PROSPECTUS

                                2,000,000 SHARES


                                 HONEYWELL INC.

                                  COMMON STOCK

                            PAR VALUE $1.50 PER SHARE


                              ---------------------


     This Prospectus relates to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares (the "Shares")
of Common Stock, par value $1.50 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Honeywell
Inc. (the "Company") to be sold from time to time by the Company pursuant to an
Option described below at a price of $33.00 per share and to be resold from time
to time by certain shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") in transactions on
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") through licensed broker-dealers, at then
prevailing market prices or otherwise at prices and on terms then obtainable.
The expenses of the registration of the Shares, including legal and accounting
fees, will be paid by the Company.

     On April 20, 1993, the Company granted an option (the "Option") to purchase
up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $33.00 per share to the
Honeywell Foundation, a charitable organization (the "Foundation"). Pursuant to
its terms, the Foundation is authorized to transfer all or a portion of the
Option, with or without consideration, to one or more unrelated charitable

advised the Company that it intends to so transfer portions of the Option to the
Selling Shareholders.

     The Selling Shareholders have advised the Company that they have not made
any arrangement with any broker-dealer for the sale of the Shares. The Selling
Shareholders and any broker-dealer acting in connection with the sale of the
Shares hereunder may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), in which case any commissions received by a
broker-dealer and any profit realized by them on the resale of the Shares as
principal may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Act.  See
"Plan of Distribution."

     The Shares offered hereby have not been registered under the blue sky or
securities laws of any jurisdiction, and any broker-dealer should assure the
existence of an exemption from registration or effectuate such registration in
connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.

     The Common Stock is traded on the NYSE. On January   , 1995 the closing
price of the Common Stock, as reported by the NYSE, was $               .

                     TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

any arrangement with any broker-dealer for the sale of the Shares. The Selling
Shareholders and any broker-dealer acting in connection with the sale of the
Shares hereunder may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Act, in which case any commissions received by a broker-dealer and any profit
realized by them on the resale of the Shares as principal may be deemed
underwriting compensation under the Act.


                             VALIDITY OF THE SHARES

     The validity of the Shares will be passed upon for the Company by

     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to
     be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
     amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the 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, the 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.

                         OPINION OF HERBERT HENRYSON II



                                                                       Exhibit 5


The Board of Directors
Honeywell Inc.
Honeywell Plaza
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55408

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This opinion is being furnished to you in connection with the proposed
registration of 2,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, $1.50 par value
of Honeywell Inc. (the "Company").  In this connection, I have examined and am
familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of the following:

     1.   The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.

     2.   The Bylaws of the Company.

     3.   A resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted on April
          20, 1993 (the "Resolution").

     4.   The Stock Option Pledge Agreement (the "Option") between the Company
          and Honeywell Foundation dated as of April 20, 1993.

     5.   The Registration Statement on Form S-3, including exhibits (the
          "Registration Statement"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission (the "Commission") on or about the date hereof in
          connection with the registration of the Shares under the Securities
          Act of 1933, as amended.

     I have also examined such documents and reviewed such questions of law as I
have considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

<PAGE>

     In such examination, I have assumed the authenticity of all documents
submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures and the
conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to me as copies.  I
have also assumed the legal capacity for all purposes relevant hereto of all
natural persons.

     I am admitted to practice in the State of New York and I express no opinion
as to the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the corporate laws of the
State of Delaware and the securities laws of the United States of America to the
extent referenced herein.

     Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that upon exercise of the
Option in accordance with the terms thereof and the issuance of the Shares, the
Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     I hereby consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to me under the caption "Validity of
the Shares" contained in the Prospectus included therein.  Except as otherwise
provided herein, this opinion is solely for your benefit and is not to be used,
circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose without my
express permission.


Dated:   December 30, 1994


                                        Very truly yours,

                          STOCK OPTION PLEDGE AGREEMENT

          THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the 20th day of
     April, 1993, by and between Honeywell Inc., a Delaware corporation
     ("Honeywell"), and the Honeywell Foundation (the "Foundation"), a Minnesota
     corporation which has been qualified as a tax-exempt charitable corporation
     under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
     (the "Code") and has been determined to be a private foundation within the
     meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code.

          WITNESSETH:

          WHEREAS, Honeywell desires to make contributions to charitable
     organizations established under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to facilitate
     the aims and purposes of same; and

          WHEREAS, the Foundation is engaged in the business of sponsoring or
     supporting non-profit activities and programs, which includes contributing
     to unrelated charitable organizations which are also engaged in non-profit
     activities and programs; and

          WHEREAS, to facilitate the charitable objectives of Honeywell and the
     Foundation, Honeywell has determined that it would be appropriate to pledge
     an option to purchase shares of its common stock ("Honeywell Common Stock")
     to the Foundation for the purpose of assisting the Foundation in making
     charitable contributions in furtherance of charitable objectives;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties hereto,
     intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

               1.   PLEDGE OF OPTION.  For no consideration, Honeywell hereby
     pledges to the Foundation an option (the "Option") to purchase two million
     (2,000,000) shares (each herein a "Share") of Honeywell Common Stock,
     subject to adjustment as set forth below, on the terms and conditions
     hereinafter set forth.

               2.   EXERCISE OF OPTION; TRANSFERABILITY.  The Option shall be
     exercisable in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time during
     the term thereof, by the Foundation, PROVIDED that any such exercise does
     not constitute an act of "self dealing"

<PAGE>


     within the meaning of Section 4941 of the Code.  Irrespective of whether or
     not the Foundation is able to exercise the Option without engaging in an
     act of "self-dealing", the Foundation shall have the right, upon thirty
     (30) days written notice to Honeywell, to transfer all or a portion of the
     Option, with or without consideration, to one or more organizations,
     unrelated to either the Foundation or Honeywell, which are qualified as
     public charities under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code (each such
     organization being herein referred to as the "Optionee").  Any such
     transfer shall be evidenced by an agreement substantially in the form of
     Exhibit A attached hereto. The Optionee shall have the right to exercise
     the Option or portion thereof transferred, in whole but not in part.  The
     Optionee shall have no right to transfer the Option or such portion without
     the prior written consent of Honeywell.

               3.   TERM. The term of the Option shall be for a period not to
     exceed five (5) years, commencing as of April 20, 1993 and expiring on the
     earlier of (x) the date on which all Shares subject thereto have been
     purchased, or (y) April 20, 1998.

               4.   METHOD OF EXERCISE. At least five (5) days prior to the date
     on which the Option or any portion thereof transferred to any Optionee is
     to be exercised, the Foundation or such Optionee, as the case may be, shall
     deliver to Honeywell written notice of its election to exercise the Option
     or such portion, specifying the date and time for the purchase of the
     Shares represented by same.  The date specified in such notice shall be a
     business day, and the time specified shall be during the regular business
     hours of Honeywell.

               5.   EXERCISE PRICE. The purchase price for each Share subject to
     the Option shall be Thirty Tbree Dollars ($33.00), which amount represents
     the average of the high and low sale prices of Honeywell Common Stock on
     April 20,1993 as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange.  The per Share
     purchase price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in paragraph 7
     hereinbelow.

               6.   PAYMENT AND DELIVERY OF SHARES. The Foundation or the
     Optionee, as the case may be, shall, at the date and time specified in the
     notice referred to in paragraph 4 hereinabove, deliver a bank cashier's or
     treasurer's check or checks payable in New York Clearing House funds in the
     amount of the aggregate purchase price for the Shares being purchased.
     Arrangements may also be made for payment by wire transfer.  The aggregate
     purchase price shall be determined by multiplying the per Share purchase
     price set forth in


                                      - 2 -

<PAGE>

     paragraph 5 hereinabove by the number of Shares being purchased, after
     giving effect to any adjustments required pursuant to paragraph 7
     hereinbelow.  Such delivery shall be made to Honeywell at its principal
     office in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and such check or checks, or wire
     instructions shall be drawn to the order of Honeywell.  Contemporaneously
     with payment of the aggregate purchase price, Honeywell shall deliver to
     the Foundation or any Optionee, as the case may be, duly endorsed and in
     proper form for transfer, certificates representing the Shares of being
     purchased.

          The Foundation understands that the Option has not been registered
     under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").  Honeywell hereby
     undertakes to use its best efforts to register the Shares under the Act.
     In connection with the registration of the Option and/or Shares under the
     Act for purposes of resales by the Foundation, the Foundation agrees to
     cooperate with Honeywell, including, but not limited to, providing
     Honeywell with all the necessary information regarding the Foundation which
     may be required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or the
     Prospectus relating to the Option and/or Shares.

          If the Shares being purchased at any particular time have not been
     registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, then each
     certificate representing the Shares being purchased shall bear the
     following legend:

                    "The shares of stock represented by this certificate have
                    not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
                    amended, and such shares may not be sold except pursuant to
                    an effective registration statement or an available
                    exemption from registration."

               7.   ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION SHARES.  In the event of any merger,
     reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, spin-off,
     liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, share combination or other change in
     the corporate or capital structure of Honeywell affecting Honeywell Common
     Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the number and class of Shares
     which may be delivered upon exercise of the Option or any portion thereof,
     and in the number and class of and/or price of Shares subject to the
     Option, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by Honeywell
     in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights;
     provided that the number of Shares subject to the Option shall always be a
     whole number.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any merger or


                                      - 3 -

<PAGE>

     consolidation is effected through the payment of cash for Honeywell Common
     Stock, then upon exercise of the Option or any portion thereof, the
     Foundation or any Optionee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to
     receive the cash equivalent for the Shares subject to the Option or such
     portion, determined based on the value of Honeywell Common Stock at the
     time of such merger or consolidation, less the amount of the aggregate
     exercise price of the Option or such portion.

               8.   REPRESENTATIONS BY HONEYWELL. Honeywell hereby makes the
     following representations to the Foundation:

                    (a)  Honeywell has full corporate power and authority to
     execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
     contemplated hereby.

                    (b)  On the date of delivery of the Shares to the Foundation
     or any Optionee, the Shares will be free and clear of all claims and
     encumbrances and the Foundation or such Optionee, as the case may be, shall
     receive good and marketable title to the Shares, subject to any transfer
     restrictions which may be applicable under federal or state securities
     laws.

                    (c)  Honeywell is a Delaware corporation in good standing
     under the laws of the State of Delaware as of the date hereof and will be
     at the closing of each purchase of Shares upon exercise of the Option.

               9.   REPRESENTATIONS BY THE FOUNDATION. The Foundation hereby
     makes the following representations to Honeywell:

                    (a)  The Foundation has full corporate power and authority
     to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
     contemplated hereby.

                    (b)  The Foundation is acquiring the Option, and, to the
     extent it is able to exercise the Option pursuant to the terms hereof, will
     acquire the Shares issued upon exercise of the Option, for its own account
     and not with a view to any resale or distribution thereof in violation of
     applicable securities laws, and will not sell the Option or any portion
     thereof or any Shares unless the Option or Shares are registered under the
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from registration is
     available.

          10.  DIVIDENDS; VOTING RIGHTS.  Subject to paragraph 7 hereinabove,
     all dividends declared upon Shares subject to the Option or any unexercised
     portion thereof shall belong to Honeywell absolutely.  Further, neither the
     Foundation nor any Optionee shall have any voting rights or other rights of
     a shareholder with respect to the Shares subject to the unexercised Option

          12.  NON-WAIVER.  No delay or failure by either party to exercise any

     otherwise expressly provided herein.

          13.  FURTHER ASSURANCES.  Honeywell and the Foundation will execute
     and deliver all such further documents and instruments and take all such

                         STOCK OPTION TRANSFER AGREEMENT


          THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of______________, 199__ by
     and between Honeywell Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Honeywell"), the
     Honeywell Foundation (the "Foundation"), a corporation which has been
     qualified as a tax-exempt charitable corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of
     the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and has been
     determined to be a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a)
     of the Code, and _______________________ (the "Optionee"), a ______________
     corporation qualified as a tax-exempt charitable corporation under Section
     501(c)(3) of the Code.

          WITNESSETH:

          WHEREAS, Honeywell and the Foundation have entered into that certain
     Stock Option Pledge Agreement dated as of April 20, 1993 (the "Pledge
     Agreement"), pursuant to which Honeywell has pledged to the Foundation an
     option (the "Option") to purchase shares (each herein a "Share") of its
     common stock ("Honeywell Common Stock"); and

          WHEREAS, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the Foundation is
     permitted, at any time, and from time to time, to transfer all or a portion
     of the Option, to one or more organizations unrelated to the Foundation or
     Honeywell, which are qualified as public charities under Section 501(c)(3)
     of the Code; and

          WHEREAS, the Foundation desires to transfer to the Optionee [all] [a
     portion of the Option], and has requested Honeywell to enter into this
     Agreement to effectuate such transfer;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the terms and
     conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
     bound, hereby agree as follows:

          1.   OPTION.  The Foundation hereby transfers to the Optionee, all of
     its right, title and interest in and to [all] [a portion] of the Option
     (such transferred Option or


<PAGE>

          portion thereof of being hereinafter referred to as the "Transferred
          Option") which represents the right to purchase____________ Shares at
          a purchase price of Thirty-Three Dollars ($33.00) per Share.
          [Recite consideration to be paid to the Foundation, if any.]

          2.   TERM.  The Transferred Option may be exercised in whole, but not
     in part, at any time on or before April 20, 1998.

          3.   METHOD OF EXERCISE.  At least five (5) days prior to the date on
     which the Transferred Option is to be exercised, the Optionee shall deliver
     to Honeywell written notice of its election to exercise the Transferred
     Option specifying the date and time for the purchase of the Shares
     represented by same.  The date specified in such notice shall be a business
     day, and the time specified shall be during the regular business hours of
     Honeywell.

          4.   PAYMENT AND DELIVERY OF SHARES.  The Optionee shall, at the date
     and time specified in the notice referred to in paragraph 3 hereinabove,
     deliver a bank cashier's or treasurer's check or checks payable in New
     York Clearing House funds in the amount of the aggregate purchase price for
     the Shares being purchased.  Arrangements may also be made for payment by
     wire transfer.  The aggregate purchase price shall be determined by
     multiplying the per Share purchase price set forth in paragraph 1
     hereinabove, by the number of Shares subject to the Transferred Option,
     after giving effect to any adjustments determined pursuant to paragraph 5
     hereinbelow.  Such delivery shall be made to Honeywell at its principal
     office in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and such check or checks, or wire
     instructions shall be drawn to the order of Honeywell.  Contemporaneously
     with such payments, Honeywell shall deliver to the Optionee, duly endorsed
     and in proper form for transfer, certificates representing the Shares being
     purchased.

          Honeywell shall advise the Optionee as to whether the Shares have been
     registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").  In
     connection with the registration of the Shares under the Act, the Optionee
     agrees to cooperate with Honeywell and the Foundation, including, but not
     limited to, providing Honeywell and the Foundation with all the necessary
     information regarding the Optionee which may be required to be disclosed
     in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Shares.

                                       A-2

<PAGE>

          If the Shares being purchased at any particular time have not been
     registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, then each
     certificate representing the Shares being purchased shall bear the
     following legend:

               "The shares of stock represented by this certificate have not
               been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
               such shares may not be sold except pursuant to an effective
               registration statement or an available exemption from
               registration."

          5.    ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION SHARES. In the event of any merger,
     reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, spin-off,
     liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, share combination or other change in
     the corporate or capital structure of Honeywell affecting Honeywell Common
     Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the number and class of Shares
     which may be delivered upon exercise of the Transferred Option, and in the
     number and class of and/or price of Shares subject to the Transferred
     Option, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by Honeywell
     in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights;
     provided that the number of Shares subject to the Transferred Option,
     shall always be a whole number.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
     event any merger or consolidation is effected through the payment of cash
     for Honeywell Common Stock, then upon exercise of the Transferred Option
     the Optionee shall be entitled to receive the cash equivalent for the
     Shares subject to the Transferred Option, determined based on the value of
     Honeywell Common Stock at the time of such merger or consolidation, less
     the amount of the aggregate exercise price for the Transferred Option.

          6.   REPRESENTATIONS BY HONEYWELL. Honeywell hereby makes the
     following representations to the Foundation and the Optionee:

               (a)  Honeywell has full corporate power and authority to execute

     securities laws.
