INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Ingersoll-Rand Company Benefits Committee and Participants
in the Ingersoll-Rand Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition
of the Ingersoll-Rand Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan
(the "Plan") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
statements of income and changes in plan equity for the years then
ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Ingersoll-Rand Company Benefits Committee (the "Benefits
Committee").  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
Benefits Committee, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial condition of the Plan as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the income and changes in plan
equity for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
schedules listed in the Table of Contents are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements, but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  These schedules are the responsibility of
the Benefits Committee.  Such schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1999
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects when considered in relation to the basic 1999
financial statements taken as a whole.

INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY SAVINGS AND STOCK INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998


1. PLAN DESCRIPTION

   The following brief description of the Ingersoll-Rand Company
   Savings and Stock Investment Plan (the "Plan") provides only
   general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan
   Document for a more complete description of the Plan's
   provisions.

   General - Ingersoll-Rand Company (the "Company") adopted the
   Plan for eligible employees at participating locations.  Prior
   to July 1, 1999, eligible participants could participate in the
   Plan on the first day of the month following 30 calendar days of
   employment.  Effective July 1, 1999, automatic enrollment was
   instituted for the Plan, whereby a new employee is automatically
   enrolled in the Plan upon date of hire with a 2% pre-tax
   contribution set-up.  The employee then has a period of
   approximately 30 days to elect to not contribute to the Plan.
   Payroll deductions, consequently, do not begin until such period
   has expired.

   The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase") and PricewaterhouseCoopers
   are the trustee and recordkeeper of the Plan, respectively.

   The Benefits Committee, which is appointed by the Company's
   Board of Directors (or its delegate), administers the Plan.  The
   Finance Committee of the Company's Board of Directors
   establishes the Plan's investment policies.

   The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely.  However,
   the Company retains the right to discontinue the Plan.  If the
   Company discontinues the Plan, all participant account balances
   become fully vested at the termination date.

   Contributions - Participants may contribute as basic
   contributions one to six percent (in whole percentages) of their
   compensation through payroll deductions.  Participants
   contributing six percent of compensation may contribute an
   additional one to ten percent of compensation as supplemental
   contributions.  Participants may use before- or after-tax
   dollars for part or all of their contributions.  Contributions
   are subject to varying limitations to ensure compliance with
   Internal Revenue Code requirements.  Participants may change
   their contribution amounts at any time effective the first pay
   period of the following month by contacting the recordkeeper
   through its automated Benefits Information Line (BIL).

   The Company contributes to the Plan via a matching contribution
   and a Company retirement contribution. The Company matches basic
   contributions at a rate determined by the Company's Board of
   Directors.  The Plan requires that Company matching
   contributions be at least 25%, but no more than 100% of
   participants' basic contributions.  For 1999 and 1998, the
   Company matching contribution was set at 50% of basic
   contributions.  As a Company retirement contribution for certain
   eligible employees, the Company also contributes to the Plan one
   percent of the participant's monthly compensation.  An
   additional one percent is contributed to the Plan for employees
   who meet certain criteria, as outlined in the Plan.

   Effective October 1, 1995, for Company matching contributions,
   and effective March 1, 1996, for Company retirement
   contributions, the Plan was amended to provide for an offset to
   the Company contributions under the Plan with an equivalent
   benefit to the Plan participants under the Ingersoll-Rand/Clark
   Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan (LESOP), a participating
   plan in the Ingersoll-Rand Company Combined Investment Trust
   (the "Combined Trust").  Amounts accrued under the Plan prior to
   the effective dates of these amendments remain in the Plan
   unaffected.

   Participant contributions are always 100% vested.  Company
   matching and retirement contributions, including those provided
   to the LESOP, vest on a five-year, graded-vesting schedule.
   Employees are immediately 20% vested.  After completing two
   years of service, the vested percentage increases in increments
   of 20% per year until fully vested after five years of service.
   All Company matching and retirement contributions become 100%
   vested if a participant is disabled or his or her employment
   terminates due to retirement or death.

   Investment Options - The Plan assets are held in the Combined
   Trust, together with assets from other participating plans.

   Participants may invest their contributions, in multiples of one
   percent, in one or more of the following funds:

     Fixed Income Fund - A fund that invests in securities that
     produce a fixed rate of return.  Investments may include United
     States government securities, corporate bonds, notes, debentures,
     convertible securities, preferred stocks, investment funds or
     investment contracts.

     Mutual Fund - Prior to March 1, 1997, participants could select
     from the following mutual funds: Fidelity Fund, Fidelity Growth and
     Income Portfolio, Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Portfolio, and
     Fidelity Magellan Fund.  After March 1, 1997, participants were
     able to select from the following mutual funds: Fidelity Growth and
     Income Portfolio, Fidelity Magellan Fund, Templeton Foreign Fund,
     Fidelity Contra Fund, Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund, Fidelity U.S.
     Equity Index Commingled Pool Fund (formerly known as the Fidelity
     Institutional S&P 500 Index), Putnam Vista Fund and Putnam New
     Opportunities Fund.  Each fund consists of a portfolio of common
     stocks or other securities based on the fund's investment
     objective.  Prospectuses are available from the respective fund's
     management company.

     Ingersoll-Rand Company Stock Fund - A fund consisting primarily
     of the Company's Common Stock.  Prior to December 1, 1998, this
     fund limited a participant's investment to 50% of current
     contributions or account balance on transfers.  Effective December
     1, 1998, participants are permitted to invest up to 100% of current
     contributions or account balance on transfers into this fund.

   Each fund reinvests its income in that fund.

   On any business day, participants may change their allocation of
   future contributions and transfer prior contributions between
   funds.  Transfers of prior contributions must be made in whole
   percentages.

   Participants have several options that permit access to their
   contributions, earnings, and certain vested Company contributions.
   These options are subject to certain rules and restrictions.

   Distributions and Withdrawals - Plan distributions may be in the
   form of a lump sum or in such other manner that the Benefits
   Committee may permit.  In addition, effective December 1, 1998,
   Plan participants who separate from service may elect
   distributions of at least $500 on a daily basis.

   At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the number of participants with
   balances in the Plan approximated 18,200 and 18,500,
   respectively.  The number of participants contributing to each
   of the Plan's funds at December 31, 1999, were approximately:

   Fixed Income Fund                                      8,400
   Mutual Fund:
        Templeton Foreign Fund                            1,100
        Fidelity Contra Fund                              2,400
        Putnam Vista Fund                                 2,200
        Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Commingled Pool Fund   4,300
        Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund                    1,600
        Fidelity Growth and Income Portfolio              5,300
        Putnam New Opportunities Fund                     3,400
        Fidelity Magellan Fund                            4,400
   Ingersoll-Rand Company Stock Fund                      5,100

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Basis of Presentation - The Plan follows the accrual method of
   accounting.

   Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
   conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
   requires the Benefits Committee to make estimates and
   assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
   liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
   at the dates of the financial statements and the reported
   amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
   Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Valuation of Investments - Plan assets are part of the Combined
   Trust, which provides unified investment management.  Chase
   invests the Plan assets in the various Combined Trust investment
   funds.

   Separate participant accounts are maintained by investment fund.
   These accounts record contributions, withdrawals, transfers,
   earnings and changes in market value.

   The Putnam Guaranteed Horizon Account and the Putnam Managed
   Accounts are recorded at their respective contract values.
   Contract value equals principal plus cumulative interest earned,
   reduced by distributions.

   The Chase Domestic Liquidity Fund contains short-term debt, bank
   certificates of deposit and collateralized repurchase
   agreements.  The carrying value of these investments is a
   reasonable estimate of their current value due to the short-term
   nature of the instruments.  Rates of return on the money-market
   funds vary with the instruments purchased and changes in short-
   term interest rates.

   The financial statements report investments in the Mutual Funds
   and the Ingersoll-Rand Company Common Stock Fund at current
   value based on published market quotations.

   Security Transactions and Investment Income - Realized gains or
   losses on security transactions are recorded on the trade date.
   Realized gains or losses are the difference between the proceeds
   received and the participant's average unit cost.  Dividend
   income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income
   is recorded when earned.

   The statement of income and changes in plan equity includes
   unrealized appreciation or depreciation in accordance with the
   policy of stating investments at current value.  Appreciation or
   depreciation of investments reflects both realized gains and
   losses and the change in unrealized appreciation and
   depreciation of investments.

   Contributions - Participant and Company matching contributions
   are contributed to the Combined Trust or the LESOP trust, as
   applicable, on a monthly basis.  Participant contributions for
   each fund are based on the participants' investment decisions.
   Company retirement contributions are contributed to the Combined
   Trust or the LESOP after the end of each month or annually, as
   outlined in the Plan.  The Company matching and retirement
   contributions may be made to the Combined Trust or LESOP in cash
   or Company stock.

   Forfeitures - Forfeitures of nonvested Company contributions
   occur when participants are terminated.  Forfeitures of $244,158
   in 1999 and $195,011 in 1998 were or will be used to reduce
   future Company contributions.

   Expenses of the Plan - Most expenses associated with the
   administration of the Plan and the Combined Trust are paid for
   by the Company.  Expenses of the funds related to the investment
   and reinvestment of assets are included in the cost of the
   related investments.

   Benefit Obligations - Distributions to terminated employees are
   recorded in the Plan's financial statements when paid.  The
   approved and unpaid amounts were $2,197,703 and $3,295,148 at
   December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  These amounts will be
   reflected as liabilities on the Plan's Form 5500 in accordance
   with Department of Labor Regulations.

   Reclassifications - Certain prior year amounts have been
   reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  The
   Plan has adopted Statement of Position 99-3, "Accounting for and
   Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Benefit Plan
   Investments and Other Disclosure Matters", and, thus, previously
   reported by-fund amounts have been eliminated.

3. FIXED INCOME FUND

   Investments in the Fixed Income Fund at December 31 were as
   follows:

                                               1999           1998

   At December 31, 1999 and 1998, certain assets of the Combined
   Trust were invested in synthetic investment contracts.  The
   Putnam Guaranteed Horizon Account and the Putnam Managed
   Accounts consist principally of an investment agreement between
   the Company and Putnam and a wrapper contract with a financially
   responsible third party which provides liquidity, or benefit
   responsiveness.

   The Putnam Guaranteed Horizon Account matured on November 15,
   1999.  The Putnam Guaranteed Horizon Account under contract at
   December 31, 1998 was:

   net crediting rate reset below 0%.

   The Chase Domestic Liquidity Fund reported an annualized rate of
   return as of December 31 of 5.297% in 1999 and 5.42% in 1998.

   The Metropolitan Life Insurance (MetLife) Stable Income Fund
   invests in a group annuity contract which is carried at contract
   value, an approximation of current value.  Interest rates
   credited to the fund were 6.33% from January 1, 1998 through May
   31, 1998; 6.14% from June 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998;
   6.06% from January 1, 1999 through May 31, 1999; and 6.16% from
   June 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999.  This contract has no
   expiration date.  The MetLife group annuity contract consists
   principally of an investment agreement between the Company and
   MetLife in which MetLife maintains a separate account for the
   investment of participants' assets in an actively managed
   institutional bond fund.

   The PIMCO Stable Value Fund was purchased by the Plan on August
   3, 1998.  The fund is comprised of a separate account fixed
   income portfolio actively managed by PIMCO and a book value wrap
   contract issued by AIG Financial Products.  The book value wrap
   contract allows for the portfolio to be carried at contract
   value, which equals net deposits plus credited interest.  The
   contract has no expiration date.  Interest rates credited to the
   fund were 6.31% from August 3, 1998 through September 20, 1998;
   6.18% from October 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998; 6.22% from
   January 1, 1999 through March 31, 1999; 6.14% from April 1, 1999
   through May 20, 1999; 6.27% from May 21, 1999 through June 30,
   1999; 6.21% from July 1, 1999 through September 30, 1999; and
   6.18% from October 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999.

6. LOAN FUND

   The Plan allows participants to borrow from their vested account
   balance subject to certain limits.  Loans are withdrawn from the
   participants' accounts in a sequence outlined in the Plan.

   The number of loans outstanding at December 31, 1999 and 1998
   was 7,441 and 7,932, respectively.

   The Benefits Committee establishes the loan interest rate and
   reviews the rate quarterly.  The loan rate may be adjusted each
   quarter in order to reflect the current prime rate.  The
   interest rate on new loans during 1999 and 1998 was 9%.
   Interest charges begin 60 days after the initial loan date.

   Loans are repaid in equal installments through payroll
   deductions over a maximum of five years.  Loan repayments
   consist of interest and principal, and are reinvested according
   to the participant's current investment elections.  If a
   participant terminates employment with the Company, any
   outstanding loan balance is considered a distribution.

7. DIVIDEND AND INTEREST INCOME

   Dividend and interest income for all investments at December 31
   were as follows:

                                                  1999         1998

   Net Plan dividend and interest income
   from investments                        $49,067,169  $33,600,916

8. TAX STATUS

   The Plan is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a)
   of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and is
   intended to be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the
   Code.  The Plan received a favorable IRS determination letter
   dated October 27, 1999.  The Plan has been amended since
   receiving the determination letter.  However, the plan
   administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and
   being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
   the Code.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been
   included in the Plan's financial statements.

   Co. Savings Plan; Monarch Hardware, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan;

   each participant.

   During July 1999, certain assets of the CDS Midwest, Inc.
   Bargaining Unit Employee Retirement And Savings Plan (the "CDS
   Plan") were transferred into the Plan.  Existing participant

   a. Trust Description

      The Combined Investment Trust (the "Combined Trust")
      provides unified investment management of the assets of
      several plans sponsored by Ingersoll-Rand Company and
      certain of its subsidiaries (collectively the "Companies").
      The participating plans include the Ingersoll-Rand Company
      Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees, the Ingersoll-
      Dresser Pump Company Savings and Investment Plan, the
      Ingersoll-Rand Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan,
      the I-R/Clark Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan, the
      Ingersoll-Rand/Thermo King Savings and Stock Investment Plan
      and the Ingersoll-Rand/Thermo King Retirement Savings Plan
      of Puerto Rico (collectively, the "Plans").  The
      participants of the Plans are eligible employees of the
      Companies.  The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase") and
      PricewaterhouseCoopers are the trustee and recordkeeper of
      the Combined Trust, respectively.  The Combined Trust
      maintains separate participant accounts by investment fund.
      These accounts record contributions, withdrawals and
      transfers, and reflect investment earnings and changes in
      market value.

      Certain of the Plans, namely the I-R/Clark Leveraged
      Employee Stock Ownership Plan, the Ingersoll-Rand/Thermo
      King Savings and Stock Investment Plan and the Ingersoll-
      Rand/Thermo King Retirement Savings Plan of Puerto Rico
      participate in the Combined Trust only through investment in
      the Fixed Income Fund and/or the Ingersoll-Rand Company
      Stock Fund of the Combined Trust.

   b. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Basis of Presentation - The Combined Trust uses the modified
      cash basis of accounting which is substantially the same as
      the accrual basis of accounting.

      Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements
      in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
      requires the Benefits Committee to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
      liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
      reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
      reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those
      estimates.

      Valuation of Investments - The Putnam Guaranteed Horizon
      Account and the Putnam Managed Accounts are recorded at
      their respective contract values.  Contract value equals
      principal plus cumulative interest earned, reduced by
      distributions.

      The Chase Domestic Liquidity Fund contains short-term debt,
      bank certificates of deposit and collateralized repurchase
      agreements.  The carrying value of these investments is a
      reasonable estimate of their current value due to the short-
      term nature of the instruments.  Rates of return on the
      money-market funds vary with the instruments purchased and
      changes in short-term interest rates.

      The financial statements report investments in the Mutual
      Funds (defined in Note c) and the Ingersoll-Rand Company
      Common Stock Fund at current value based on published market
      quotations.

      Security Transactions and Investment Income - Realized gains
      or losses on security transactions are recorded on the trade
      date.  Realized gains or losses are the difference between
      the proceeds received and the participant's average unit
      cost.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date
      and interest income is recorded when earned.

      The statement of changes in net assets includes unrealized
      appreciation or depreciation in accordance with the policy
      of stating investments at current value.  Appreciation or
      depreciation of investments reflects both realized gains and
      losses and the change in unrealized appreciation and
      depreciation of investments.

      Contributions and Expenses - The Combined Trust records
      contributions when received from the participating Plans.
      It reports disbursements from the participating Plans for
      participant withdrawals, loans and Plan to Plan transfers
      when paid.

      Most expenses for the administration of the participating
      Plans and the Combined Trust are paid for by the Companies.
      Expenses of the funds related to the investment and
      reinvestment of assets are included in the cost of the
      related investments.

   c. Investments

      At December 31, 1999 and 1998, certain assets of the
      Combined Trust were invested in synthetic investment
      contracts.  The Putnam Guaranteed Horizon Account and the
      Putnam Managed Accounts consist principally of an investment
      agreement between the Company and Putnam and a wrapper
      contract with a financially responsible third party, which
      provides liquidity or benefit-responsiveness.

      The Putnam Guaranteed Horizon Account matures on November
      15, 1999. The Putnam Guaranteed Horizon Account under
      contract at December 31, 1998 was:

      The Chase Domestic Liquidity Fund reported an annualized

      The Metropolitan Life Insurance (MetLife) Stable Income Fund
      invests in a group annuity contract which is carried at
      contract value, an approximation of current value.  Interest
      rates credited to the fund were 6.33% from January 1, 1998
      through May 31, 1998; 6.14% from June 1, 1998 through
      December 31, 1998; 6.06% from January 1, 1999 through May
      31, 1999; and 6.16% from June 1, 1999 through December 31,
      1999.  This contract has no expiration date.  The MetLife
      group annuity contract consists principally of an investment
      agreement between the Company and MetLife in which MetLife
      maintains a separate account for the investment of
      participants' assets in an actively managed institutional
      bond fund.

      The PIMCO Stable Value Fund was purchased by the Combined
      Trust on August 3, 1998.  The fund is comprised of a
      separate account fixed income portfolio actively managed by
      PIMCO and a book value wrap contract issued by AIG Financial
      Products.  The book value wrap contract allows for the
      portfolio to be carried at contract value, which equals net
      deposits plus credited interest.  The contract has no
      expiration date.  Interest rates credited to the fund were
      6.31% from August 3, 1998 through September 30, 1998 and
      6.18% from October 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998; 6.22%
      from January 1, 1999 through March 31, 1999; 6.14% from
      April 1, 1999 through May 20, 1999; 6.27% from May 21, 1999
      through June 30, 1999; 6.21% from July 1, 1999 through
      September 30, 1999; and 6.18% from October 1, 1999 through
      December 31, 1999.

      The total cost of the Combined Trust Mutual Fund was
      $374,792,330 and $308,807,364 at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
      respectively.

   d. Tax Status

      The Ingersoll-Rand Company Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit
      Employees, the Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company Savings and
      Investment Plan, the Ingersoll-Rand Company Savings and
      Stock Investment Plan, the I-R/Clark Leveraged Employee
      Stock Ownership Plan, and the Ingersoll-Rand/Thermo King
      Savings and Stock Investment Plan are intended to be
      qualified under Code Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
      Code of 1986 (the "Code") and are intended to be exempt from
      taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code.  Each Plan has
      received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
      Revenue Service.  A favorable determination letter for the
      Ingersoll-Rand/Thermo King Retirement Savings Plan of Puerto
      Rico was received from the tax authorities in Puerto Rico
      that the plan is qualified under section 1165 of the Puerto
      Rico Internal Revenue code of 1994. The Plan administrator
      believes that the Plans are currently designed and being
      operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
      the U.S. and Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Codes.  Therefore,
      no provision for income taxes has been included in the
      Trust's financial statements.

   e. Participant Loans Receivable

      Participants in certain Plans may borrow from their vested
      account balances subject to terms defined by the individual
      Plans.

   f. Transfers to/from Other Plans

      Effective December 31, 1999, the assets of the Johnstone
      Pump Co. Savings Plan; Monarch Hardware, Inc. Profit Sharing
      Plan; Zimmerman Handling Systems, Ingersoll-Rand's Employees
      401(k) Plan; and Torrington Rockford Salary Savings Plan
      (collectively, the "Merged Plans") were merged into the
      Combined Trust. During March 2000, the existing participant
      balances in the Merged Plans were transferred to the
      investment options available in the Ingersoll-Rand Company
      Savings And Stock Investment Plan that were elected by each
      participant.

      Effective November 8, 1999, certain assets of the Harrow
      Products, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan & Trust (the "Harrow
      Plan") were merged into the Combined Trust.  During March
      2000, the existing participant balances in the Harrow Plan
      were transferred to the investment options available in the
      Ingersoll-Rand Company Savings And Stock Investment Plan
      that were elected by each participant.

      During July 1999, the assets of the Palm Sales/Towmaster
      401(k) Profit Sharing Plan And Trust were merged into the
      Combined Trust.  Existing participant balances in this plan
      were transferred to the investment options available in the
      Ingersoll-Rand Company Savings And Stock Investment Plan
      that were elected by each participant.

      During July 1999, certain assets of the CDS Midwest, Inc.
      Bargaining Unit Employee Retirement And Savings Plan were
      transferred into the Combined Trust.  Existing participant
      balances in this plan were transferred to the investment
      options available in the Ingersoll-Rand Company Savings And
      Stock Investment Plan that were elected by each participant.

      Effective December 31, 1999, the assets of the LCN Closers
      Employees' Profit Sharing Plan (the "LCN Plan") were merged
      into the Combined Trust.  During January 1999, the existing
      participant balances in the LCN Plan were transferred to the
      investment options available in the Ingersoll-Rand Company
      Savings And Stock Investment Plan that were elected by each
      participant during December 1998.

   g. Subsequent Events

      Effective December 31, 1999, Ingersoll-Rand Company
      completed the purchase of Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company,
      previously a joint venture with a third party, by acquiring
      the joint venture partner's 49% share. On February 9, 2000,
      Ingersoll-Rand Company entered into an agreement to sell the
      Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company unit. The transaction is
      subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close
      during the second quarter of 2000. Effective upon the
      closing of the transaction, the Company will no longer
      sponsor the Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company Savings and
      Investment Plan.

      Putnam Investments ("Putnam") will become trustee and
      recordkeeper of the Ingersoll-Rand Company Savings Plan for
      Bargaining Unit Employees on July 1, 2000, at which time the
      Plan's assets will be removed from the Combined Trust and
      transferred to Putnam.
