highly engineered
products, technical services and project management for hydrocarbon energy-
related activities that are primarily utilized in oil and gas drilling,
production and transmission; gas distribution; power generation; gas
processing; petroleum refining and marketing; and petrochemical production.
Demand for Dresser's products and services is generally determined by global
demand for energy and oil and gas by-products. Dresser was incorporated under
the laws of Delaware in 1956 as a successor to a Pennsylvania corporation
organized in 1938 by the consolidation of S. R. Dresser Manufacturing Company
and Clark Bros. Company. Both were carrying on businesses founded in 1880.
Dresser's executive offices are located at 2001 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas
75201 (telephone number 214/740-6000).
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996, consolidated revenues of
Registrant amounted to $6,561.5 million. A majority of such revenues was
derived from the sale of products and services to energy-oriented industries,
including oil and gas exploration, drilling and production, gas transmission
and distribution; petroleum and chemical processing; production of electricity;
and marketing of petroleum products.
Registrant's operations are divided into three industry segments:
Petroleum Products and Services; Engineering Services and Energy Equipment.
The Information by Industry Segment is included in Note N to Consolidated
Financial Statements on page 56 and in Management's Discussion and Analysis on
pages 23-26. This information includes sales and service revenues, operating
profit or loss and identifiable assets attributable to each of Registrant's
business segments for each of the past three fiscal years. This information
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes
and accountant's report appearing in Item 8 of this report.
Effective February 29, 1996, Dresser entered into an agreement to form a
joint venture with Shaw Industries Ltd. ("Shaw"). Dresser contributed its
Bredero Price assets and Shaw contributed its Shaw Pipe Protection assets both

the joint venture at the end of the second and fourth years of the joint
venture. Shaw also has the right to require Dresser to purchase Shaw's
interest in the joint venture under the same provisions.
In August 1996, Dresser issued $300,000,000 in 7.60% unsecured debentures
due in 2096. A portion of the proceeds of the debt issuance were used to
repurchase shares of Dresser's common stock and to reduce short term
borrowings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
GENERAL OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Dresser is a fully integrated manufacturer and supplier of products and
services to customers in the oil and gas industry. The Company produces a
broad range of highly engineered products for hydrocarbon exploration,
drilling, production, transmission and processing activities. Dresser also
provides engineering, procurement and project management services for all
aspects of the energy business. Operations are organized into three segments:
Petroleum Products and Services, Engineering Services and Energy Equipment.
Descriptions of the segments are contained in Note N to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The business environment for Petroleum Products and Services is directly
affected by prices for oil and natural gas, drilling activity and exploration
and production spending by oil and natural gas producers. In 1996, the average
posted price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil rose approximately 19% to
$20.77 per barrel while the average spot price of natural gas increased 53% to
$2.30 per million BTUs.
Overall, the rig count rose 4.5% in fiscal 1996. The rig count in North
America was up 4.5%, primarily reflecting an increase in wells drilled for
natural gas, while the rig count in international markets increased 4.6%,
reflecting higher activity levels in major producing regions like Latin
America, the Middle East, Africa, the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. The
global offshore rig count was up 11.1%.
The business environment for Engineering Services and Energy Equipment is
effected by numerous factors, including global and regional economic growth
rates, the prices of oil and natural gas, the supply and demand for products
created from hydrocarbons including gasoline, jet fuel, ethylene,
petrochemicals, chemicals, fertilizers and power. These factors determine the
capital spending budgets, both upstream and downstream, of integrated oil and
gas companies around the world.
According to published sources, economic growth is expected to continue at an
average of 6% for developing countries and 2.5% for developed countries.
Developing country growth expectations are due largely to steadily increasing
population and greater industrialization that will also generate rising per
capita energy demand. Increasing consumption of oil and natural gas is
expected to be driven by rising demand for refined products, petrochemicals,
fertilizers and power.
Capital and maintenance spending for downstream hydrocarbon processing projects
is expected to increase to $71.5 billion in 1997, up 6.7% from a projected
$67.0 billion in 1996. Recent project award activity has increased for
petrochemical/chemical projects. Global project activity in 1996 hit its
highest level (over 3,000 projects) since 1982, led by international project
activity, particularly in the Far East and Europe.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
1996 COMPARED TO 1995
Earnings per share and net earnings of $1.44 and $257.5 million for 1996 were
up 23% and 21%, respectively, from $1.17 and $213.1 million in 1995 before an
accounting change. The earnings improvement reflects the substantial growth
seen in the global market for oil and gas and their by-products.
Revenues for 1996 were $6.6 billion, an increase of 17% over the $5.6 billion
in 1995. Segment operating profit was $589.5 million in 1996 compared to
$473.1 million in 1995 for a 25% increase.
All three industry segments had higher revenues and operating profit. Within
the segments, all operations had higher revenues with virtually all operations
showing improvement. See the Industry Segment Analysis for discussion of
results by operation.
General corporate expenses of $83.6 million were $8.4 million higher than in
1995. The higher level of expenses in 1996 was primarily due to (i) foreign
exchange losses on devaluations of the Venezuelan currency in December 1995 and
April 1996 and (ii) costs of hedging the Company's investment in an Italian
subsidiary. Higher benefit-related expenses in 1996 also contributed to the
increase.
Interest expense increased to $60.5 million in 1996 from $47.4 million in 1995
due to an increase in total borrowings and to the higher interest rate on new
long-term debt versus the previously issued commercial paper. Interest income
decreased to $12.7 million in 1996 from $21.6 million in 1995 due to a lower
level of short-term investment of excess funds.
The effective income tax rate for 1996 was 34% compared to 32% for 1995. The
increased rate reflects a lower level of utilization of foreign net operating
losses.
1995 COMPARED TO 1994
Net earnings in 1995 before the accounting change were $213.1 million ($1.17
per share) compared to $197.8 million ($1.09 per share) in 1994 excluding the
effect of the special items discussed above. This represents a 7% earnings per
share increase.
Revenues of $5.6 billion were up $298.0 million or 6% over 1994. Segment
operating profit of $473.1 million increased $12.9 million or 3% from 1994.
The Petroleum Products and Services Segment and the Energy Equipment Segment
were up while the Engineering Services Segment was down versus 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS (CONTINUED)
1995 COMPARED TO 1994 (continued)
See the Industry Segment Analysis for discussion of changes in revenues and
operating profit.
General corporate expenses of $75.2 million were $4.3 million higher than in
1994. The increase was primarily due to 1994 gains on sales of interests in
M-I Drilling Fluids Company and IRI International Corporation. Net interest
expense increased $7.6 million to $25.8 million primarily because of lower
interest income due to a lower level of short-term investments.
The effective income tax rate for 1995 was 32% compared to an overall rate of
36% in 1994. In 1994, a lower tax basis on the investment in Western Atlas
International, Inc., compared to the book basis, resulted in a tax charge of
$129.3 million or 47% on the book gain on sale. The additional taxes on the
gain on sale of Western Atlas were somewhat offset by the $17.5 million of
special tax benefits recognized upon sale of investment in IRI International
Corporation. Excluding these two transactions, the effective rate for 1994
was 33%.
Minority interest provision was $19.8 million, down $13.1 million from 1994.
The decrease was primarily attributable to the 49% share in lower earnings of
Dresser-Rand.
INDUSTRY SEGMENT ANALYSIS
See details of financial information by Industry Segment and Geographic Area on
pages 23 through 26.
PETROLEUM PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
DRILLING AND PRODUCTION OPERATIONS
Revenues of $1.53 billion in 1996 were 20% higher than 1995, and operating
profit of $197.4 million was up 37% over the prior year. Sales to customers
outside of the U.S. accounted for 62% of total sales, slightly higher than
1995, with strong growth in Latin America, Europe and Africa.
Particularly strong gains were experienced by Baroid Drilling Fluids, Sperry-
Sun Drilling Services and Security DBS. Baroid's revenues increased 28% over
1995 as it capitalized on the growth of higher quality wells being drilled,
particularly offshore deepwater wells. Market share gains in the Gulf of
Mexico, Latin America and West Africa also contributed to the exceptional
growth over 1995. Sperry-Sun revenues were 20% higher than 1995 with key
growth areas including the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea and Latin America.
Increases in capital spending for measurement-while-drilling tools and a
continuation of high utilization rates were seen during the year. Security DBS
revenues and operating profit increased in 1996 over 1995 as the result of
increased sales of higher margin fixed cutter bits, combined with cost
improvements obtained from manufacturing efficiencies in its U.S. plants. For
total drilling and production operations, the ratio of operating profit to
sales was 12.9% compared to 11.3% last year.

PETROLEUM PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
DRILLING AND PRODUCTION OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Revenues of $1.28 billion in 1995 were $99.6 million or 8% higher than 1994
levels. Excluding the revenues of M-I Drilling Fluids, which was sold in
February 1994, revenues increased $246.6 million or 24%. Operating profit of
$143.9 million was $46.8 million higher than 1994. Excluding the impact of M-I
Drilling Fluids, operating profit increased $56.7 million or 65% over 1994.
The operating margin improved to 11.3% of sales from 8.2% in 1994 or 8.4%
excluding M-I. All geographic sectors improved in 1995, in particular Latin
America and the North Sea where drilling activity was greater than in the prior
fiscal year.
Although each operating division improved, the majority of the gains in sales
and operating profit were attributable to Baroid Drilling Fluids and Sperry-Sun
Drilling Services. Baroid revenues increased 31% due to higher activity in
major producing regions including the North Sea, Latin America and the Gulf of
Mexico. In addition, new market penetration of products developed within the
last five years, including PETROFREE and DRIL-N drilling systems, contributed
to the performance. Sperry-Sun's revenues improved 29%, reflecting increasing
demand, coupled with higher system capacity and utilization rates, for
measurement-while-drilling and directional drilling services in most major
markets. In addition, new products including Slim Phase 4, Lateral Tie Back
System (LTBS) and Underbalanced Drilling contributed to the improvement.
Revenues for Security DBS rose 4%, reflecting an increase in international
sales of roller-cone drill bits. Operating profit improved significantly,
reflecting successful restructuring and manufacturing cycle-time reductions.
Dresser Oil Tools benefited from strong sales in Canada and international
markets as well as cost savings from the consolidation of manufacturing and
sales and distribution operations. New product introductions also contributed
to the improvement. Despite a weak Canadian market, the Dresser Wheatley
Division benefited from the marketing of additional Dresser products.
KELLOGG OIL AND GAS SERVICES
Revenues of $626.7 million and operating profit of $33.9 million were 76% and
87% higher, respectively, in 1996 compared to 1995. The Bredero-Shaw
pipecoating operations saw substantial increases during the year, primarily
from a large contract in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea that was awarded
in the latter part of 1995. Activity also increased in U.S. markets as the
result of an acquisition made in 1995. Although Sub Sea revenues grew 18% in
1996 compared to 1995, earnings declined as the result of poor lay barge
utilization and day rates in the Gulf of Mexico and soft market conditions in
the Middle East.

KELLOGG OIL AND GAS SERVICES (CONTINUED)
Wellstream, acquired in mid-1995, was profitable in its first full year of
operation and is seeing improved demand for its flexible pipe and riser
systems. To meet this demand, a new plant is being constructed in the U.K.
which will enable Wellstream to expand its product lines and double its
existing capacity.
Revenues and operating profit declined $14.5 million and $36.2 million,
respectively, in 1995 compared to 1994. A cyclical downturn in the Bredero
Price pipecoating business in the North Sea and the Far East resulted in
significantly lower revenues and operating profit in 1995. The Sub Sea
underwater engineering operations had higher revenues and operating profit in
1995 as the result of improvements in both the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico,
combined with the impact of acquisitions made during 1995.
ENGINEERING SERVICES
M. W. Kellogg revenues of $1.62 billion were 11% higher than 1995, and
operating profit of $98.1 million was 24% higher. These gains resulted from
higher activity on projects in the U.K., Uzbekistan, Africa and the U.S. The
successful completion of significant milestones on several large contracts also
contributed to the higher profit levels. A number of significant projects
commenced during the year for LNG, fertilizer and petrochemical production.
M. W. Kellogg revenues of $1.46 billion in 1995 rose 15% from $1.27 billion in
1994. Major improvement in activity occurred in North America, Latin America
and Europe. These gains were partially offset by lower activity in the Far
East, reflecting the wind-down of projects in Malaysia, Africa and the Middle
East. Petrochemicals and gas processing activity accounted for much of the
pick up in activity in the United States and Europe.
M. W. Kellogg operating profit in 1995 declined 7% due principally to lower
equity income of $9.7 million from M.W. Kellogg's investment in Bufete
Industriale, S.A. de C.V., a major Mexican engineering and construction firm.
Operating profit for 1995 also included a gain of $7.5 million from the sale of
one-third of its investment in Bufete, and the 1994 results included a gain of
$11.0 million associated with an initial public offering of Bufete. Excluding
the impact of Bufete, operating profit in 1995 increased 10%.
Backlog of $2.9 billion at October 31, 1996 was more than double the year-ago
level of $1.4 billion, reflecting increases in LNG, fertilizer, ethylene and
enhanced oil recovery project bookings.

ENERGY EQUIPMENT
COMPRESSION AND PUMPING
Compression and Pumping revenues of $1.27 billion were 4% higher than 1995.
Operating profit of $101.7 million was 23% higher than the prior year.
Dresser-Rand's earnings of $71.5 million were up 14% from last year on
approximately 3% higher sales. The increase in earnings reflects higher
complete machine, aftermarket and contract compression sales, and reduced sales
of lower margin purchased equipment. Lower manufacturing overhead and selling,
general and administrative expenses also aided the earnings improvement.
Revenues and operating profit both fell approximately 6% in 1995 compared to
1994. Dresser-Rand revenues declined $96.2 million or 8% to $1.14 billion as a
cyclical downturn in the compression industry resulted in lower volumes of
complete units and repair parts during the first half of the year and from the
impact of a major multi-year gas compression project in Venezuela that was
completed early in fiscal 1995. In 1995, 60% of Dresser-Rand's revenues were
from markets outside of North America. An increase in revenues in the United
States and the Far East was more than offset by declines attributable to the
factors noted above. Dresser-Rand operating profit of $62.8 million was down
$8.6 million from 1994. All markets were affected by margin pressure on
complete-unit sales, especially the Far East. Cost reduction programs and the
benefits associated with higher levels of production during the year partially
offset the decline in margin.
Earnings from the 49%-owned Ingersoll-Dresser Pump (IDP) joint venture were
$22.1 million in 1996, $13.2 million in 1995 and $8.8 million in 1994. The
improvement in 1996 over 1995 and 1994 was driven by margin improvements and
continuing improvements to its cost structure since the formation of the joint
venture.
MEASUREMENT
Revenues of $637.0 million in 1996 were $18.3 million or 3% higher than in
1995; however, 1996 operating profit of $55.7 million was $15.7 million or
22% lower than in 1995. The operating profit decrease occurred in the Wayne
(fuel dispensing) Division due to pricing pressures in the U.S. and increased
software development costs. The improvement in the Instrument Division
primarily reflected the contribution of an acquisition in early 1996.
Measurement operation revenues of $618.7 million in 1995 were $52.2 million or
9% higher than 1994 levels. However, operating profit was essentially
unchanged at $71.4 million compared to $72.0 million in 1994. Although the
Wayne Division enjoyed improved sales in Europe and South America, margins were
negatively impacted by cost and pricing pressures in the U.S. market, resulting
in lower overall operating profit in 1995. The Instrument Division reported a
13% revenue increase and a slight improvement in operating profit. Earnings
from higher activity in South America and new product introductions were offset
by a decline in Europe and the effect of increased spending in the marketing
and research and development areas.

FLOW CONTROL
In 1996, revenues of $611.1 million and operating profit of $64.6 million
were up from 1995 by $152.7 million or 33% and $22.8 million or 55%,
respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to the inclusion in
the Energy Valve Division of a full year's results for Grove S.p.A., which
was acquired in June 1995, as well as the beneficial impact of higher
activity in its U.S. operations. The Valve and Controls Division showed
improvement with volume growth associated with increased activity in the
refining, chemical and power sectors as well as the ongoing benefits
associated with the restructuring of its European operations.
Flow Control 1995 revenues of $458.4 million were $53.4 million or 13% higher
than 1994. Operating profit of $41.8 million was $12.5 million or 43% higher
than 1994. The acquisition of Grove S.p.A. in June 1995 was the major reason
for the year-to-year increase in revenues and operating profit. The Valve and
Controls Division performed ahead of 1994 as a result of increased project-
related orders in 1995 and the cost savings realized from the 1994
restructuring in Europe.
POWER SYSTEMS
Revenues of $306.0 million in 1996 showed a $29.1 million or 11% increase
over 1995 while 1996 operating profit of $38.1 million increased $2.2 million
or 6% over 1995. Both the Waukesha and Roots divisions had volume increases.
Roots contributed most of the operating profit improvement. Price
discounting and early-year softness in gas compression markets pressured
Waukesha's operating profit in the first half of the year. A pick up in U.S.
and international activity contributed to a modest recovery in the second
half of fiscal 1996.
Power Systems operations operating profit improved 5% in 1995 on a 12% revenue
increase. Waukesha Division revenues of $205.3 million increased $24.4 million
or 14%, with a slight improvement in operating profit. The sales improvement
was primarily in the lower margin power generation market, and higher new
product development costs also impacted operating profit in 1995. The Roots
Division saw operating profit improve $1.8 million on essentially flat sales of
$82.6 million. The earnings improvement was primarily the result of a major
reengineering effort to improve its manufacturing cost structure during the
year.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's liquidity and overall financial condition remained strong at
October 31, 1996. During the year, the Company used approximately $263.2
million more cash than the operations generated. Major expenditures included
$335.4 million for capital expenditures, $122.1 million for dividends, $228.1
million to repurchase shares and $32.2 million for business acquisitions. In
addition, $108.2 million of cash was used to finance working capital primarily
for increases in accounts receivable and inventories partially offset by an
increase in contract advances. The Company increased its net borrowings by
$251.4 million during the year by the issuance in August of $300.0 million
(face value) 100 year notes along with a $45.6 million reduction in short-term
debt. Shareholders' equity decreased $74.6 million as dividends and stock
repurchases more than offset earnings.

<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
Total debt was $842.3 million as of October 31, 1996, compared to $590.9
million at October 31, 1995. Total debt was 35% of total book capitalization
as of October 31, 1996, compared to 26% as of October 31, 1995. Net debt to
net book capitalization was 28% at October 31, 1996 compared to 17% at October
31, 1995. Net debt was 10% of market capitalization at October 31, 1996,
versus 8% at October 31, 1995.
Management believes that the cash on hand of $232.4 million and $612.3 million
of existing unused lines of credit, combined with cash that will be provided by
future operations, will be adequate to finance known requirements. The
Company's long-term debt is rated A by Standard and Poors, A1 by Moody's and A+
by Duff and Phelps. The three agencies give their highest ratings to the
Company's commercial paper. Management believes that the Company's strong
financial condition and favorable credit ratings will allow the Company to
borrow additional funds should the need arise.
LEGAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is currently involved in a number of lawsuits. See Note J to
Consolidated Financial Statements for information on these lawsuits and
evaluation of the Company's exposure. The Company has been identified as a
potentially responsible party in a number of Superfund sites. Note J to
Consolidated Financial Statements includes a review and evaluation of the
claims.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
The consolidated financial statements of Dresser Industries, Inc. and
subsidiaries have been prepared by management and have been audited by
independent accountants. The management of the Company is responsible for
the financial information and representations contained in the financial
statements and other sections of this report. Management believes that the
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles appropriate under the circumstances to reflect, in all
material respects, the substance of events and transactions that should be
included. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, it is
necessary that management make informed estimates and judgments based on
currently available information of the effects of certain events and
transactions.
In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of the consolidated
financial statements, management depends on the Company's internal control
structure. This internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable
assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed in
accordance with management's authorization and are properly recorded. In
designing control procedures, management recognizes that errors or
irregularities may occur. Also, estimates and judgments are required to
assess and balance the relative cost and expected benefits of the controls.
Management believes that the Company's internal control structure provides
reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be material to
the consolidated financial statements are prevented or would be detected
within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions.
The Board of Directors fulfills its oversight role for the accompanying
consolidated financial statements through its Audit and Finance Committee,
which is composed solely of directors who are not officers or employees of
the Company. The Committee meets with management, the independent
accountants and the internal auditors to review the work of each and to
monitor the discharge by each of its responsibilities. The Committee also
meets with the independent accountants and internal auditors, without
management present, to discuss internal control structure, auditing and
financial reporting matters.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and
Shareowners of Dresser Industries, Inc.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(1) and (2) and
14 (d) on page F-2 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Dresser Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries at October 31, 1996
and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted
our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, EMPLOYERS'
ACCOUNTING FOR POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, effective as of November 1, 1994.

NOTE A - ACCOUNTING CHANGE, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTING CHANGE
Effective November 1, 1994, the Company changed its accounting for
postemployment benefits as required by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 112, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (SFAS
112). Postemployment benefits include salary continuation, disability, and
health care for former or inactive employees who are not retired. Medical
benefits for employees on long-term disability are the most significant of
the benefits. SFAS 112 requires accrual of the cost of these benefits
currently. The Company had previously accrued the liability for salary
continuation but had expensed the other benefits as paid. The Consolidated
Statement of Earnings for 1995 includes a charge of $16.0 million (net of tax
of $9.0 million) or $0.09 per share for the cumulative effect of the
accounting change.
BAROID AND WHEATLEY MERGERS
Dresser Industries, Inc. (Dresser) merged with Baroid Corporation (Baroid) on
January 21, 1994 and with Wheatley TXT Corp. (Wheatley) on August 5, 1994.
"The Company," as used in these consolidated financial statements, refers to
Dresser and its subsidiaries including Baroid and Wheatley. The mergers have
been accounted for as poolings of interests. These consolidated financial
statements reflect the results of operations and cash flows of the combined
companies as if the mergers had occurred on November 1, 1993.
CONSOLIDATION
All majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated and all material intercompany
accounts and transactions are eliminated. Investments in 20% to 50% owned
partnerships and affiliates are accounted for on the equity method and
investments in less than 20% owned affiliates are accounted for on the cost
method.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues and earnings from long-term engineering and construction contracts are
recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured generally on the
cost incurred basis. Estimated contract costs include allowances for
completion risks, process and schedule guarantees and warranties that generally
are not finally determinable until the latter stages of a contract. Estimated
contract earnings are reviewed and revised periodically as the work progresses.
Estimated losses are charged against earnings in the period in which such
losses are identified. Revenues from sale of products and services other than
from long-term construction contracts are recorded when the products are
shipped or the services performed.

NOTE A - ACCOUNTING CHANGE, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
LONG-TERM CONTRACTS
Consistent with industry practice, service revenues and cost of services
include the value of materials, equipment and labor contracts furnished by
customers and for which the Company is responsible for the ultimate
acceptability of performance of the project based on such material, equipment
and labor. The value of such items was $239.6 million, $138.3 million and
$138.7 million for the years ended October 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
Amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized or costs incurred are included
in current liabilities under contract advances.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of most
inventories is determined using either the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or
the average cost method. The cost of certain U.S. inventories is determined
using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
Inventories on the LIFO method were $118.4 million and $112.0 million at
October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Under the average cost method,
inventories would have increased by $99.0 million and $100.0 million at October
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Inventories are stated net of progress payments received on contracts of $118.5
million and $94.5 million at October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years for
buildings and 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment. Certain assets with
service lives of more than 10 years are depreciated on accelerated methods.
Accelerated depreciation methods are also used for tax purposes, wherever
permitted. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements
are capitalized.
GOODWILL
The difference between purchase price and the fair values of net assets at date
of acquisition of businesses acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis
over the estimated periods benefited, not exceeding 40 years.
In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill
associated with an acquisition is impaired, the carrying amount will be reduced
to an amount representing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows before
interest to be generated by the operation.

TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars
based on the functional currency of each business unit. For units whose local
currency is the functional currency, asset and liability accounts are
translated at rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and
expense accounts are translated at rates approximating the actual rates on the
dates of the transactions. Translation adjustments are included as a separate
component of shareholders' equity. For units which have the U.S. dollar as the
functional currency, inventories, cost of sales, property, plant and equipment
and related depreciation are translated at historical rates. Other asset and
liability accounts are translated at rates in effect at the balance sheet date,
and revenues and expenses (excluding cost of sales and depreciation) are
translated at rates approximating the actual rates on the dates of the
transactions. Translation adjustments are reflected in the statement of
earnings.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates, but management does not believe
such differences will materially affect the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEARS
Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 1996
presentations.
FUTURE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED
ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF (SFAS 121) and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
(SFAS 123). The Company must adopt the provisions of SFAS 121 and SFAS 123
beginning in fiscal year 1997. SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles held and used by a company be reviewed for
possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. SFAS 123 encourages,
but does not require, companies to recognize compensation expense for grants of
stock, stock options, and other equity instruments based on a fair-value method
of accounting. The Company does not expect the effect of the adoption of SFAS
121 to be material in relation to its financial position or results of
operations. Concerning SFAS 123, the Company expects to continue to follow the
accounting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 for stock-
based compensation and to furnish the pro-forma disclosures required under SFAS
123, if material.

NOTE B - JOINT VENTURES, ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
JOINT VENTURES
Effective February 29, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to form a
joint venture with Shaw Industries Ltd. (Shaw) by contributing its Bredero
Price assets and Shaw contributing its Shaw Pipe Protection assets on a
worldwide basis. The Company has an option to purchase Shaw's interest in the
joint venture at the end of the second and fourth years of the joint venture.
Shaw also has the right to require the Company to purchase Shaw's interest in
the joint venture under the same provisions.
ACQUISITIONS
The Company acquired several small businesses during 1996 for $32.2 million.
These businesses did not have a significant effect on revenues or earnings.
During fiscal 1995, the Company acquired Subtec Asia Ltd., a Sharjah, United
Arab Emirates company, which provides underwater technology services primarily
to the offshore oil and gas industry, for $37.6 million in cash including
repayment of debt. On May 2, 1995, the Company acquired North Sea Assets
P.L.C., the remotely operated vehicle business of NSA/HMB Group, for
approximately $30.4 million in cash. On May 1, 1995, the Company acquired the
assets of Wellstream Company L.P., which was engaged in the production of high
pressure flexible pipe and riser systems, for $62.4 million in cash including
repayment of debt. Also, the Company acquired the assets of Energy Coatings
Company on May 5, 1995 and Pipeline Coating, Inc. on July 1, 1995 for a total
of approximately $13.6 million in cash. These last two companies perform pipe
coating services.
Effective May 31, 1995, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of
Grove S.p.A. (Grove), an Italian corporation, for $162.7 million in cash
including repayment of debt. Grove is a multinational company engaged in the
production of oilfield valves and regulators.
The above acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, and their results of
operations are included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings from the
acquisition dates. The purchase prices exceeded the value of the net assets
acquired by $244.1 million. The excess is included in goodwill in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over 40 years. The pro forma effect of these acquisitions is not material.
In December 1993, Wheatley acquired Axelson, Inc. and Tom Wheatley Valve
Company for $85.5 million cash, a $1.7 million promissory note and liabilities
assumed of $2.0 million. Axelson is a manufacturer of downhole rod pumps and
safety equipment used in the production of oil, and Tom Wheatley Valve Company
produces valves for the oil and gas industry. These acquisitions were
accounted for as purchases, and their results of operations are included in the
Consolidated Statements of Earnings from the acquisition dates.
DIVESTITURES
On January 28, 1994, the Company sold its 29.5% interest in Western Atlas
International, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Litton Industries for
$558.0 million. The Company recognized a gain of $275.7 million ($146.5
million net of tax) on the sale.

DIVESTITURES (CONTINUED)
Following the Baroid merger (See Note A) and in accordance with an agreement
reached with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice,
the Company sold its 64% interest in M-I Drilling Fluids Company to Smith
International, Inc. for $160.0 million in cash, effective February 28, 1994.
The Company recognized a $2.6 million pre-tax gain on the sale.
In September 1994, the Company sold its 50% interest in IRI International
Corporation and recognized a pre-tax gain of $4.6 million. Due to the sale,
the Company was able to recognize $17.5 million of tax benefits applicable to
previously unrecognized losses associated with IRI.

Company.
In connection with the Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company joint venture agreement
and a subsequent amendment, the Company granted to Ingersoll-Rand Company an
option to purchase 51% of the stock of Mono Group Limited for a price equal to
51% of its book value, including unamortized goodwill, at the exercise date.
The option price will be the amount at January 31, 1995 or at the end of the
month during which Ingersoll-Rand gives notice of its intention to exercise the
option, whichever amount is

lower. The option will expire on April 30, 1997. If the option to purchase is
exercised by Ingersoll-Rand Company, both Ingersoll-Rand and the Company have
agreed to contribute their respective Mono Group Limited shares to the
Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company as a contribution of capital to the partnership.
In the fourth quarter of 1995, The M. W. Kellogg Company (a wholly-owned
subsidiary) sold a portion of its interest in its Mexican affiliate, Bufete
Industriale, S.A. de C.V., and recognized a gain of $7.5 million. As a result
of the sale, Kellogg's ownership interest fell below 20%. Thereafter, Kellogg
accounted for its investment on the cost method rather than the equity method
used before the sale. Separately, Kellogg entered into a derivative
transaction with the purchasers of the Bufete shares. The derivative agreement
is based on the $20.4 million price of the shares sold. On the settlement date
of October 30, 1998, the Company will receive or make a cash payment equal to
the increase or decrease, respectively, in the value of the shares sold. The
estimated effect of the agreement will be accrued during the term of the
agreement. As of October 31, 1996, the carrying value of the derivative was
not significant and the fair value approximated the carrying value. The
counterparties to the derivative are high quality institutions, and the Company
believes that they are not significant credit risks. Kellogg has the right of
first refusal should the purchasers want to sell the shares.
NOTE D - CASH FLOW DATA

finance foreign operations and expansion. If these earnings were distributed,
foreign tax credits should become available under current law to reduce or
eliminate the resulting U.S. income tax liability. When the Company identifies
exceptions to the general reinvestment policy, additional taxes are provided.

At October 31, 1996, the Company had foreign operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $50 million that had not been benefited. The tax benefit of
these losses is recorded as a deferred tax asset and offset with a
corresponding valuation allowance. These losses are available to reduce the
future tax liabilities of their respective foreign entities. Approximately
$25 million of these losses will carry forward indefinitely while the remaining
losses expire at various dates from 1997 to 2006.
The net change of $4.6 million in 1996 in the valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets relates to increases in the valuation allowance for foreign losses.

STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
Dresser's 1992 Stock Compensation Plan includes a Stock Option Program, a
Restricted Incentive Stock Program and a Performance Stock Unit Program.
The Stock Option Program provides for the granting of options to officers and
key employees for purchase of the Company's common shares. The Plan is
administered by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors, whose members are not eligible for grants under the Plan. No
option can be for a term of more than ten years from date of grant. The
option price is recommended by the committee, but cannot be less than 100% of
the average of the high and low prices of the shares on the New York Stock
Exchange on the day the options are granted. The option price for 950,622
shares granted from 1993 through 1995 and still outstanding include prices
that increase on the annual anniversary dates of grants.

PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS PLAN
The Company has a plan under which it issues one Preferred Stock Purchase
Right for each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock. The Rights
expire in 2000 unless they are redeemed earlier.
The Rights will generally not be exercisable until after 10 days (or such
later time as the Board of Directors may determine) from the earlier of a
public announcement that a person or group has, without Board approval,
acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock or
the commencement of, or public announcement of an intent to commence, a
tender or exchange offer which, if successful, would result in the offeror
acquiring 30% or more of the Company's Common Stock. Once exercisable, each
Right would entitle its holder to purchase 1/100 of a share of the Company's
Series A Junior Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $90, subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances.
If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination not
previously approved by the Company's Continuing Directors, each Right then
exercisable would entitle its holder to purchase, at the exercise price, that
number of shares of the surviving company's common stock which has a market
value equal to twice the Right's exercise price. In addition, if any person
or group (with certain exceptions) were to acquire beneficial ownership of
15% or more of the Company's Common Stock (unless pursuant to a transaction
approved by the Company's Continuing Directors), each Right would entitle all
rightholders, other than the 15% stockholder or group, to purchase that
number of Series A Junior Preferred Stock having a market value equal to
twice the Right's price.
The Rights may be redeemed by the Company for $.01 per Right until the tenth
day after a person or group has obtained beneficial ownership of 15% or more
of the Company's Common Stock (or such later date as the Continuing Directors
may determine).
The Rights are not considered to be common stock equivalents because there is
no indication that any event will occur which would cause them to become
exercisable.

NOTE J - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
GENERAL LITIGATION
The Company continues to be involved in a lawsuit brought by parties who
purchased a construction equipment dealership from a third party in 1988. In
April 1994 the plaintiffs were awarded judgment of $6.5 million for
compensatory damages and $4.0 million for punitive damages. The Company
appealed the case. Appeal brief was filed in March 1995 and oral arguments
were heard in October 1995. A decision is not expected for several months.
The purchasers of the Company's former hand tool division sued the Company
for fraud in connection with the October 1983 transaction. In May 1994 the
jury returned a verdict awarding the plaintiffs $4.0 million in compensatory
damages and $50.0 million in punitive damages. On October 13, 1994 the Court
ordered a reduction of damages from $54.0 million to $12.0 million. On
October 15, 1996 the Court of Appeals issued its decision reversing the trial
court's decision and remanding the case for a new trial on damages.
Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances, management has
provided for what is believed to be a reasonable estimate of the exposure to
loss associated with these matters. While acknowledging the uncertainties of
litigation, management believes that these matters will be resolved without a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
ASBESTOSIS LITIGATION
The Company has approximately 69,000 pending claims, reflecting approximately
27,000 new claims opened in fiscal 1996 and 28,000 claims closed in fiscal
1996, in which it is alleged that third parties sustained injuries and
damages resulting from the inhalation of asbestos fibers in products
manufactured by the Company.
Of the pending claims, approximately 15,000 allege injury as a result of
exposure to asbestos contained in refractory products. The Company has
entered into an agreement with its insurance carriers on these claims that
currently covers 79% of its fees, expenses and indemnity payments. A lawsuit
has been filed against certain of the Company's excess carriers, which, if
successful, would raise the amount to 83%. During the fiscal year, there
were approximately 500 new claims filed, and approximately 2,000 claims were
tried, settled or summarily disposed for a gross cost of $2.4 million,
including legal fees, expenses and indemnity payments. Since 1976 the
Company has tried, settled or summarily disposed of approximately 18,000
claims for a gross cost of $39.1 million, including legal fees, expenses and
indemnity payments. Management has no reason to believe the carriers will not
be able to meet their share of the obligations under the agreement. The
Company has provided for the estimated exposure, based upon past experience,
of the open claims. Refractory product claims subsequent to July 31, 1992,
are the responsibility of Harbison-Walker Refractories Company (formerly
INDRESCO Inc.) pursuant to an agreement entered into at the time of the
spin-off of INDRESCO by the Company.

ASBESTOSIS LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
Of the approximately 54,000 non-refractory product claims, approximately half
are covered, in whole or in part, by a separate agreement with insurance
carriers. Because the agreement for these claims is governed by exposure
dates, the covered amount varies by individual claim, but currently averages
64% of fees, expenses and indemnity payments. During the fiscal year, there
were approximately 7,000 new claims filed, and approximately 7,000 claims
were tried, settled or summarily disposed for a gross cost of $1.5 million,
including legal fees, expenses and indemnity payments. Since 1976 the
Company has tried, settled or summarily disposed of approximately 16,000
claims for a gross cost of $7.6 million, including legal fees, expenses and
indemnity payments. Management has no reason to believe that carriers will
not be able to meet their obligations under the agreement.
Regarding the claims that are not currently covered by any agreement with
carriers, during the fiscal year, there were approximately 20,000 new claims
filed, and approximately 18,000 claims were tried, settled or summarily
disposed for a gross cost of $4.7 million, including legal fees, expenses and
indemnity payments. The Company has tried, settled or summarily disposed of
approximately 34,000 claims since 1976 for a total cost of $9.5 million,
including legal fees, expenses and indemnity payments. A lawsuit has been
filed against a separate group of insurers seeking to recover the defense and
indemnity costs for these claims, and the Company is in negotiation with
those carriers. There is no guarantee that the amount covered by insurance
under any future agreements will be similar to prior agreements. The Company
has provided for the estimated exposure of the open non-refractory claims
based upon recent per claim settlement costs.
In 1993 the Company sustained an adverse judgment in cases filed by employees
of Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The Company's share of
damages awarded in six cases amounted to $3.8 million plus 10% add on for
punitive damages. In August 1995 an agreement was reached with plaintiff's
counsel to settle these claims, along with 16,500 additional claims for which
the Company is responsible. Individual plaintiffs have the right to opt out
of the settlement. As of October 31, 1996, the Company had received
approximately 9,000 releases for a gross cost of approximately $10.2 million,
including legal fees, expenses and indemnity payments. These claims are
included in pending claims until all releases are obtained. No one had opted
out of the settlements and the judgment against the Company has been vacated.
The Company expects that the settlement will be implemented in its entirety
and has fully provided for its liability.
In December 1994 a jury in Baltimore, Maryland returned a verdict on the
liability portion of a consolidated asbestos case and awarded compensatory
damages for five trial plaintiffs, including two against the Company's former
Refractory Division. On February 9, 1995 the jury returned its verdict in
the punitive damages portion of the case, applying a 200% punitive damage
multiplier. During 1995 the Baltimore Court overturned the jury's verdict
both as to any Company responsibility for the asbestos illnesses of the two
individual trial plaintiffs and the punitive damage multiplier for the two
plaintiffs and future claimants. Plaintiffs have appealed the Court's
ruling. The Court did sustain the jury's findings that the Company was
negligent in using asbestos in its products and in addition is responsible
for any injury caused by exposure to those products on a strict liability
basis. These findings, which the Company has appealed, would apply to
additional claimants, each of whom would have to establish in a future
mini-trial both the existence of an asbestos-related disease and that the
Company's products were a substantial cause of that disease.

ASBESTOSIS LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
Included in the 69,000 pending claims at October 31, 1996 are approximately
31,000 settlements that are still carried as pending until all releases are
signed. Such settlements include the 16,500 Mississippi claims and
approximately 14,000 non-refractory claims in Texas, New York and New Jersey.
Resolution of these claims will reduce the number of pending claims at October
31, 1996 by approximately 35% for refractory product claims and 45% for non-
refractory product claims.
Management recognizes the uncertainties of litigation and the possibility that
a series of adverse rulings could materially impact operating results.
However, based upon the Company's historical experience with similar claims,
the time elapsed since the Company discontinued sale of products containing
asbestos, and management's understanding of the facts and circumstances which
gave rise to such claims, management believes that the pending asbestos claims
will be resolved without material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
QUANTUM CHEMICAL LITIGATION
In October 1992 Quantum Chemical Corporation ("Quantum") brought suit against
the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, The M. W. Kellogg Company ("Kellogg"),
alleging that Kellogg negligently failed to provide an adequate design for an
ethylene facility which Kellogg designed and constructed for Quantum and
fraudulently misrepresented the state of development of its Millisecond
Furnace technology to be used in the facility. Quantum sought $200 million
in actual damages and twice that amount in punitive damages. Kellogg
answered denying the claim and filed a counterclaim against Quantum alleging
libel, slander, breach of contract and fraud. The case was tried during
1995. On November 30, 1995 the jury returned a verdict finding that there
was no fraud on the part of Kellogg, that Quantum's claim was barred by the
statute of limitations, that Quantum is liable for $4.3 million in breach of
contract damages, that Quantum is liable for $4.1 million in damages for
theft of trade secrets, and that Quantum is liable for $3.0 million of
Kellogg's legal fees. Quantum has filed a motion for a new trial and the
case is now on appeal. The Company has not recognized any income related to
the jury verdict.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company has been preliminarily identified as a potentially responsible
party in 97 Superfund sites. Primary responsibility for eight of these sites
was assumed by Global Industrial Technologies Inc. and there is joint
responsibility at three sites. The Company has entered into settlements at 35
sites at a total cost of $2 million. Upon evaluation of the information
concerning various sites, the Company determined that it is not a responsible
party and had no liability at 26 sites. Based on the Company's historical
experience with similar claims and management's understanding of the facts and
circumstances, management believes that the resolution of liability at the 28
remaining sites will be reached without material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

OTHER LITIGATION
The Company is involved in certain other legal actions and claims arising in
the ordinary course of business. Management recognizes the uncertainties of
litigation and the possibility that one or more adverse rulings could
materially impact operating results. However, based upon the nature of and
management's understanding of the facts and circumstances which gave rise to
such actions and claims, management believes that such litigation and claims
will be resolved without material effect on the Company's financial position or

OTHER COMMITMENTS
Total rental and lease expense charged to earnings was $107.0 million in 1996,
$103.4 million in 1995 and $99.0 million in 1994. At October 31, 1996 the
aggregate minimum annual obligations under noncancelable leases were: $58.9
million for 1997; $35.8 million for 1998; $23.9 million for 1999; $15.5 million
for 2000; $13.6 million for 2001 and $50.3 million for all subsequent years.
The lease obligations related primarily to general and sales office space and
warehouses.

Accrued compensation and benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets include the

Assumptions used to calculate the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation
as of October 31 were as follows:
Discount rate - 8.0% for 1996 and 8.25% for 1995 and 1994
Health care trend rate (weighted based on participant count) -
1996 - 10.0% for 1996 declining to 5.5% in 2002 and level thereafter.
1995 - 10.0% for 1995 declining to 5.5% in 2002 and level thereafter.
1994 - 12.0% for 1994 declining to 5.5% in 2003 and level thereafter.
A one percentage-point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate for
each year would increase the net postretirement benefit expense for 1996 by
approximately $3.3 million and would increase the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of October 31, 1996 by approximately $28.1 million.
PENSION PLANS AND RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS
The Company has numerous defined benefit pension plans covering certain
employees in the United States. The benefits under the U.S. plans are based
primarily on years of service and employees' qualifying compensation during the
final years of employment for salaried employees and are based primarily on
years of service for hourly employees. The U.S. plans are funded in accordance
with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations. The U.S. plan assets
are invested in cash, short-term investments, equities, fixed-income
instruments and real estate at October 31, 1996.

PENSION PLANS AND RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS (CONTINUED)
The Company has additional defined benefit pension plans for employees outside
the United States. The benefits under these plans are based primarily on years
of service and compensation levels. The Company funds these plans in amounts
sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements under governmental
regulations, plus such additional amounts as the Company may deem appropriate.
The Company has defined contribution 401(K) plans for most of its U.S. salaried
employees and certain U.S. union hourly employees. Under these plans, eligible
employees may contribute amounts through payroll deductions. The employee
contributions and employer contributions are invested in funds available under
the plans.
Expense for all defined contribution plans was $41.8 million, $24.4 million and
$18.6 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The 1996 expense increase
versus 1995 resulted from a full year's cost of the new retirement savings plan
compared with five months in 1995. The 1995 expense increase versus 1994
resulted from the costs of the new retirement savings plan. The expense
increases were substantially offset by lower defined benefit plan expenses.

In 1994 the Company recorded expenses associated with the Wheatley merger (See

The Company paid $9.5 million in February 1994 for the settlement of drill bit
pricing litigation.
In 1994 the Company accrued expenses of $6.2 million primarily for personnel
reduction costs associated with restructuring its Valve and Controls
operations. Of the costs, $2.5 million was paid in 1994 and $3.7 million was
paid in 1995.
NOTE M - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for purposes of
trading. The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value because
of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term
debt, including the current portion, were lower than fair value by $1.6 million
at October 31, 1996 and $4.8 million at October 31, 1995. Fair values of the
debt were determined by reference to market interest rates.
The Company has cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables denominated
in currencies other than functional currencies. These financial assets and
liabilities create exposure to potential foreign exchange gains and losses
arising on future changes in currency exchange rates. The Company hedges such
risks by entering into forward exchange contracts. A forward exchange contract
is an agreement to exchange different currencies at a specified future date and
forward rate. The Company does not enter into forward contracts to engage in
speculation, nor does the Company hedge investments in foreign entities. The
Company had $282.9 million and $394.0 million, notional amounts, of forward
exchange contracts outstanding at October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
notional amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions and do
not represent exposure to loss. At October 31, 1996, substantially all of
these contracts were in European currencies. The carrying value of the
contracts was not significant. The fair value of the contracts, based on year-
end quoted rates for purchasing contracts with similar terms and maturity
dates, approximated carrying value and was also not significant.
See Note C for information about a derivative financial instrument that the
Company entered into with the purchasers of part of the Company's investment in
an unconsolidated affiliate.
The Company's financial instruments do not represent significant credit risks
at October 31, 1996 because they are either with high quality financial
institutions or widely dispersed across many customers and financial
institutions.

UNDERTAKINGS
For the purpose of complying with the rules governing registration statements
on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended effective July 31,
1990), the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows, which
undertaking shall be incorporated by reference into Registrant's registration
statements on Form S-8 Nos. 2-76847 (filed April 5, 1982), 2-81536 (filed
January 28, 1983), 33-26099 (filed December 21, 1988), 33-30821 (filed
August 28, 1989), 33-48165 (filed May 27, 1992), 33-52067 (filed January 28,
1994) and 33-52989 (filed April 6, 1994), and to the Post-Effective Amendments
on Form S-8 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 Nos. 33-50563 (filed January
28, 1994) and 33-54099 (filed August 31, 1994):
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
Registrant pursuant to the provisions of the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of 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, 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.

DRESSER INDUSTRIES, INC.
ARTICLE I
SECTION 1. PRINCIPAL OFFICE IN DELAWARE.
The principal office shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New
Castle, and the name of the resident agent in charge thereof is the Corporation
Service Company, 1013 Centre Road, Wilmington, Delaware 19805.
SECTION 2. OTHER OFFICES.
The Company may also have offices at such other places, either within or
without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time
appoint or as the business of the Company may require.
ARTICLE II
SECTION 1. ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company shall be held at the
principal office of the Company, Dallas, Texas, or at such other place within or
without the State of Texas at such time and on such date in the months of March,
April or May of each year as the Directors may determine. In the absence of a
determination by the Directors, the Annual Meeting of Shareholders shall be held
at the principal office of the Company, Dallas, Texas at 10:00 a.m. on the third
Thursday in March of each year, if not a legal holiday or, if a legal holiday,
then on the next succeeding business day. The Directors shall be elected at the
Annual Meeting and such other business transacted as may properly be brought
before the meeting.
SECTION 2. SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS.
Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes may be
called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman or the
President or a majority of the Board of Directors, and each such special meeting
unless another place is designated by a resolution of the Board of Directors,
shall be held at the office of the Company in Dallas, Texas. At any time, upon
written request of any person entitled to call a special meeting, it shall be
the duty of the Secretary to call such special meeting of the shareholders to be
held at such time as the Secretary may fix. The call of said special meeting
shall state the time and place of said meeting if said meeting is to be held at
some place other than the office of the Company, and the purpose or purposes of
the proposed meeting.

<PAGE>
SECTION 3. NOTICE OF MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS.
Written or printed notice of the time, place and purpose or purposes of the
Annual Meetings and of each special meeting of the shareholders shall be given
by or at the direction of the person authorized to call the meeting to each
shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting, at his last known address
as the same appears upon the books of the Company, not more than sixty (60) days
prior to the date of the meeting. It shall also be the duty of the Secretary to
provide for any further or additional notice that may be required by law. When
a meeting is adjourned, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the
adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting
other than by announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken.
SECTION 4. QUORUM.
At any meeting of the shareholders, the presence in person or by proxy of
the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at such
meeting shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, unless otherwise provided by
these By-Laws, the Certificate of Incorporation or by law. The shareholders
present at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until
adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less
than a quorum. If a meeting cannot be organized because a quorum has not
attended, those present may, except as otherwise provided by law, adjourn the
meeting to such time and place, without further notice, as they may determine,
but in the case of any meeting called for the election of Directors, those who
attend the second of such adjourned meetings, although less than a quorum as
fixed in this section of the By-Laws or in the Certificate of Incorporation,
shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing Directors.
SECTION 5. ORGANIZATION.
Meetings of the shareholders shall be called to order by the Chairman of
the Board or in his absence by the Vice Chairman or in the absence of both by
the President of the Company. Such person shall act as Chairman of the meeting
or, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman and the
President or with the consent of each of them if present in person, the meeting
may elect any shareholder present or the duly authorized proxy of any
shareholder to act as Chairman of the meeting.
The Secretary of the Company or, in his absence, any Assistant Secretary in
attendance, shall act as Secretary of all meetings of shareholders, but if
neither the Secretary nor any Assistant Secretary be present thereat the
presiding officer may appoint any person to act as Secretary of the meeting and
to keep the record of the proceedings.
SECTION 6. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION.
Three Inspectors of Election may be appointed by the Board of Directors
before or at each meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which an
election of Directors shall take place. If no such appointment shall have been
made, or if the Inspectors appointed by the Board of Directors shall refuse to
act or fail to attend, then the appointment shall be made by the presiding
officer at the meeting. The Inspectors shall receive and take in charge all
proxies and ballots, and shall decide all questions concerning the qualification
of voters, the validity of
2
<PAGE>
proxies, the acceptance and rejection of votes, and shall count the votes
cast and shall make a report of the results thereof to the meeting and make
such reports to the presiding officer with respect to the foregoing as he may
request.
SECTION 7. ORDER OF BUSINESS.
The order of business at all meetings of shareholders, unless otherwise
determined by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote
at said meeting present in person or represented by proxy, shall be determined
by the presiding officer.
SECTION 8. VOTING.
Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, every
shareholder of record shall have the right at every shareholders' meeting to one
(1) vote for every share standing in his name on the books of the Company.
Every shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy. Every proxy shall be
executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-
fact and filed with the Secretary of the Company. The proxy, unless coupled
with an interest, shall be revocable at will, notwithstanding any other
agreement or any provision in the proxy to the contrary, but the revocation
of the proxy shall not be effective until written notice thereof has been
given to the Secretary of the Company. No unrevoked proxy may be voted on
after three (3) years from the date of its execution unless the proxy
provides for a longer period. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or
incapacity of the maker unless before the vote is counted or the authority is
exercised, written notice of such death or incapacity is given to the
Secretary of the Company. A shareholder shall not sell his vote or execute a
proxy to any person for any sum of money or anything of value.
The stock transfer books of the Company shall be the evidence of the
ownership of the shares of stock for the purpose of voting. All elections
shall be held and all questions shall be decided by a plurality vote, except
as otherwise required by these By-Laws, the Certificate of Incorporation or
by law.
SECTION 9. VOTING LISTS.
The agent having charge of the transfer books for the shares of this
Company shall make, at least ten (10) days before each election of Directors, a
complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at said election, arranged in
alphabetical order, with the address of, and the number of shares held by each,
which list shall be open at the place where said election is to be held for ten
(10) days and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder of the Company
during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at
the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any
shareholder during the whole time of the Meeting. The original share ledger or
transfer book or duplicates thereof shall be the only evidence as to who are
shareholders entitled to examine such list or share ledger or transfer book or
to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the shareholders.

be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the Board, though less than
a quorum, and each person so elected shall be a Director until his successor is

certificate signed by or in the name of the Company by the Chairman or Vice
Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or a Vice President and by

Secretary of the Company and sealed with the corporate seal, which seal may be
facsimile engraved or printed, certifying the number of shares owned by such
holder in the Company. Any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be
facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or
whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased
to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is
issued, it may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if he or she
were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.
The certificates of stock of the Company shall be in such form as shall be
approved by the Board. Such certificates shall be successive in number and the
names and addresses of all persons owning shares of capital stock of the Company
with the number of shares owned by each and the date or dates of issue of the
shares of stock held by each, shall be entered on the books kept for that
purpose by the proper agents of the Company.
The Company shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or
shares of stock as the holder in fact thereof, and accordingly shall not be
bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or
shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it has actual or other
notice thereof.
SECTION 2. OLD CERTIFICATES TO BE CANCELLED.
Except in case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, and in that case
only after conforming to the requirements hereinafter provided, no new
certificates shall be issued until the former certificate for the shares
represented thereby shall have been surrendered and cancelled.
Any person claiming a certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed
shall make an affidavit of that fact and shall furnish to the Company and/or its
Transfer Agent or Agents, Registrar or Registrars, a Bond of Indemnity with one
(1) or more sureties in an amount satisfactory to the Board of Directors. The
affidavit and Bond of Indemnity shall be in such form and said Bond shall have
such surety or sureties as the Board of Directors may require;

<PAGE>
provided, however, that the Board of Directors may authorize officers of the
Company to approve the form of the affidavit and Bond of Indemnity and the
sufficiency of the surety or sureties thereon. Upon the furnishing and
approval of said affidavit and Bond of Indemnity, a new certificate may be
issued of the same tenor and for the same number of shares as the one alleged
to be lost, stolen or destroyed. In the event such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificate shall represent five (5) or less shares of the Common Stock of
the Company, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, accept a personal
indemnity bond in a form satisfactory to the Board of Directors, in lieu of

SECTION 6. FIXING CLOSING DATES.
The Board of Directors may fix in advance a date not exceeding sixty
(60) days preceding the date of any meeting of shareholders, or the date
fixed for the payment of any dividend or distribution, or the date for the
allotment of rights, or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of
shares will be made or go into effect, as a record date for the determination
of the shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting,
or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any such
dividend or distribution, or to receive any such allotment of rights, or to
exercise the rights in respect to any such change, conversion, or exchange of
shares, or in connection with the obtaining of the count of the shareholders
for any purpose. In such case, only such shareholders as shall be shareholders
of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote
at, such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or to receive payment of such
dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights
or give such consents, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of
any shares on the books of the Company after any record date fixed, as
aforesaid. The Board of Directors may close the books of the Company against
transfer of shares during the whole or any part of such period, and, in such
case, written or printed notice thereof shall be mailed at least ten (10)
days before the closing thereof to each shareholder of record at the address
appearing on the records of the Company or supplied by him to the Company for
the purpose of notice. While the stock transfer books of the Company are
closed, no transfer of shares shall be made thereon. In the event that the
10
<PAGE>
Board of Directors shall not in advance of a meeting of shareholders have
closed the transfer books, or have fixed a record date for the determination
of the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the
shareholders, no shares of stock, which have been transferred on the books
of the Company within twenty (20) days next preceding such meeting, shall be
entitled to notice or shall be voted at any such meeting.

Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and of the
laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, from

fix.

Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, deeds, contracts,
leases, agreements and other documents shall be signed by the Chairman of the

or any Assistant Secretary, or the Treasurer, or any Assistant Treasurer.
Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, promissory notes,
debentures and bonds shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, or the Vice

or shareholder at his or her address as the same appears in the books of the
Company, and the time when the same shall be mailed shall be deemed to be the

officer, whether before or after the time stated in said waiver, shall be deemed
equivalent to such notice.
