     the consolidated statements of operations for the
     three months and nine months ended July 31, 1994 and
     1993 and cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 1994 and
     1993 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management,
     all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
     financial statements referred to above have been made,
     none of which were other than normal recurring
     accruals.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
- - -------  -------------------------------------------------------------         
         and Financial Condition
         -----------------------
Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 (ended July 31) were 
$1.5 million, or $.23 per share, on sales of
$71.7 million, compared with net earnings of $404,000, or
$.06 per share, on sales of $69.1 million in the year-ago
quarter. For the nine months ended July 31, 1994, net
earnings were $2.3 million, or $.35 per share, on sales of
$200.4 million, compared with net earnings of $1.2 million,
or $.18 per share, on sales of $208 million in the prior-
year period.  Earnings in both fiscal 1994 periods reflect
lower amortization expense resulting from a restructuring
plan effected at the end of fiscal 1993.

Performance in the Automation Group improved as group
markets continued to strengthen, and as a result, sales and
profitability for the current quarter and year-to-date
periods were ahead of comparable prior-year periods.  Sales
and operating earnings in the Instrumentation Group improved
slightly during the third quarter, and were lower in the
Aerospace and Defense Group.

Company-wide gross margin as a percent of sales for the
quarter and nine months ended July 31, 1994 increased to 40%
and 39%, respectively, compared with 39% and 38% for the
same year-ago periods.  Individual operating group gross
margin percentages ranged from 37% to 41%.  Selling, general
and administrative expenses in 1994's third quarter totaled
$24.7 million and were slightly higher than the prior-year
quarter. However, for the nine months ended July 31, 1994,
these expenses were $2.6 million lower than a year ago,
primarily due to reduced sales commissions resulting from
the lower sales level in the first quarter of 1994, reduced
amortization expense and continuing cost containment
efforts.  Interest expense was $118,000 lower in the third
quarter of 1994 compared with the same prior-year quarter.
Effective income tax rates for the third quarter and nine-month
periods of 1994 were 36% and 37%, respectively, compared with 40%
for the yearago periods.

Order input in the third quarter of 1994 totaled
$90.5 million, compared with $64.4 million in the prior-year
quarter.  For the nine months ended July 31, 1994, order
input was $235.4 million, compared with $189.6 million a year
earlier.  The increases were primarily attributable to
continued strengthening in domestic markets for key
Automation Group operations and to the favorable timing of
longer-term orders in the Aerospace and Defense Group.
Backlog at July 31, 1994 was $106.4 million, compared with $78.8
million a year earlier.  At July 31, 1994, $51 million of
Company-wide backlog was scheduled to be delivered after
fiscal 1994.

The Company's fourth quarter 1993 restructuring plan remains
substantially on schedule.  Of the $40.6 million pre-tax
restructuring charge recorded in fiscal 1993, $17.7 million is
related to actions completed prior to July 31, 1994,
including the write-off of intangible assets, employee
severance and the sale of assets (excluding plant) of a
subsidiary.  The remaining $22.9 million relates to ongoing
actions which, in management's opinion, is adequate based
on current cost estimates and includes the sale or shutdown
of certain small operations, anticipated losses on sale of
vacant facilities, employee severance, and consolidation of
facilities.

Financial Condition
- - -------------------
Cash requirements in connection with the fourth quarter 1993
restructuring plan have not been significant, and on an
overall basis, are not anticipated to be significant.

The Company's total debt and working capital increased
during the third quarter to $67.6 million and $14.5 million,
respectively, primarily due to increased levels of inventory
and receivables offset by a slight increase in notes
payable. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be
approximately $12 million during fiscal 1994, compared with
$9.6 million in fiscal 1993.  At July 31, 1994, $8.4 million had been
expended.  Capital expenditures primarily consist of
machinery and equipment and computers.  The Company expects
to finance its foreseeable working capital requirements and
capital expenditures from available cash resources,
including bank credit lines and funds generated from
operations.  Total funds available at July 31, 1994
consisted of cash on hand of $814,000, plus approximately
$33 million available under shortterm commitments with domestic
and foreign banks.
