         This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D first
filed on June 16, 1997, (as amended by Amendments Nos. 1, 2 and 3, the "Schedule
13D"), by CTS Corporation, an Indiana corporation ("CTS"), and CTS First
Acquisition Corp. ("Sub"), a New York corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary
of CTS. Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein are
so used with the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following thereto:

         On October 16, 1997, the Merger was consummated. In connection with the
consummation of the Merger, (i) the Company was merged with and into Sub and the
Company's separate corporate existence terminated by operation of law and (ii)
Sub was renamed Dynamics Corporation of America. Therefore, as of the effective
time of the Merger, the Company ceased to exist and CTS and Sub ceased to be
beneficial owners of any outstanding shares of the Company.
