        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          SEPTEMBER 29, 1995
                              (unaudited)
                                   
  
  
  NOTE 1.     GENERAL
  
      The consolidated condensed financial statements included herein
  have been prepared by Danaher Corporation (the Company) without audit,
  pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
  Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
  in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
  accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
  and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are
  adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The condensed
  financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the
  financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1994
  Annual Report on Form 10-K. 
  
       In the opinion of the registrant, the accompanying financial
  statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
  adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
  Company at September 29, 1995 and December 31, 1994, its results of
  operations for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 1995 and
  September 30, 1994, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September
  29, 1995 and September 30, 1994.
  
  NOTE 2.     ACQUISITION OF JOSLYN CORPORATION
  
      The Company obtained control of Joslyn Corporation (Joslyn) as of
  September 1, 1995 when Joslyn's shareholders tendered approximately 75% of
  the outstanding shares to Danaher for $34 per share in cash.  The remaining
  25% is expected to be acquired in late October, 1995.  Total consideration
  for Joslyn will be approximately $245 million.  The fair value of assets to
  be acquired is approximately $345 million and approximately $100 million of
  liabilities will be assumed.  The transaction is being accounted for as a
  step acquisition purchase, whereby assets and liabilities are reflected on
  a 75% fair value basis and a 25% historical cost basis until the acquisition
  is completed.  Results of operations reflect a minority interest
  elimination.  The purchase price allocations have been completed on a
  preliminary basis, subject to adjustment should new or additional facts
  about the business become known.
  
      The unaudited pro forma information for the periods set forth
  below give effect to the transaction as if it had occurred at the beginning
  of each period.  The pro forma information is presented for information
  purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
  that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated
  as of that time.  Both periods in 1994 include Joslyn's $35 million ($21
  million after tax benefit or $0.36 per share) provision for environmental
  remediation associated with sites previously owned by Joslyn  (unaudited,
  000's omitted):

  ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  
  
  Results of Operations
  
  
    Net revenues for the 1995 quarter and nine-month period were 23.9% and
  25.6% higher compared to the corresponding periods in 1994.  Customer demand
  was higher in all business segments other than the Transportation segment. 
  Acquisitions accounted for approximately 20% and 18% of sales growth in the
  quarter and  the nine-month period.
  
    Gross profit margin for the 1995 third quarter and nine-month period,
  as a percentage of sales, was approximately 28.8% and 28.3%, respectively. 
  For the quarter, gross profit margin is flat between years, and it is up 0.7
  percentage points over the nine-month period.  Acquisitions make these
  periods somewhat noncomparable.  However, on a mix-adjusted basis, margins
  have increased in all 1995 periods when compared to the 1994 performance due
  to productivity improvements combined with increased fixed cost leverage.
  
    Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 1995 third quarter
  as a percentage of sales were approximately 0.1 percentage points lower than
  the 1994 level.  For the 1995 nine-month period, these costs as a percentage
  of sales are also lower principally due to restructuring and other cost
  reduction actions taken in earlier periods, and the fixed nature of certain
  costs.
  
    Interest expense for the 1995 quarter and nine-month period was 46.3%
  and 37.5% higher than the 1994 levels due to higher average debt levels,
  principally due to acquisitions made in 1994 and the Joslyn acquisition in
  September, 1995.
  
    The effective tax rate for both the third quarter and nine-month period
  is lower in 1995 than in 1994.  This reflects principally the lesser impact
  of nondeductible goodwill amortization given higher pretax earnings.
                                                   
  
  Liquidity and Capital Resources
    
    Total debt increased $110.7 million in the third quarter to $317.2
  million.  This reflects principally $165 million used to acquire the 75% of
  Joslyn Corporation stock tendered to September 1, 1995, as well as net
  earnings offset by an increase in net working capital.  Increased accounts
  receivable were largely related to the consumer hand tool business which had
  just entered its peak selling season.  The Company anticipates reductions
  in working capital levels in the fourth quarter.
  
    The Company's regular quarterly dividend of $.02 per share was declared 
  for holders of record on September 28, 1995, payable on October 27, 1995.
  
    The Company's cash provided from operations, as well as credit
  facilities available, should provide sufficient available funds to meet
  anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividends
    and scheduled debt repayments. <PAGE>
