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 accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company at March 31, 1995 and December
31, 1994, its results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and April 1, 1994, and its cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 and April 1, 1994. 

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations


     Net Revenues for the first quarter of 1995 of $376.5 million
were 30.2% higher than the 1994 quarter.  Revenues were higher in
all business segments.  This increase is principally the result of
higher demand for the Company's products within the markets
currently served along with acquisitions made in the fourth quarter
of 1994 which accounted for approximately 16% of the increase.

     Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 1995, as a
percentage of sales, was 27.2% which represents a 1.0 percentage
point increase from 1994 levels.  This results principally from the
contribution of higher sales given the fixed nature of certain
costs coupled with productivity improvements. 

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 1995
first quarter were 28% higher than in 1994 because of higher sales
levels.  As a percentage of sales, these costs decreased to 15.7%
from 16.0% in 1994, as a result of cost reduction steps taken in
earlier periods and the fixed nature of certain costs.

     Interest expense of $3,174,000 in 1995 was 31% higher than the
corresponding 1994 period.  Total debt levels were higher in 1995,
reflecting the acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 1994.  

     The 1995 effective tax rate of 40% is 1% lower than the 1994
effective rate, reflecting the lesser impact of nondeductible
goodwill amortization given higher pretax earnings.

     


<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources




          During the first quarter of 1995, the Company experienced
increases in accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable. 
This is principally due to the lower activity levels experienced in
the last weeks of the 1994 year due to the holiday season.  Total
debt under the Company's borrowing facilities decreased to $181.7
at March 31, 1995, compared to $185.3 at December 27, 1994, due to
earnings for the quarter offset somewhat by the seasonal working
capital increase discussed above.

          The Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.02
per share payable on April 28, 1995, to holders of record on March 
27, 1995.  

          The Company's cash provided from operations, as well as
credit facilities available, should provide sufficient available
funds to meet normal working capital requirements, capital
expenditures, dividends and scheduled debt repayments.
