                             PART I
Item 1.   BUSINESS

Ingersoll-Rand Company (the company) was organized in 1905 under
the laws of the State of New Jersey as a consolidation of
Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Company and the Rand Drill Company,
whose businesses were established in the early 1870's.  Over the
years, the company has supplemented its original business, which
consisted primarily of the manufacture and sale of rock drilling
equipment, with additional products which have been developed
internally or obtained through acquisition.

On August 12, 1999, the company announced its intention to
dispose of its interest in Dresser-Rand Company (D-R), a joint
venture involved in the reciprocating compressor and turbo
machinery business, and Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company (IDP), a
joint venture involved in the pump equipment business.  On
October 5, 1999, the joint venture partner, as permitted under
the joint venture agreements, elected to sell its share of the
joint ventures to the company.  Effective December 31, 1999, the
company completed the purchase of the joint venture partner's 49%
share of IDP for a net purchase price of approximately $377
million payable by the issuance of a promissory note, which was
redeemed On January 14, 2000.  The  acquisition of the joint
venture partner's 51% share of D-R was completed on February 2,
2000 and is estimated at a net purchase price of approximately
$536 million. The net assets have been reported as assets held
for sale in the company's financial statements.  Historically,
IDP had been reported as part of the Engineered Products Segment,
while D-R had been reported as equity in earnings of partially-
owned affiliates.

On February 10, 2000, the company agreed to sell its IDP unit to
the Flowserve Corporation for $775 million in cash. The
transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to
close during the second quarter of 2000.  The company intends to
divest D-R in the near future.

On March 30, 1999, the company completed the acquisition of
Harrow Industries, Inc. (Harrow), a leading manufacturer of
access control technologies, architectural hardware, and
decorative bath fittings and accessories. The purchase price was
approximately $160 million, which included the assumption of
certain debt. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to
the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their
estimated fair values.

During the third quarter, the company received proceeds of $47.0
million, which approximated book value on the sale of a portion of
the Harrow assets. In December 1999, the company also sold certain
net assets of the Automation Division.  The transaction resulted
in a net gain of approximately $4.4 million.  The company also
made several minor dispositions during 1999.

Maire, Club Car, Dixie-Pacific, Dor-O-Matic, Ecoair, Fafnir,
Falcon, Glynn-Johnson, Johnstone, LCN, Legge, Monarch, Montabert,
Normbau, Schlage, Steelcraft, Thermo King, Torrington, Von Duprin
and Zimmerman.

During the past three years, the division of the company's sales
between capital goods and expendables has been in the approximate
ratio of 63 percent and 37 percent, respectively. The company
generally defines as expendables those products which are not
capitalized by the ultimate user.  Examples of such products are
parts sold for replacement purposes, power tools and needle
bearings.

Additional information on the company's business and financial
information about industry segments is presented in Note 18 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the company's
Annual Report to Shareholders for 1999, incorporated by reference
in this Form 10-K Annual Report.

Distribution

The company's products are distributed by a number of methods
which the company believes are appropriate to the type of
product.  Sales are made domestically through branch sales
offices and through distributorships and dealers across the
United States.  International sales are made through
approximately 75 subsidiary sales and service companies with a
supporting chain of distributors in over 100 countries.

Working Capital

The products manufactured by the company must usually be readily
available to meet rapid delivery requirements.  Such working
capital requirements are not, however, in the opinion of
management, materially different from those experienced by the
company's major competitors.

Customers

No material part of the company's business is dependent upon a
single customer or very few customers, the loss of any one of
which would have a material adverse effect on the company's
operations.

Competitive Conditions

The company's products are sold in highly competitive markets
throughout the world against products produced by both foreign
and domestic corporations.  The principal methods of competition
in these markets relate to price, quality and service.  The
company believes that it is one of the leading manufacturers in
the world of a broad line of air compression systems, anti-
friction bearings, construction equipment, transport temperature
control products, air tools, golf cars and utility vehicles.  In
addition, the company believes it is a leading supplier in
domestic markets for locks, other door hardware products, skid-
steer loaders and asphalt paving equipment.

International Operations

Sales to customers outside the United States accounted for
approximately 34 percent of the consolidated net sales in 1999.
Sales outside of the United States are made in more than 100
countries; therefore, the attendant risks of manufacturing or
selling in a particular country, such as nationalization and
establishment of common markets, would not have a significant
effect on the company's international operations.

Raw Materials

The company manufactures many of the components included in its
products.  The principal raw materials required for the
manufacture of the company's products are purchased from numerous
suppliers, and the company believes that available sources of
supply will generally be sufficient for its needs for the
foreseeable future.

Backlog

The company's approximate backlog of orders at December 31, 1999,
believed by it to be firm, was $210 million for the Specialty
Vehicles Segment, $310 million for the Air & Temperature Control
Segment, $132 million for the Hardware & Tools Segment and $296
million for the Engineered Products Segment as compared to $248
million, $304 million, $189 million and $345 million,
respectively, at December 31, 1998.  These backlog figures are
based on orders received.  While the major portion of the
company's products are built in advance of order and either
shipped or assembled from stock, orders for specialized machinery
or specific customer application are submitted with extensive
lead time and are often subject to revision, deferral,
cancellation or termination.  The company estimates that
approximately 90 percent of the backlog will be shipped during
the next twelve months.

Research and Development

The company maintains extensive research and development
facilities for experimenting, testing and developing high quality
products.  The company employs approximately 1,763 professional
employees for its research and development activities.  The
company spent $186.2 million in 1999, $169.6 million in 1998 and
$138.2 million in 1997 on research and development.

Patents and Licenses

The company owns numerous patents and patent applications and is
licensed under others.  While it considers that in the aggregate
its patents and licenses are valuable, it does not believe that
its business is materially dependent on its patents or licenses
or any group of them.  In the company's opinion, engineering and
production skills, and experience are more responsible for its
market position than patents or licenses.

Environmental Matters

The company has been and continues to be dedicated to an
environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of
hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to
remediate identified environmental concerns.  As to the latter,
the company currently is engaged in site investigations and
remedial activities to address environmental cleanup from past
operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.

During 1999, the company spent approximately $8 million on
capital projects for pollution abatement and control and an
additional $6 million for environmental remediation expenditures
at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the company.
It should be noted that these amounts are difficult to estimate
because environmental improvement costs are generally a part of
the overall improvement costs at a particular plant, and the
accurate estimate of which portion of an improvement or a capital
expenditure relates to an environmental improvement is difficult
to ascertain.  The company believes that these expenditure levels
will continue and may increase over time.  Given the evolving
nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the
ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.

The company is a party to environmental lawsuits and claims, and
has received notices of potential violations of environmental
laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and
similar state authorities.  It is identified as a potentially
responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-
site waste disposal at approximately 30 federal Superfund and
state remediations sites, excluding sites as to which the
company's records disclose no involvement or as to which the
company's liability has been fully determined.  For all sites
there are other PRPs and in most instances, the company's site
involvement is minimal.  In estimating its liability, the company
has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of
any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and
severally liable.  The ability of other PRPs to participate has
been taken into account, based generally on the parties'
financial condition and probable contribution on a per site
basis.  Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental
matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.

Although uncertainties regarding environmental technology, state
and federal laws and regulations and individual site information
make estimating the liability difficult, management believes that
the total liability for the cost of remediation and environmental
lawsuits and claims will not have a material effect on the
financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash
flows of the company for any year.  It should be noted that when
the company estimates its liability for environmental matters,
such estimates are based on current technologies and the company
does not discount its liability or assume any insurance
recoveries.

Employees

There are approximately 46,000 employees of the company
throughout the world, of whom approximately 29,000 work in the
United States and 17,000 in foreign countries. The company
believes relations with its employees are good.

Item 2.   PROPERTIES

New Jersey.  Manufacturing and assembly operations are conducted
in 53 plants in the United States; 4 plants in Canada; 29 plants

Item 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Background: In August 1999, the company notified Dresser
Industries (a wholly owned subsidiary of Halliburton Company) of
its desire to terminate their two joint ventures. The ventures
are Dresser-Rand Company (D-R), a producer of reciprocating
compressors and turbomachinery products, and Ingersoll-Dresser
Pump Company (IDP) a manufacturer of pumps used in industrial,
commercial and municipal applications. In accordance with the
terms of the joint venture agreements, the company gave notice
that it wanted to sell its 49% interest in D-R and its 51%
interest in IDP to Dresser Industries. Under the governing
agreements, Dresser Industries had the option to either buy one
or both of the joint ventures from or sell one or both of the
joint ventures to Ingersoll-Rand. However, the company also
announced that if Dresser Industries elected to sell its shares
in these joint ventures back to Ingersoll-Rand, the company would
divest of these units as soon as practical.

On October 5, 1999, the company was notified by Dresser
Industries that it had elected to sell its interests in the joint
ventures to the company. In accordance with the company's
decision to sell these units, as soon as practical, after they
were purchased from Dresser Industries, their results (and
related activity) have been reclassified as "Discontinued
operations (net of tax)" in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Income for the three years ended December 31, 1999.
In addition, the net assets of these units have been reclassified
as "Assets held for sale" on the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheet.  Unless otherwise noted, amounts, percentages and
ratios discussed in this financial review and management analysis
do not include discontinued operations.

On February 9, 2000 the company agreed to sell IDP to Flowserve
Corporation for $775.0 million in cash.

1999 Compared to 1998

The company reported another year of record earnings in 1999.
These achievements were the result of a strong domestic economy,
moderate economic growth in selected international markets, and
continued success of the company's asset-management, strategic-
sourcing and productivity-improvement programs.

Sales for 1999 totalled $7.7 billion, which generated $1,099.3
million of operating income and $544.9 million of net earnings
from continuing operations ($3.29 diluted earnings per share).
Net earnings from discontinued operations totalled $46.2 million
($0.28 diluted earnings per share).

For 1998, sales were $7.4 billion, which generated $969.1
million of operating income and produced net earnings from
continuing operations for the year of $455.5 million ($2.75
diluted earnings per share). In 1998, net earnings from
discontinued operations totalled $53.6 million ($0.33 diluted
earnings per share).

A comparison of key financial data between 1999 and 1998 follows:

o Net sales in 1999 amounted to $7.7 billion, reflecting 3.8%
  improvement over the 1998 total of $7.4 billion.

o Cost of goods sold in 1999 was 71.9% of sales, compared to
  73.0% in 1998. The ratio of cost of goods sold to sales
  reflected a marked improvement in 1999 compared to 1998 based
  on the continued success of the company's asset-management,
  strategic-sourcing and productivity-improvement programs.

o Administrative, selling and service engineering expenses were
  13.7% of sales in 1999, compared to 13.9% for 1998. This
  decrease is attributable to the company's cost-containment
  programs.

o Operating income for the year totalled $1,099.3 million, a
  13.4% increase over 1998 operating income of $969.1 million.
  The ratio of operating income to sales in 1999 was 14.3%,
  compared to 13.1% for the prior year. This improvement was
  the combined effect of the company's aggressive productivity-
  improvement and procurement programs, and the continued
  stability of domestic markets.

o Interest expense for the year totalled $203.1 million versus
  $224.1 million for 1998.  The reduction in interest expense
  totalled $21.0 million principally due to lower average
  outstanding debt balances during 1999 when compared to the
  prior year.

o Other income (expense), net, is the sum of foreign exchange
  activities, equity in earnings of partially owned affiliates, and
  other miscellaneous income and expense items.  In 1999, these
  activities resulted in a net expense of $22.3 million, an
  unfavorable change of $7.0 million compared to the 1998 net other
  expense of $15.3 million.  This change was caused by lower earnings
  from partially owned affiliate companies, lower miscellaneous
  income and higher miscellaneous expenses, which were offset by a
  favorable change in foreign currency activity in 1999 when compared
  to the prior year.

o The company's charges for minority interests are composed of
  two items: (1) charges associated with the company's equity-
  linked securities (issued during the first quarter of 1998),
  which totalled $25.6 million in 1999 and $19.7 million in 1998;
  and (2) interests of minority owners (less than 50 %) in a
  consolidated unit of the company, which totalled $3.5 million
  in 1999 and $3.8 million in 1998.

o The company's effective tax rate for both 1999 and 1998 was
  35.5%. The variance from the 35.0% statutory rate primarily was
  due to lower tax rates associated with foreign earnings, the
  foreign sales corporation, favorable tax benefits associated
  with income earned in Puerto Rico, offset by the effect of state
  and local taxes and the nondeductibility of a portion of
  goodwill.

o Discontinued operations (net of tax) for 1999 amounted to $46.2
  million, which was $7.4 million lower than the $53.6 million for
  the year ended December 31, 1998. This category represents the
  company's 49% interest in the earnings of D-R and the company's
  51% interest in IDP, net of appropriate taxes. As previously
  announced, the company intends to divest these businesses;
  therefore, their net operating results have been classified as
  "discontinued operations." The partnership earnings in 1999 were
  both approximately 20% below their 1998 levels. Additional
  information on discontinued operations is contained throughout
  this report and in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
  Statements.

At December 31, 1999, employment totalled 46,062.  This
represents a slight decrease from last year's level of 46,525.

Outlook
The company's outlook for 2000 is for continued strong
improvement in operating results based on a scenario of
moderate worldwide growth.  Most of the company's end markets
including car production, housing, commercial construction and
road paving, have a positive outlook.  These expectations will
be supported by aggressive asset-management, strategic-sourcing
and productivity-improvement programs.

Review of Business Segments

Specialty Vehicles
Specialty Vehicles Segment sales were $2.3 billion, an increase
of 7.7% over the $2.2 billion reported for 1998.  Operating
income for 1999 totalled $405.3 million, representing an increase
of 21.6% over last year's total of $333.3 million.  All major
product lines reported improvements in sales, operating income
and operating margins for the year.

Air and Temperature Control
The Air and Temperature Control Segment reported sales of
$2.2 billion, which almost equalled last year's level.
However, operating income for 1999 totalled $286.7 million,
reflecting a 9.2% improvement over the $262.5 million
reported for 1998. Thermo King's sales in 1999 reflected a
modest increase over 1998's level, but operating income
increased by approximately 5%.  The air compressor business
reported a modest decrease in sales for the year; however,
operating income increased by more than 15%.

Hardware and Tools
The Hardware and Tools Segment sales increased by 8.7% to $1.9
billion.  Operating income for the year was $320.3 million, an
increase of $32.0 million from $288.3 million reported for 1998.
Architectural hardware products reported increases of 15.5% in
sales and 13.3% in operating income.  Industrial production
equipment reported lower sales in 1999, but a 4% increase in
operating income.

Engineered Products
The Engineered Products Segment only includes the results of the
company's bearings and components products. The results for IDP,
which were formerly included in this segment, have been
reclassified to discontinued operations. Sales for bearings and
components in 1999 reflect a 1% decrease from the prior year, but
operating income increased by 5%, when compared to 1998, due to
continued cost improvement programs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 1999, the company continued to make progress in improving
its liquidity and capital resources through its aggressive asset
management programs and the ability to generate $836.5 million of
cash flow from its operations. These actions contributed to the
company's reduction in its debt-to-total capital ratio from 44%
at the end of last year to 42% at December 31, 1999. In addition,
adjusting the December 31, 1999, short-term liability for the
purchase of the remaining interest in IDP lowers the debt-to-
total capital ratio 38%.

The following table contains several key measures used by
management to gauge the company's financial performance:

                                  1999       1998      1997
Working capital (in millions)   $1,129       $737      $342
Current ratio                      1.6        1.5       1.2
Debt-to-total capital ratio         42%        44%       59%
Average working capital
  to net sales                    11.8%      10.7%     16.6%
Average days outstanding
  in receivables                  46.2       48.8      53.5
Average months' supply
  of inventory                     2.4        2.4       2.5
Note:  Working capital includes assets held for sale.

The company maintains significant operations in foreign
countries; therefore, the movement of the U.S. dollar against
foreign currencies has an impact on the company's financial
position.  Generally, the functional currency of the company's
foreign subsidiaries is their local currency.  The company
manages exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates
through its normal operating and financing activities, as well as
through the use of forward exchange contracts and options.  The
company attempts, through its hedging activities, to mitigate the
impact on income of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Additionally, the company maintains operations in countries where
the company transacts business in U.S. dollars.  The functional
currency of these operations is the U.S. dollar.  (Additional
information on the company's use of financial instruments can be
found in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

The following points highlight the financial results and
financial condition of the company's operations with the impact
of foreign currency translation where appropriate:

o Cash and cash equivalents totalled $222.9 million at December
  31, 1999, a $179.4 million increase from the prior year-end
  balance of $43.5 million. Cash flows from operating activities
  provided $836.5 million, investing activities used $237.0
  million and financing activities used $445.1 million.  Exchange
  rate changes during 1999 decreased cash and cash equivalents by
  $7.8 million.

o Receivables totalled $988.5 million at December 31, 1999,
  compared to $963.7 million at the prior year end, a net
  increase of $24.8 million. The increase is attributable to
  higher sales activity during the later part of the fourth
  quarter and acquisitions, which were offset by reductions
  caused by exchange rate changes during 1999.  The company
  focuses on decreasing its receivables base through its asset-
  management program, which produced a reduction in the average
  days outstanding in receivables to 46.2 days from the 1998
  level of 48.8 days.

o Inventories amounted to $742.1 million at December 31, 1999, a
  decrease of $82.7 million from last year's level of $824.8
  million. The net reduction to inventories during 1999 is the
  net result of the reduction caused by exchange rate changes
  during the year of $31.5 million, the company's effort to
  reduce inventories, and the net effect of reductions caused by
  dispositions exceeding increases from acquisitions.

o Prepaid expenses totalled $60.7 million at the end of the year,
  $5.0 million higher than the balance at December 31, 1998. The
  increase is associated with a general increase in prepaid
  expense accounts from acquired companies during the year.

o Assets held for sale totalled $799.7 million.  This reflects an
  increase of $399.6 million over the December 31, 1998, balance
  of $400.1 million. The account balance at the end of 1998
  primarily represents the company's investments in their
  ventures in IDP and D-R, which are now identified as
  discontinued operations. (See Note 2 to the Consolidated
  Financial Statements.) During the current year, this account
  was increased by the operating results of the joint ventures
  and the December 31, 1999, purchase of the remaining 49%
  interest in IDP for $377.0 million as well as the net change in
  the assets and liabilities of IDP. On February 2, 2000, the
  company purchased the remaining 51% interest in D-R that it did
  not previously own for an additional payment of $536.0 million.

o Deferred income taxes (current) of $53.9 million at December
  31, 1999, represented the deferred tax benefit of the
  difference between the book and tax values of various current
  assets and liabilities. The components of the balance are
  included in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

o Investments in and advances with partially owned equity
  affiliates at December 31, 1999, totalled $198.2 million, an
  increase of $14.6 million over the 1998 balance of $183.6
  million. This category includes the company's investments in
  partially owned equity affiliates (i.e. 50% or less ownership).
  Income and dividends from the investments in partially owned
  equity affiliates were $9.5 million and $6.4 million,
  respectively, in 1999. Amounts due to these units increased
  $1.5 million from December 31, 1998.  Currency movements were
  the primary cause of the remaining change in the account
  balance.

o Net property, plant and equipment increased by $3.5 million in
  1999 to a year-end balance of $1,240.2 million.  Capital
  expenditures in 1999 totalled $190.5 million, and acquisitions
  (net of dispositions) added $2.7 million.  Foreign exchange
  fluctuations decreased net fixed assets by approximately $21.2
  million.  The remaining net decrease was the result of
  depreciation and sales and retirements.

o Intangible assets, net, totalled $3,726.3 million at December
  31, 1999, as compared to $3,765.8 million at December 31, 1998,
  for a net decrease of $39.5 million.  The amortization expense
  for the current year was $112.8 million.  Acquisition activity
  and the effects of foreign currency translation accounted for
  the balance of the change.

o Deferred income taxes (noncurrent) totalled $158.0 million at
  December 31, 1999, an amount that was $48.0 million lower than
  the 1998 balance.  The components comprising the balance at
  December 31, 1999, can be found in Note 15 to the Consolidated
  Financial Statements.

o Other assets totalled $209.2 million at year end, an increase
  of $33.5 million from the 1998 balance, primarily due to an
  increase in prepaid pensions of $32.0 million.

o Accounts payable and accruals totalled $1,224.4 million at
  December 31, 1999, a decrease of $60.0 million from last year's
  balance of $1,284.4 million.  Reduced inventory levels at year
  end and acquisitions, net of dispositions, along with the
  timing of payrolls and benefits accounted for the reduction in
  1999.

o Loans payable including current maturities of long-term debt,
  were $495.5 million at the end of 1999, which reflects a $177.5
  million increase from the $318.0 million level at December 31,
  1998.  Approximately $252.2 million of current maturities of
  long-term debt were repaid in 1999.  The balance at the end of
  1999 included a $377.0 million note payable issued in
  connection with the company's purchase of the remaining
  interest in the IDP joint venture.  Excluding this item, loans
  payable would have reflected a reduction from the 1998 year-end
  balance of approximately $200.0 million. The effect of
  translation activity during 1999 had a minimal effect on the
  account balance during the year.

o Long-term debt, excluding current maturities, totalled $2,113.3
  million, a reduction of approximately $52.7 million from the
  prior year's balance of $2,166.0 million.  Reductions in long-
  term debt of $73.1 million represent the reclassification of
  the current maturities of long-term debt to loans payable. Long-
  term financings for plant and office expansions accounted for
  the modest increase in debt activity for the year. Foreign
  exchange activity had a minimal effect on the account balance
  during the year.

o Postemployment and other benefit liabilities at December 31,
  1999, totalled $805.0 million, a decrease of $15.5 million from
  the December 31, 1998, balance.  Postemployment liabilities
  include medical and life insurance postretirement benefits,
  long-term pension and other noncurrent benefit accruals. (See
  Notes 16 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
  additional information.)

o Minority interest liabilities at December 31, 1999, totalled
  $95.7 million, which represents a net increase of $62.1 million
  over the balance at the end of the prior year.  This liability
  represents the ownership interests of other entities in certain
  consolidated subsidiaries of the company. The increase for 1999
  primarily represents an equity interest purchase by a vendor in
  an entity controlled by the company.

o Other liabilities (noncurrent) at December 31, 1999, totalled
  $161.8 million, an increase of $9.3 million over the balance at
  December 31, 1998. The increase is associated with acquisitions
  during 1999. These obligations are not expected to be paid in
  the next year. Generally, these accruals cover environmental,
  insurance, legal and other long-term contractual obligations.

Other information concerning the company's financial resources,
commitments and plans is as follows:

The average short-term borrowings outstanding, excluding current
maturities of long-term debt, was $104.8 million in 1999,
compared to $314.8 million in 1998.  The weighted average
interest rate during 1999 was 6.6%, compared to 6.3% during the
previous year.  The maximum amounts outstanding during 1999 and
1998 were $422.4 million and $794.1 million, respectively.

The company had $1.3 billion in domestic short-term credit lines
and $750.0 million in long-term credit lines at December 31, 1999
all of which were unused.  Additionally, $599.8 million of
foreign credit lines were available for working capital purposes,
$527.3 million of which was used at the end of the year.  These
facilities exceed projected requirements for 2000 and provide
direct support for commercial paper and indirect support for
other financial instruments, such as letters of credit and
comfort letters.

In 1999, foreign currency translation adjustments decreased
shareholders' equity by $46.5 million.  This change was due to
the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies in
countries where the company has significant operations.  Currency
changes in the euro, euro-linked currencies and the British pound
accounted for nearly all of the change.

The company utilizes two wholly owned special purpose subsidiaries
to purchase accounts and notes receivable at a discount from the
company on a continuous basis.  These special purpose subsidiaries
simultaneously sell an undivided interest in these accounts and
notes receivable to a financial institution up to a maximum of
$170.0 million. The agreements between the special purpose
corporations and the financial institution are renewable annually.
The company intends to renew these agreements at their expiration
dates with either the current or another financial institution.  The
company is retained as the servicer of the pooled receivables. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998, $170.0 million of such receivables
remained uncollected.

Capital expenditures were $190.5 million and $200.9 million in
1999 and 1998, respectively.  The company continues investing to
improve manufacturing productivity, reduce costs, and provide
environmental enhancements and advanced technologies for existing
facilities.  The capital expenditure program for 2000 is
estimated at approximately $210.0 million, including amounts
approved in prior periods.  There are no planned projects, either
individually or in the aggregate, that represent a material
commitment for the company.  Many of these projects are subject
to review and cancellation at the option of the company without
incurring substantial charges.

Financial Market Risk
The company generates foreign currency exposures in the normal
course of business.  To mitigate the risk from foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations, the company will generally enter into
forward currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a
currency in accordance with the company's policies and
procedures. The company applies sensitivity analysis and value at
risk (VAR) techniques when measuring the company's exposure to
currency fluctuations.  VAR is a measurement of the estimated
loss in fair value until currency positions can be neutralized,
recessed or liquidated and assumes a 95% confidence level with
normal market conditions.  The potential one-day loss, as of
December 31, 1999, was $1.1 million and it is considered
insignificant in relation to the company's results of operations
and shareholders' equity.

With regard to interest rate risk, the effect of a hypothetical
1% increase in interest rates, across all maturities, would
decrease the estimated fair value of the company's long-term debt
at December 31, 1999, from $2,083.9 million to an estimated fair
value of $2,004.1 million.

Environmental Matters
The company continues to be dedicated to an environmental program
to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials
during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified
environmental concerns.  As to the latter, the company currently
is engaged in site investigations and remedial activities to
address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and
former manufacturing facilities.

During 1999, the company spent approximately $8.0 million on
capital projects for pollution abatement and control, and an
additional $6.0 million for environmental remediation
expenditures at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by
the company. It should be noted that these amounts are difficult
to estimate because environmental improvement costs are generally
a part of the overall improvement costs at a particular plant.
Therefore, the accurate estimate of which portion of an
improvement or a capital expenditure relates to an environmental
improvement is difficult to ascertain.  The company believes that
these expenditure levels will continue and may increase over
time.  Given the evolving nature of environmental laws,
regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future
compliance is uncertain.

The company is a party to environmental lawsuits and claims, and
has received notices of potential violations of environmental
laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and
similar state authorities. It is identified as a potentially
responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-
site waste disposal at approximately 30 federal Superfund and
state remediation sites, excluding sites as to which the
company's records disclose no involvement or as to which the
company's liability has been fully determined.  For all sites
there are other PRPs and in most instances, the company's site
involvement is minimal. In estimating its liability, the company
has not assumed it will bear the entire cost of remediation of
any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and
severally liable.  The ability of other PRPs to participate has
been taken into account, based generally on the parties'
financial condition and probable contributions on a per site
basis.  Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental
matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.

Although uncertainties regarding environmental technology, state
and federal laws and regulations and individual site information
make estimating the liability difficult, management believes that
the total liability for the cost of remediation and environmental
lawsuits and claims will not have a material effect on the
financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash
flows of the company for any year.  It should be noted that when
the company estimates its liability for environmental matters,
such estimates are based on current technologies, and the company
does not discount its liability or assume any insurance
recoveries.

Forward-looking Statements
This annual report contains not only historical information, but
also forward-looking statements regarding expectations for future
company performance.  Forward-looking statements involve risk and
uncertainty.  See the company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K
for a discussion of factors which could cause future results to
differ from current expectations.

1998 Compared to 1997

Sales for 1998 totalled $7.4 billion, which generated $969.1
million of operating income and $455.5 million of net earnings
from continuing operations ($2.75 diluted earnings per share).
Net income from discontinued operations totalled $53.6 million
in 1998 ($0.33 diluted earnings per share).  The company's
results for 1998 included a full year's benefit from the October
31, 1997, acquisition of Thermo King Corporation (Thermo King).
Thermo King reported 1998 sales of $1.2 billion with an
operating income contribution of $159.3 million and net earnings
of $24.0 million or 15 cents diluted earnings per share after
the allocation of acquisition interest expense and the related
tax benefit.

The company's results for 1997 were sales of $6.2 billion, which
generated $723.5 million of operating income and produced net
earnings from continuing operations of $358.6 million for the
year ($2.18 diluted earnings per share). In 1997, net income from
discontinued operations was $21.9 million (or $0.13 diluted
earnings per share).  Thermo King generated $176.9 million of
sales and produced an operating loss of $0.2 million, after
goodwill amortization and the effect of estimated purchase
accounting adjustments for the last two months of 1997.  Thermo
King's net loss for this two-month period was $11.3 million
(seven cents diluted earnings per share) after the allocation of
acquisition interest expense of $27.3 million.

Excluding Thermo King's results from both years, 1998 sales
increased modestly, with an 11.9% increase in operating income
resulting in a significant increase of 17% in net earnings from
continuing operations for 1998 over the adjusted 1997 results.

A comparison of key financial data between 1998 and 1997 follows:

o Net sales in 1998 were $7.4 billion, reflecting an 18.4%
  improvement over the 1997 total of $6.2 billion.  Excluding
  Thermo King's results from both years, adjusted sales for 1998
  increased by 2% over the 1997 adjusted total.

o Cost of goods sold in 1998 was 73.0% of sales, compared to
  73.9% in 1997.  Excluding Thermo King's results from both
  years, the adjusted ratio of cost of goods sold to sales
  reflected a marked improvement in 1998, compared to 1997.

o Administrative, selling and service engineering expenses were
  13.9% of sales in 1998, compared to 14.5% for 1997. This
  decrease is primarily attributable to the inclusion of Thermo
  King, which traditionally had a lower ratio of selling and
  administrative expenses to sales than the company's historical
  lines of business.

o Operating income for the year totalled $969.1 million, a
  33.9% increase over 1997 operating income of $723.5 million.
  The ratio of operating income to sales in 1998 was 13.1%,
  compared to 11.6% for the prior year. After excluding Thermo
  King's results from both years, adjusted 1998 operating
  income still reflects a double-digit improvement over the
  adjusted 1997 results.  This improvement was the combined
  effect of the company's aggressive productivity-improvement
  and procurement programs, and the continued stability of
  domestic markets.

o Interest expense for the year totalled $224.1 million versus
  $135.2 million for 1997.  Interest expense associated with the
  debt incurred for the Thermo King acquisition totalled
  approximately $129.3 million in 1998 (excluding costs related
  to the company's equity-linked securities) and $27.3 million
  for the last two months of 1997.

o Other income (expense), net, is the sum of foreign exchange
  activities, equity in earnings of partially owned affiliates,
  and other miscellaneous income and expense items.  In 1998,
  these activities resulted in a net expense of $15.3 million, an
  unfavorable change of $9.0 million compared to the 1997 net
  other expense of $6.3 million.  This change was caused by lower
  earnings from partially owned affiliates and higher foreign
  exchange losses of $8.2 million in 1998, offset by lower net
  miscellaneous income and expense items.

o The company's charges for minority interests are composed of
  two items: (1) $19.7 million of charges associated with the
  company's equity-linked securities issued during the first
  quarter of 1998; and (2) interests of minority owners (less
  than 50%) in a consolidated unit of the company which totalled
  $3.8 million in 1998 and $3.6 million in 1997.

o The company's effective tax rate for 1998 was 35.5%, which
  improved from the 38.0% reported for the prior year due to a
  full-year favorable tax benefit associated with the Thermo King
  acquisition.  The variance from the 35.0% statutory rate
  primarily was due to tax rates associated with foreign earnings,
  the foreign sales corporation, favorable tax benefits associated
  with the income earned in Puerto Rico, the effect of state and
  local taxes and the nondeductibility of a portion of goodwill.

o Discontinued operations (net of tax) for 1998 amounted to
  $53.6 million, which was more than double 1997's results of
  $21.9 million. This category represents the company's 49%
  interest in the earnings of D-R and the company's 51% interest
  in IDP reduced by appropriate taxes. As previously announced,
  the company intends to divest these units; therefore, their net
  operating results have been classified as "discontinued
  operations."  The net earnings from these partnerships in 1998
  were both substantially above their 1997 levels. These
  increases were the result of a stronger economic climate for
  their products, coupled with the fact that both operations
  recorded a total of $60.0 million of restructuring charges
  during 1997 to reduce their headcount and to close
  underperforming operations.  (See Note 2 to the Consolidated
  Financial Statements for additional information.)

 At December 31, 1998, employment totalled 46,525.  This
 represents a slight decrease from the prior year's level of
 46,567.

 During 1998, the company made significant progress in improving
 its liquidity and capital resources by (1) completing the
 financing of the Thermo King acquisition with the issuance of
 $402.5 million of equity-linked securities during the first
 quarter of the year, and (2) reducing the company's debt by an
 additional $570.9 million, which was generated from the
 company's strong cash flow during the year. The proceeds from
 the equity-linked securities were used to reduce the company's
 short-term borrowings, which were originally issued to satisfy
 a portion of the cash requirements for the acquisition of
 Thermo King on October 31, 1997. These actions primarily
 contributed to the company's reduction in its debt-to-total
 capital ratio from 59% at the end of 1997 to 44% at December
 31, 1998.

  The following points highlight the financial results and
 financial condition of the company's operations with the impact
 of foreign currency translation where appropriate:

o Cash and cash equivalents totalled $43.5 million at December
  31, 1998, a $23.0 million reduction from the prior year-end
  balance of $66.5 million.  Cash flows from operating activities
  provided $859.6 million, investing activities used $161.9
  million and financing activities used $741.8 million.  Exchange
  rate changes during 1998 increased cash and cash equivalents by
  $1.0 million.

o Marketable securities totalled $2.0 million at the end of 1998,
  $1.8 million below the balance at December 31, 1997.  The net
  reduction was due to maturity and exchange rate changes.

o Receivables totalled $963.7 million at December 31, 1998,
  compared to $1,080.7 million at the end of 1997, a net decrease
  of $117.0 million. The decrease is attributable to improved
  cash collections and reductions from dispositions.  The company
  focuses on decreasing its receivables base through its asset-
  management program, which produced a reduction in the average
  days outstanding in receivables to 48.8 days from the 1997
  level of 53.5 days.

o Inventories amounted to $824.8 million at December 31, 1998, an
  increase of $84.3 million from 1997's level of $740.5 million.
  Inventory increases at year end in anticipation of early 1999
  shipments were the primary reason for the increase.  The
  company's emphasis on inventory control was demonstrated by the
  reduction of the average months' supply of inventory to 2.4
  months at December 31, 1998, compared to 2.5 months at the
  prior year end.

o Prepaid expenses totalled $55.7 million at the end of 1998,
  $23.7 million lower than the balance at December 31, 1997.
  Changes in prepaid pension assets and a general reduction in
  other prepaid assets were the reasons for the reduction in the
  account balance.

o Assets held for sale totalled $400.1 million at December 31,
  1998, and reflects an increase of $11.0 million over the
  December 31, 1997, balance of $389.1 million. The account
  balance at the end of both years primarily represents the
  company's investments in IDP and D-R, which are now identified
  as discontinued operations. (See Note 2 to the Consolidated
  Financial Statements.) During 1998, this account was increased
  by the operating results of the joint ventures and was reduced
  by changes in the net assets. In addition, the account balance
  was also reduced by approximately $22.5 million, for other
  asset dispositions not involving either IDP or D-R.

o Deferred income taxes (current) of $68.8 million at December
  31, 1998, represented the deferred tax benefit of the
  difference between the book and tax values of various current
  assets and liabilities. The components of the balance are
  included in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

o Investments in and advances with partially owned equity
  affiliates at December 31, 1998, totalled $183.6 million, $16.1
  million below the 1997 balance of $199.7 million.  Income and
  dividends from partially owned equity affiliates were $13.6
  million and $6.7 million, respectively. Amounts due from these
  units decreased $12.6 million from December 31, 1997.  Currency
  movements and acquisitions were the primary cause of the
  remaining change in the account balance.

o Net property, plant and equipment increased by $63.0 million in
  1998 to a year-end balance of $1,236.7 million.  Capital
  expenditures in 1998 totalled $200.9 million, and acquisitions
  (net of dispositions) added $13.0 million.  Foreign exchange
  fluctuations increased net fixed assets by approximately $3.6
  million.  The remaining net decrease was the result of
  depreciation and sales and retirements.

o Intangible assets, net, totalled $3,765.8 million at December
  31, 1998, as compared to $3,822.4 million at December 31, 1997,
  for a net decrease of $56.6 million.  The amortization expense
  for 1998 was $110.1 million.  Acquisition activity and the
  effects of foreign currency translation accounted for the
  balance of the change.

o Deferred income taxes (noncurrent) totalled $206.0 million at
  December 31, 1998.  This total was $26.3 million higher than
  the 1997 balance.  The components comprising the balance at
  December 31, 1998, can be found in Note 15 to the Consolidated
  Financial Statements.

o Other assets totalled $175.7 million at the end of 1998, a
  decrease of $31.6 million from the December 31, 1997, balance
  of $207.3 million.  Other assets decreased by approximately
  $25.0 million due to a decrease in prepaid pensions and a
  general reduction in other noncurrent assets.  Foreign exchange
  activity in 1998 had a minimal effect on the account balance
  during the year.

o Accounts payable and accruals totalled $1,284.4 million at
  December 31, 1998, an increase of $109.1 million from last
  year's balance of $1,175.3 million.  Increased inventory levels
  at year end and acquisitions, net of dispositions, along with
  the timing of payrolls and benefits account for the increase in
  1998.

o Loans payable, including current maturities on long-term debt,
  were $318.0 million at the end of 1998, which reflects a $605.8
  million reduction from the $923.8 million level at December 31,
  1997.  Proceeds of $389.6 million from the issuance of the
  company's equity-linked securities were used to reduce short-
  term debt during the year.  Current maturities of long-term
  debt increased the account balance by an additional $251.8
  million.  In addition, the company also repaid approximately
  $261.2 million of current maturities of long-term debt.

o Long-term debt, excluding current maturities, totalled $2,166.0
  million, a reduction of approximately $362.1 million from the
  prior year's balance of $2,528.1 million.  Reductions in long-
  term debt of $251.8 million represent the reclassification of
  the current maturities of long-term debt to loans payable.  In
  addition, the company repaid $110.0 million of long-term
  debt with accelerated payments during the year.  Foreign
  exchange activity had a minimal effect on the account balance
  during the year.

o Postemployment and other benefit liabilities at December 31,
  1998, totalled $820.5 million, a decrease of $41.6 million from
  the December 31, 1997, balance.  Postemployment liabilities
  include medical and life insurance postretirement benefits,
  long-term pension and other noncurrent postemployment accruals.
  (See Notes 16 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
  for additional information).

o Minority interest liabilities at December 31, 1998, totalled
  $33.6 million, which represents a net increase of $10.1 million
  over the balance at the end of the prior year.  This liability
  represents the ownership interests of other entities in
  selected consolidated subsidiaries of the company.  The change
  in the account balance for 1998 was due to earnings, advances
  and changes in ownership participation.

o Other liabilities (noncurrent) at December 31, 1998, totalled
  $152.5 million, which reflected an increase of $6.5 million
  over the balance at December 31, 1997. These obligations are
  not expected to be paid in the next year. Generally, these
  accruals cover environmental, insurance, legal and other long-
  term contractual obligations.

 Other information concerning the company's financial resources,
 commitments and plans is as follows:

 The average short-term borrowings outstanding, excluding
 current maturities of long-term debt, was $314.8 million in
 1998, compared to $376.0 million in 1997.  The weighted average
 interest rate during 1998 was 6.3%, compared to 6.2% during the
 previous year.  The maximum amounts outstanding during 1998 and
 1997, were $794.1 million and $2,433.0 million, respectively.

 The company had $1.0 billion in domestic short-term credit
 lines at December 31, 1998, and $436.2 million of foreign
 credit lines available for working capital purposes, $1.4
 billion of which was unused at the end of the year.

 In 1998, foreign currency translation adjustments increased
 shareholders' equity by $2.5 million.  This change was due to
 the minor weakening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies
 in countries where the company has significant operations.
 Currency changes in France, Germany, and Japan accounted for
 nearly all of the change.

                                  ARTICLE I.

                            STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS

Section 1.  Annual Meeting:  The annual meeting of the
Stockholders of the Company shall be held on the fourth Thursday
of April, in each year, or such other date as the Board of
Directors may determine, at such hour and at such place within or
without the State of New Jersey as may be fixed by the Board of
Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, for the
election of Directors of the Company and for the transaction of
such other business as may come before it in accordance with the
provisions of these By-Laws.

At any such annual meeting of Stockholders, only such business
shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting
(a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (b) by
any Stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting who complies
with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.  Any Stockholder
entitled to vote at such meeting may propose business to be
included in the agenda of such meeting only if written notice of
such Stockholder's intent is given to the Secretary of the
Company, either by personal delivery or by United States mail,
postage prepaid, not later than 90 days in advance of the
anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting or if the
date of the annual meeting of Stockholders occurs more than 30
days before or 60 days after the anniversary of such immediately
preceding annual meeting, not later than the close of business on
the seventh day following the date on which notice of such
meeting is given to Stockholders.  A Stockholder's notice to the
Secretary shall set forth in writing as to each matter such
Stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a
brief description of the business desired to be brought before
the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business
at the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear
on the Company's books, of the Stockholder proposing such
business, (c) the class and number of shares of the Company which
are beneficially owned by the Stockholder and (d) any material
interest of the Stockholder in such business.  Notwithstanding
anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be
conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 1.  The officer of the
Company or other person presiding at the annual meeting shall, if
the facts so warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that
business was not properly brought before the meeting in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 1, and, if such
officer or other person should so determine, he or she shall so
declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought
before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Section 2.    Special Meetings: Special meetings of the
Stockholders may be held at the principal office of the Company
in the State of New Jersey or at such other place within or
without said State as may from time to time be designated by the
Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting,
whenever called in writing by the Chairman of the Board, the
Vice-Chairman or the President or by vote of a majority of the
Board of Directors.  At any special meeting of the Stockholders,
only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought
before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors and such business shall be confined to the object or
objects stated in the notice thereof.

Section 3.  Quorum:  Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate
of Incorporation of this Company or by statute, the presence in
person or by proxy of the holders of record of the shares
entitled to cast a majority of the votes at any meeting of the
Stockholders shall constitute a quorum at such meeting.  Whenever
the holders of any class or series of shares are entitled to vote
separately on a specified item of business, the presence in
person or by proxy of the holders of record of the shares of such
class or series entitled to cast a majority of the votes thereon
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such specified
item of business.

If the holders of the amount of stock necessary to constitute a
quorum shall fail to attend in person or by proxy at the time and
place fixed by these By-Laws for an annual meeting, or as fixed
by notice, as above provided for a special meeting, a majority in
interest of the Stockholders present, in person or by proxy, may
adjourn from time to time without notice other than announcement
at the meeting until the holders of the amount of stock requisite
to constitute a quorum shall attend.  At any such adjourned
meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally notified.

Section 4.  Organization: The Chairman of the Board shall call
meetings of the Stockholders to order and shall act as chairman
of such meetings.  In the absence of the Chairman of the Board,
or if he so designates, the Chief Executive Officer, or in his
absence, the Vice Chairman, the President, an Executive Vice
President shall preside, and in the absence of any of the
foregoing officers, the Stockholders present, or the Board of
Directors, may appoint any stockholder to act as chairman of any
meeting.

The Secretary of the Company shall act as Secretary of all
meetings of the Stockholders.  In the absence of the Secretary at
any meeting of the Stockholders, the presiding officer, may
appoint any person to act as Secretary of the meeting.

Section 5.  Voting:  At each meeting of the Stockholders, every
Stockholder shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy
appointed by instrument in writing subscribed by such Stockholder
or by his duly authorized attorney and delivered to the
inspectors at the meeting.  The votes for Directors and, upon
demand of any Stockholder, the votes upon any question before the
meeting shall be by ballot.

Section 6.  Inspectors:  At each annual stated meeting of the
Stockholders for the election of Directors, the presiding officer
of such meeting shall appoint two persons to act as inspectors,
who shall be sworn to perform their duties in accordance with the
laws of the State of New Jersey, and who shall return a formal
certificate.

Section 7. Organization:  The Board of Directors shall annually
elect one of its members to be Chairman of the Board and shall
fill any vacancy in the position of Chairman of the Board at such
time and in such manner as the Board of Directors shall
determine.

The Chairman of the Board shall preside at meetings of the Board
of Directors and lead the Board in fulfilling its
responsibilities as defined in Section 1 of this Article II and,
in particular, its responsibilities to oversee the performance of
the Company.

The Board of Directors may also elect one or more of its members
to serve as a Vice Chairman of the Board who shall have such
duties and responsibilities as are provided by these By-Laws or
may be determined by the Board of Directors.

In the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive
Officer, or in his absence, the Vice Chairman of the Board, or in
his absence, a member of the Board selected by the members
present, shall preside at meetings of the Board.

Section 8.    Nominations of Directors: Nominations for the
election of Directors may be made by the Board of Directors or
any Stockholder entitled to vote for the election of Directors.
Any Stockholder entitled to vote for the election of Directors at
a meeting or to express a consent in writing without a meeting
may nominate a person or persons for election as a Director only
if written notice of such Stockholder's intent to make such
nomination is given to the Secretary of the Company, either by
personal delivery or United States mail, postage prepaid, not
later than (a) with respect to an election to be held at an
annual meeting of Stockholders, 90 days in advance of the
anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting or if the
date of the annual meeting of Stockholders occurs more than 30
days before or 60 days after the anniversary of such immediately
preceding annual meeting, not later than the close of business on
the seventh day following the date on which notice of such
meeting is given to Stockholders and (b) in the case of any
Stockholder who wishes to nominate a person or persons for
election as a Director pursuant to consents in writing by
Stockholders without a meeting (to the extent election by such
consents is permitted under applicable law and the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation), 60 days in advance of the date on
which materials soliciting such consents are first mailed to
Stockholders or, if no such materials are required to be mailed
under applicable law, 60 days in advance of the date on which the
first such consent in writing is executed.  Each such notice
shall set forth the name and address of the Stockholder who
intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be
nominated for election as a Director, a representation that the
Stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company
entitled to vote at such meeting or to express such consent in
writing and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the
meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice
or to execute such a consent in writing to elect such person or
persons as a Director, a description of all arrangements or
understandings between the Stockholder and each nominee and any
other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant
to which the nomination or nominations for election as a Director
are to be made by the Stockholder, such other information
regarding each nominee proposed by such Stockholder as would have
been required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant
to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission if
such nominee had been nominated, or was intended to be nominated,
for election as a Director by the Board of Directors, and the
consent of each nominee to serve as a Director of the Company if
so elected.  The Board of Directors may refuse to acknowledge the
nomination of any person not made in compliance with the
foregoing procedures.

                               ARTICLE II.

                           BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 1. Number and Election:  The business and property of the
Company shall be managed by a Board of ten Directors.  The number
of Directors may be altered from time to time by the alteration
of these By-Laws, provided that, as required by the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, the Board shall never consist of
less than eight members.

As provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the
Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, two
consisting of three Directors each and the remaining consisting
of four Directors.  At each annual election, the successors to
the Directors of the class whose terms shall expire in that year
shall be elected to hold office for a term of three years, so
that the term of office of one class of Directors shall expire in
each year.  Each Director shall serve for the term for which such
Director shall have been elected and until such Director's
successor shall have been duly elected.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, if
and as long as the Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
for the election of additional Directors by class or classes of
stock, such additional Directors shall be elected in the manner
and for the term provided in the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation.

Section 2.  Vacancies:  Subject to any requirements of the
Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the filling of
vacancies among additional Directors elected by a class or
classes of stock, if the office of any Director becomes vacant,
the remaining Directors may, by a majority vote, elect a
successor who shall hold office until the next succeeding annual
meeting of the Stockholders and until his successor shall have
been elected and qualified.

Section 3.  Place of Meetings:  The Directors may hold their
meetings and may have an office and keep the books of the Company
(except as otherwise may be provided for by law) in such place or
places in the State of New Jersey or outside of the State of New
Jersey as the Board from time to time may determine.

Section 4.  Regular Meetings:  Regular meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held at such times and intervals as the Board
may from time to time determine.  It shall be the duty of the
Secretary to send a notice to each of the Directors at his
address as it appears on the books of the Company at least two
(2) days before the holding of each regular meeting, but a
failure of the Secretary to send such notice shall not invalidate
any proceedings of the said Board.

Section 5.  Special Meetings:  Special meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held whenever called by the Chairman of the
Board or the Vice-Chairman or the President, or by one-third
(1/3) of the Directors for the time being in office.

The Secretary shall give notice of each special meeting by
mailing the same at least two (2) days before the meeting, or by
telegraphing the same at least one (1) day before the meeting to
each Director, but such notice may be waived by any Director.  At
any meeting at which every Director shall be present, even
without notice, any business may be transacted.

Section 6.  Quorum:  Six (6) members of the Board of Directors,
but not less than one-third (1/3) of the entire Board, shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; but if at
any meeting of the Board there be less than a quorum present,
those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time.  At
meetings of the Board of Directors, business shall be transacted
in such order as from time to time the Board may determine.

Section 7.  Director Emeritus:  The Board of Directors may
appoint a person who has served with distinction and who has
retired from the Board upon reaching mandatory retirement as
provided herein to the position of Director Emeritus.  A Director
Emeritus shall be invited to attend all meetings of the Board and
shall receive the same compensation as that paid to outside
Directors.  While serving as a Director Emeritus, he shall not be
considered a retired director for pension benefit purposes;
however, any pension benefits to which he may be entitled will
commence upon his cessation of service as a Director Emeritus.
He shall be appointed by the Board for a one-year term and may be
reappointed from time to time by action of the Board.  While the
presence of a Director Emeritus at a Board meeting will not be
considered for quorum or voting purposes, nevertheless, his
advice and counsel on all matters to come before the Board is
invited.

                             ARTICLE III.

                              COMMITTEES

may deem advisable, subject to such conditions as they may
prescribe.

The Board of Directors may appoint an officer to act as Chief
Financial Officer of the Company, who shall have responsibility
for the financial affairs of the Company.  He will be responsible
for the preparation of the financial statements of the Company,
and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him

                             ARTICLE V.

                     BILLS, NOTES, AND CHECKS

All bills, notes, checks or other negotiable instruments of the
Company shall be made in the name of the Company and shall be

name of the Company to bind the Company thereby, except as in
this Article prescribed and provided.

No officer or agent of this Company shall have power to endorse

Section 1.  Certificates for Shares:  The certificates for shares
of the capital stock of the Company shall be in such form not
inconsistent with the Certificate of Incorporation as shall be
prepared or be approved by the Board of Directors.  The
certificates shall be signed by or bear thereon the facsimile
signature of the Chairman, the Vice-Chairman, President, or an

Section 2.  Transfers:  Shares of the capital stock of the

of Directors shall have power and authority to make all such

the capital stock of the Company.  The Board of Directors may
appoint Transfer Agents and Stock Registrars and may require all
stock certificates to bear the signatures of such a Transfer
Agent and of such a Registrar of Transfers, or any of them.

The stock transfer books may be closed for such period next
preceding any Stockholders' meeting, or the payment of dividends
as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine, and
during such period no stock shall be transferable.

The Board of Directors may also fix in advance a date not more

payment of any dividend on the Common Stock or any series of
Preference Stock, or the date for allotment of rights, or the

                          REACQUIRED SHARES

When shares of the Company are reacquired by the Company by
purchase, by redemption or by their conversion into other shares

                             ARTICLE IX.

          INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHERS

Section 1.  Right to Indemnification:  Each person who was or is
made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is
involved in any pending, threatened or completed civil, criminal,
administrative or arbitrative action, suit or proceeding, or any
appeal therein or any inquiry or investigation which could lead
to such action, suit or proceeding ("proceeding"), by reason of
his or her being or having been a Director or officer of the
Company or of any constituent corporation absorbed by the Company
in a consolidation or merger, or by reason of his or her being or
having been a Director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of
any other corporation (domestic or foreign) or of any
partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise (whether or not for profit),
serving as such at the request of the Company or of any such
constituent corporation, or the legal representative of any
such Director, officer, trustee, employee or agent, shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest
extent permitted by the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, as
the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of
any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment
permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights
than said Act permitted prior to such amendment), from and
against any and all reasonable costs, disbursements and
attorneys' fees, and any and all amounts paid or incurred in
satisfaction of settlements, judgments, fines and penalties,
incurred or suffered in connection with any such proceeding, and
such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a Director, officer, trustee, employee or agent and shall
inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors,
administrators and assigns; provided, however, that there shall
be no indemnification hereunder with respect to any settlement or
other nonadjudicated disposition of any proceeding unless the
Company has given its prior consent to such settlement or
disposition.  The right to indemnification conferred in this
Section 1 shall be a contract right and shall include the right
to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in connection
with any proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such
proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors; provided,
however, that, if the New Jersey Business Corporation Act so
requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a Director or
officer in his or her capacity as a Director or officer in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made
only upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking, by or on
behalf of such Director or officer, to repay all amounts so
advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director
or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 1
or otherwise.  The Company may, by action of its Board of
Directors, provide for indemnification and advancement of
expenses to employees and agents of the Company with the same
scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of Directors
and officers.

Section 2.  Right of Claimant to Bring Suit:  If a claim under
Section 1 of this Article IX is not paid in full by the Company
within thirty days after a written request has been received by
the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter apply to a
court for an award of indemnification by the Company for the
unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful on the merits or
otherwise in connection with any proceeding, or in the defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, the claimant shall be
entitled also to be paid by the Company any and all expenses
incurred or suffered in connection with such proceeding.  It
shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action
brought to enforce a claim for the advancement of expenses
incurred in connection with any proceeding where the required
undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Company) that the
claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it
permissible under the New Jersey Business Corporation Act for the
Company to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the
burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company.  Neither
the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such proceeding that
indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances
because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, nor an actual
determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant
has not met such applicable standard of conduct, nor the
termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 3.  Non-Exclusivity of Rights:  The right to
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or
granted pursuant to this Article IX shall not exclude or be
exclusive of any other rights, including the right to be
indemnified against any and all reasonable costs, disbursements
and attorneys' fees, and any and all amounts paid or incurred in
satisfaction of settlements, judgments, fines and penalties
incurred or suffered in proceedings by or in the right of the
Company, to which any person may be entitled under a certificate
of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders, or
otherwise, provided that no indemnification shall be made to or
on behalf of any person if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to such person establishes that such person has
not met the applicable standard of conduct required to be met
under the New Jersey Business Corporation Act.

                            ARTICLE X.

                            AMENDMENTS

The Board of Directors may, by a majority vote of the entire
Board, make By-Laws and from time to time alter, amend or repeal
any By-Law, but any By-Law made by the Board of Directors may be
altered or repealed by the Stockholders at any annual or special
meeting.  Notice of such proposed alteration, amendment or repeal
of any By-Law shall be included in the notice of the meeting of
the Directors or Stockholders.

                           ARTICLE XI.

                            AUDITORS

The Board of Directors may appoint a firm of certified public
accountants to audit the books and accounts of the Company for
the calendar year in which such appointment is made.





                                                     Exhibit 10(iii) (c)


                    DESCRIPTION OF BONUS ARRANGEMENT
                    FOR EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS OF
                        INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY

     There is no formal document setting forth this
arrangement.  However, as set forth in the Company's 2000
Proxy Statement, subject to the approval of the Board of
Directors which approves the amount of each award, the
Compensation and Benefits Committee will approve bonus
arrangements for the Executive Vice Presidents.  These
officers may receive bonuses attributable to 2000 dependent
upon the Company's attainment of predetermined earnings per
share goals.  The amount of such bonus is discretionary and
is subject to general guidelines.  Discretionary bonuses may
be paid in the event that corporate goals are not met.





                                                 Exhibit 10 (iii)(u)

                  COMPOSITE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                   WITH CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Mr. Herbert L. Henkel
4 Spinney Lane
North Kingstown, RI  02852

Dear Herb:

On behalf of Chairman Jim Perrella and Ingersoll-Rand's
Board of Directors, I am pleased to confirm our
invitation to you to become Chief Operating Officer,
Chief Executive Officer-designate and a member of our
Board of Directors.  (Note:  Your formal election will
be May 4, 1999 at our next Board meeting.)  Our Board
is delighted you will join Ingersoll-Rand and looks
forward to your leadership as we continue to grow our
company for the benefit of customers, employees and
shareholders.

The following confirms the terms and conditions of our
offer:

Salary
Your starting salary as Chief Operating Officer will be
at an annual rate of $750,000 paid monthly.  When you
are promoted to Chief Executive Officer on October 1,
1999, your salary will be increased to $850,000.

Annual Incentive
Your minimum annual incentive bonus for 1999 will be
$725,000.  Annual bonuses are typically paid in
February following Board approval.  Ingersoll-Rand does
not have a "target" incentive plan for its COO, CEO or
Chairman.  Rather, the Board considers individual
contributions to operating results achieved.  Recent
awards, based on achievement of the company's earnings
goal, have been in the range of 100% of salary and
higher.

Stock Options
You will be granted a special 200,000 share initial
stock option award which will be priced on the trading
day immediately preceding the public announcement of
your appointment.  This special award will vest 100% on
January 1, 2004.  In all other respects, the terms of
the company's incentive stock plan will apply.  (See
Attachment A - Stock Option Award)

Your first regular award under the company's incentive
stock plan will be 100,000 shares priced in the same
fashion as described above for the special initial
stock option award.  You will receive a subsequent
award of 50,000 shares on October 1, 1999.  These two
awards vest one-third per year over three years.
Thereafter, additional awards could be made in February
(or our normal option time) or at the point of further
promotion.

Stock Grants
You will receive an initial grant of 43,000 shares of
restricted stock under the company's long term
incentive plan.  Of this grant, 18,000 pertain to
company performance in 1999 and 25,000 pertain to
company performance in 2000.  Under the plan, the
company must achieve annual earnings per share growth
over the period 1998 through 2000 of 12% per year
compounded.  If the company achieves $3.16 earnings per
share in 1999, you will receive 18,000 shares of stock
in February 2000.  You will be eligible for an
additional 25,000 shares for 2000 based on the company
achieving either 12% earnings per share growth in 2000,
or a total of 12% per year compounded over the 1998-
2000 period.  Thereafter, a new three-year long-term
incentive plan will be adopted subject to approval of
our Board of Directors.  (See Attachment B - Stock
Grant Agreement - Sample)

Issues Relating to Non-Vested Textron Options and
Restricted Stock

     Options
     You will receive 6,300 shares of restricted
     stock, 3,000 of which will vest in July 1999 and
     3,300 of which will vest in June 2000.  These
     shares are intended to reflect the value of
     Textron options which will not be vested during
     Textron employment.

     Retention Grant
     You will receive a grant of 60,000 shares of
     restricted stock effective on your employment as
     replacement for 30,000 shares of Textron stock
     which required you to remain with Textron until
     2002.  This new grant will vest on January 1,
     2003.

Pension Plan
You will participate in the company's Qualified Defined
Pension Plan (See Attachment C) and the Elected
Officers' Supplemental Program (See Attachment D).
Your benefit under these plans, assuming retirement at
age 62 the normal retirement age for officers, will be
65% of your base salary, plus the average of your five
highest out of your last six annual incentive bonuses.
Your Textron service and vested terminated Textron
pension benefit will be taken into account in
determining the value of your pension.

Your pension benefit accrual will be as follows:

                                                Retirement
                                                Replacement
                                                Points
o    1.90 points per year for each year of
     Textron service                            22.8 pt. (12x1.90)
o    5.78 points per year for each of the
     first five years with Ingersoll-Rand       28.9 pt.  (5x5.78)
o    1.90 points per year for each of the
     subsequent years of service with
     Ingersoll-Rand, up to age 62               13.3 pt. (7x1.90)
     Totaling 65% at age 62                     65.0 pt.

  If you work past age 62, you will get an additional
  1.9 points per year of service.

Ten Year Annuity
An important part of retirement income for Ingersoll-
Rand officers is the company's ten-year annuity
program.  In your case this benefit, commencing at age
62, is $125,000 per year for the ten-year period.  In
the event of your death, the benefit is payable to your
beneficiary to the extent not already paid.  You will
be enrolled in this program upon your completion of
enrollment procedures, including a physical
examination, the sole purpose of which is to establish
the cost of the underlying insurance product associated
with this benefit.

Employee Benefits
The enclosed summaries describe many of our benefit
programs.  Please note that medical and dental coverage
commences on the first day of the month following 30
days of employment.  Therefore, you may wish to
temporarily maintain your Textron coverage in force
through COBRA to assure full continuity of coverage.
(See Attachment E - Connect to Select 99)

Life Insurance
You will be entitled to purchase supplemental life
insurance of up to 4x your annual earnings.  This four
times limit may be provided through Northwestern Mutual
Life (up to 1x pay) and CIGNA (the additional 3x pay).
If you enroll for at least 1x annual earnings (the
Northwestern Mutual piece), you will be able to carry
1x final annual earnings into retirement.  The cost at
your age is from 42 to 50 cents per thousand.

Long Term Disability Insurance
The company offers a special LTD plan to its officers.
The plan is employee-paid and the benefit tax-free).
Your benefit would be $20,000 per month maximum with
offsets for income from other company-funded sources
including Social Security and Workers' Compensation.
The cost is about $1.20 per $100 of covered
compensation.

Relocation
You will receive the full benefits of the company's
relocation program for transferring homeowners.  A
complete description of this plan is in the attached
document. (See Attachment F)  In connection with your
relocation, Cendant, our relocation service supplier,
will purchase your home for $870,000.  You will receive
$150,000 for expense reimbursement in excess of that
normally provided under our regular policy.  You may
also engage interim housing for up to one year for you
and your family in the process of relocating to
Northern New Jersey.

Vacation
You will be entitled to paid vacation in accordance
with company policy but in no event less than four
weeks per calendar year.

Personal Use of Company Aircraft
You will be entitled to use time on the company's
aircraft lease contract for your personal travel.  Such
use will incur imputed income to the extent required
under Internal Revenue Service regulation and company
policy.  Generally, this means you will be charged
first class airfare for yourself and accompanying
dependents for personal use of company aircraft.

Country Club
You will have corporate membership in your name or that
of the company in country clubs required for business.
As we indicated, Ingersoll-Rand does not provide a
personal country club membership for any of its
officers.

Automobile
You will have the use of a company-provided automobile
under the terms of the company's executive automobile
program.  Broadly, this means you can select from any
US-made sedan or a Jaguar.

Tax, Estate and Financial Planning
You are eligible for the company's Tax, Estate and
Financial Planning service provided by the Ayco
Corporation to officers.

Severance
In the unlikely event you are involuntarily terminated
by the Company without cause or you terminate because
you are not made CEO or Chairman, you will receive
severance pay equal to two times your annual base
salary plus your last (or committed) bonus, i.e.,
2(salary+bonus). In addition, under these
circumstances, you will receive the stock grants
related to your non-vested Textron options and
retention shares, i.e., 6,300 shares and 60,000
respectively, totaling 66,300 shares of Ingersoll-Rand
common stock

Change in Control
Ingersoll-Rand's change-in-control as described on Page
16 of the 1998 proxy applies to you. (See Attachment G
- - 1998 Proxy Statement)  Severance and Change-in-
control are non-duplicative benefits.

Official Company Plan Documents
Descriptions of compensation and benefit plans in this
letter are necessarily summaries.  In case of conflict,
the official company plan documents are the final
authority.

Drug Test
Our offer is contingent upon satisfactorily passing a
drug test and fulfilling the requirements of the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

Herb, I know I speak for Jim Perrella and our entire
Board of Directors when I say we are extremely pleased
you will join our company and we will enjoy an
important and mutually rewarding long-term
relationship.

Please confirm your acceptance of our offer with your
signature on a return copy to me.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Ingersoll-Rand is a multinational manufacturer of primarily
nonelectrical industrial equipment and components.  The company's
principal lines of business are air compressors, architectural
hardware products, automotive parts and components, construction
equipment, golf cars and utility vehicles, pumps, tools and
transport temperature control systems. The company's broad product
line has applications in numerous industries including automotive,
construction, utilities, housing, recreational and transportation,
as well as the general industrial market. A summary of significant
accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying
financial statements follows:

Principles of Consolidation:  The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of all wholly owned and majority owned
subsidiaries.  Intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.  Partially owned equity affiliates companiesare
accounted for under the equity method.  In conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management has used
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities.  Significant estimates include
accounting for doubtful accounts, amortization and depreciation,
warranty, sales returns, taxes and environmental and other
contingencies.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications:  Certain reclassifications were made to prior
year amounts to conform with the 1999 presentation, including
classifying two joint ventures as discontinued operations (see Note
2).  Unless otherwise noted, all amounts and percentages disclosed
in these Notes do not include discontinued operations.

Cash Equivalents:  The company considers all highly liquid
investments, consisting primarily of time deposits and commercial
paper with maturities of three months or less when purchased, to be
cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents were $73.0 million and $1.9
million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Inventories:  Inventories are generally stated at cost, which is
not in excess of market.  Domestically manufactured inventories of
standard products are valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method and all other inventories are valued using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.

Property and Depreciation:  The company principally uses
accelerated depreciation methods for assets placed in service prior
to December 31, 1994.  Assets acquired subsequent to that date are
depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives.

Intangible Assets:  Intangible assets primarily represent the
excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the fair value of
the net assets acquired.  Such excess costs are being amortized on
a straight-line basis generally over 40 years.  Goodwill at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, was $3.7 billion. Intangible assets are
evaluated for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  Intangible assets also
represent costs allocated to patents arising from business
acquisitions, and debt issuance costs.  These assets are amortized
on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1999 and 1998, was $353.5
million and $246.3 million, respectively. Amortization of
intangible assets was $112.8 million, $110.1 million and $54.4
million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Income Taxes:  Deferred taxes are provided on temporary differences
between assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax
purposes as measured by enacted tax rates expected to apply when
temporary differences are settled or realized.  A valuation
allowance is established for deferred tax assets for which
realization is not likely.

Environmental Costs:  Environmental expenditures relating to
current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate.
Expenditures relating to existing conditions caused by past
operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenues,
are expensed.  Costs to prepare environmental site evaluations and
feasibility studies are accrued when the company commits to perform
them.  Liabilities for remediation costs are recorded when they are
probable and reasonably estimable, generally no later than the
completion of feasibility studies or the company's commitment to a
plan of action.  The assessment of this liability, which is
calculated based on existing technology, does not reflect any
offset for possible recoveries from insurance companies and is not
discounted.

Revenue Recognition:  Sales of products are recorded for financial
reporting purposes generally when the products are shipped.
Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers and other
adjustments are generally provided at the time of sale.

Research and Development Costs:  Research and development
expenditures, including qualifying engineering costs, are expensed
when incurred and amounted to $186.2 million in 1999, $169.6
million in 1998 and $138.2 million in 1997.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income includes net income, and
currently in the case of the company, only foreign currency
translation adjustments.  The amounts shown as reclassification
adjustments relate to the accumulated foreign currency translation
adjustment of entities that had been sold, and thus included in net
earnings of the current period.

Foreign Currency:  Assets and liabilities of foreign entities,
where the local currency is the functional currency, have been
translated at year-end exchange rates, and income and expenses have
been translated using weighted average-for-the-year exchange rates.
Adjustments resulting from translation have been recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income and are included in net
earnings only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign
investment.

For foreign entities where the U.S. dollar is the functional
currency, inventory and property balances and related income
statement accounts have been translated using historical exchange
rates, and resulting gains and losses have been credited or charged
to net earnings.

Foreign currency transactions and translations recorded in the
income statement increased net earnings by $2.5 million in 1999 and
decreased net earnings by $8.0 million and $0.1 million in  1998
and 1997, respectively.  Accumulated other comprehensive income was
decreased in 1999 by $46.5 million, increased in 1998 by $2.5
million and decreased in 1997 by $73.2 million due to foreign
currency equity adjustments related to translation and
dispositions.

The company hedges certain foreign currency transactions and firm
foreign currency commitments by entering into forward exchange
contracts (forward contracts).  Gains and losses associated with
currency rate changes on forward contracts hedging foreign
currency transactions are recorded currently in income.  Gains and
losses on forward contracts hedging firm foreign currency
commitments are deferred off-balance sheet and included as a
component of the related transaction, when recorded; however, a
loss is not deferred if deferral would lead to the recognition of a
loss in future periods.  Cash flows resulting from forward
contracts accounted for as hedges of identifiable transactions or
events are classified in the same category as the cash flows from
the items being hedged.

The company also purchases forward contracts to mitigate the
exposure of forecasted future cash flows of foreign subsidiaries.
These contracts range in duration from one to 12 months.  Gains and
losses associated with the change in fair market value of these
contracts are recorded in other income.

Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted
earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding as well as dilutive potential common
shares, which in the company's case comprise shares issuable under
stock benefit plans.  The weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for basic earnings per share calculations were
163,644,073, 163,669,777 and 163,206,932 for 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  For diluted earnings per share purposes, these
balances increased by 2,108,724, 1,812,035 and 1,617,803 shares for
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, due to the effect of common
equivalent shares issuable under the company's stock benefit plans.

Stock-based Compensation:  SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation," requires companies to measure employee stock
compensation plans based on the fair value method of accounting or
to continue to apply APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and provide pro forma footnote disclosures under the
fair value method in SFAS No. 123.  The company continues to apply
the principles of APB No. 25 and has provided pro forma fair value
disclosures in Note 14.

New Accounting Standard: In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This Statement will become
effective beginning January 1, 2001.  SFAS No. 133 requires all
derivatives to be recognized as assets or liabilities on the
balance sheet and measured at fair value.  Changes in the fair
value of derivatives will be recognized in earnings or other
comprehensive income, depending on the designated purpose of the
derivative.  The company is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting the standard and will comply as required.

NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:  On August 12, 1999, the company
announced its intention to dispose of its interest in Dresser-Rand
Company (D-R), a joint venture involved in the reciprocating
compressor and turbo machinery business, and Ingersoll-Dresser Pump
Company (IDP), a joint venture involved in the engineered pump
business.  On October 5, 1999, the joint venture partner, as
permitted under the joint venture agreements, elected to sell its
share of the joint ventures to the company.  Effective December 31,
1999, the company completed the purchase of IDP by acquiring the
joint venture partner's 49% share for a net purchase price of
$377.0 million.  A note for the full purchase price was issued to
the joint venture partner and was redeemed on January 14, 2000. The
net assets have been reported as assets held for sale in the
accompanying financial statements, and prior periods have been
restated to reflect these businesses as discontinued operations.
Historically, IDP had been reported as part of the Engineered
Products Segment, while D-R had been reported in other income
(expense), net.

The net assets of discontinued operations included in assets held
for sale at December 31, are as follows (in millions):

                                             1999              1998

Income from discontinued operations included the following results
for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

                                 1999         1998         1997

The payable to D-R has been netted against the assets held for
sale.  Results reported separately by either D-R or IDP that are
presented on a stand-alone basis may differ from the results based
on discontinued operations reporting.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES: On March 30, 1999, the company
completed the acquisition of Harrow Industries, Inc. (Harrow), a
leading manufacturer of access control technologies, architectural
hardware, and decorative bath fittings and accessories. The
purchase price was approximately $160.0 million, which included the
assumption of certain debt. Since acquisition, the company
segregated certain net assets of Harrow that would be sold within
twelve months.

In the first quarter of 1998, the company acquired for approximately
$15.4 million in cash, substantially all the assets of Johnstone Pump
Company (Johnstone).  Johnstone manufactures industrial piston pumps,
automated dispensing systems and related products for use primarily in
the automotive industry.  Also in the first quarter of 1998, the
company acquired for approximately $18.0 million in cash
certain manufacturing assets used to produce residential locks,
excluding padlocks, from the Master Lock unit of Fortune Brands, Inc.
In the third quarter of 1998, the company acquired full ownership of
GHH-RAND Schraubenkcompressoren GmbH & Co. KG (GHH-RAND), a
manufacturer of air ends for air compressors. The company previously
owned 50% of GHH-RAND Schraubenkcompressoren GmbH & Co. KG (GHH-RAND).
In addition, during 1998, the company purchased several smaller
businesses.

On October 31, 1997, the company acquired Thermo King Corporation
(Thermo King), for approximately $2.56 billion in cash.  Thermo
King is the world leader in the transport temperature-control
business for trailers, truck bodies, seagoing containers, buses and
light-rail cars.  The following unaudited pro forma consolidated
results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997,
reflects the acquisition as though it occurred at the beginning of
the year, after adjustments for the impact of interest on
acquisition debt and depreciation and amortization of assets.

In millions except per share amounts                       1997
Sales                                                  $7,101.2
Earnings from continuing operations                       368.2
Basic earnings per share - continuing operations          $2.26
Diluted earnings per share - continuing operations         2.23

The above pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what
the actual results would have been had the acquisition occurred at
the beginning of the year.  Further, the pro forma results are not
intended to be a projection of future results of the combined
companies.

On April 3, 1997, the company completed the acquisition of Newman
Tonks Group PLC (Newman Tonks), a producer of architectural
hardware, for approximately $370.0 million.

These transactions have been accounted for as purchases and
accordingly, each purchase price was allocated to the acquired
assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair
values.  The company has classified as intangible assets the costs
in excess of the fair value of the net assets of companies
acquired.  The results of all acquired operations have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from their
respective acquisition dates.

NOTE 4 - DISPOSITIONS: During the third quarter, the company
received proceeds of $47.0 million, which approximated book value on
the sale of a portion of the Harrow assets. In December 1999, the
company also sold certain net assets of the Automation Division.
The transaction resulted in a net gain of approximately $4.4
million.  The company also made several minor dispositions during
1999.

In the first quarter of 1998, the company completed the sale
of Ing. G. Klemm Bohrtechnik GmbH.  Also, during 1998, the company
sold certain assets of Ingersoll-Rand Architectural Hardware Group
Limited (formerly Newman Tonks Group Limited PLC).  Sale proceeds
approximated the book value of these assets. In the third quarter
of 1998, the company sold the Spra-Coupe product line, which was
reported as part of the Specialty Vehicles Segment. The sale price
of approximately $35.0 million resulted in a $9.0 million gain.

On February 14, 1997, the company sold the Clark-Hurth Components
Group (Clark-Hurth) for approximately $241.5 million of net cash.
This group's 1997 results, inclusive of the sale transaction,
produced operating income for the first quarter of approximately
$2.7 million, but on an after-tax basis, reduced net earnings by
approximately $3.6 million.

NOTE 5 - INVENTORIES:  At December 31, inventories were as follows:

In millions                                 1999           1998

Total                                   $  742.1       $  824.8

Work-in-process inventories are stated after deducting customer
progress payments of $2.0 million in 1999 and $5.6 million in 1998.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, LIFO inventories comprised
approximately 51% and 49%, respectively, of consolidated
inventories.  There were no material liquidations of LIFO layers
for all periods presented.

NOTE 6 - INVESTMENTS IN PARTIALLY OWNED EQUITY AFFILIATES:  The
company has numerous investments, ranging from 20% to 50%, in
companies that operate in similar lines of business.

The company's investments in and amounts due to/(from) partially
owned equity affiliates amounted to $197.4 million and $0.8
million, respectively, at December 31, 1999, and $184.3 million and
$(0.7) million, respectively, at December 31, 1998.  The company's
equity in the net earnings of its partially owned equity affiliates
was $9.5 million, $13.6 million and $18.5 million in 1999, 1998 and
1997 respectively.

The company received dividends based on its equity interests in
these companies of $6.4 million, $6.7 million, and $7.6 million in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Summarized financial information for these partially owned equity
affiliates at December 31, and for the years then ended:

NOTE 8 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:  The company, as a large
multinational company, maintains significant operations in foreign
countries.  As a result of these global activities, the company is
exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which affect
the results of operations and financial condition.  The company
manages exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates
through its normal operating and financing activities, as well as
through the use of financial instruments.
Generally, the only financial instruments the company utilizes are
forward exchange contracts and options.

In late 1999, the company began purchasing commodity contracts to
hedge a portion of the costs of metals used in its products.
Activity for 1999 was minimal.

The purpose of the company's hedging activities is to mitigate the
impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The company
attempts to hedge transaction exposures through natural offsets. To
the extent that this is not practicable, major exposure areas
considered for hedging include foreign currency denominated
receivables and payables, intercompany loans, firm committed
transactions, anticipated sales and purchases, and dividends
relating to foreign subsidiaries.  The following table summarizes
by major currency the contractual amounts of the company's forward
contracts in U.S. dollars.  Foreign currency amounts are translated
at year-end rates at the respective reporting date.  The "buy"
amounts represent the U.S. equivalent of commitments to purchase
foreign currencies, and the "sell" amounts represent the U.S.
equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies.  Some of the
forward contracts involve the exchange of two foreign currencies
according to local needs in foreign subsidiaries.

At December 31, the contractual amounts were:

In millions                      1999                 1998

  Total                   $205.9     $66.3     $133.5   $628.4

Forward contracts utilized by the company have maturities of one to
12 months.

The company's forward contracts that hedge transactions or firm
commitments do not subject the company to risk due to foreign
exchange rate movement, since gains and losses on these contracts
generally offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities or
other transactions being hedged.  Contracts purchased to mitigate
the variability of future cash flows of foreign subsidiaries bear
market risk to the extent actual transacted amounts vary from the
forecasted amounts.  All gains and losses on these contracts have
been included in earnings.

The counterparties to the company's forward contracts consist of a
number of major international financial institutions.  The company
could be exposed to loss in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparties.  However, credit ratings and concentration of risk
of these financial institutions are monitored on a continuing basis
and present no significant credit risk to the company.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, marketable
securities, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts
payable are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the
short-term nature of these instruments.  The following table
summarizes the estimated fair value of the company's remaining
financial instruments at December 31:

In millions                                  1999           1998
Long-term debt:
Carrying value                           $2,113.3       $2,166.0
Estimated fair value                      2,083.9        2,299.7
Forward contracts:
Contract (notional) amounts:
  Buy contracts                          $  205.9       $  133.5
  Sell contracts                             66.3          628.4
Fair (market) values:
  Buy contracts                             209.2          142.9
  Sell contracts                             66.5          635.3

Fair value of long-term debt was determined by reference to the
December 31, 1999 and 1998, market values of comparably rated debt
instruments.  Fair values of forward contracts are based on dealer
quotes at the respective reporting dates.

NOTE 9 - LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES:

                                         $2,113.3       $2,166.0


Debt retirements for the next five years are as follows:
$73.1 million in 2000, $736.3 million in 2001, $84.0 million in
2002, $198.3 million in 2003 and $315.5 million in 2004.

In December 1998, the company repurchased $110.0 million of its
medium-term notes for $116.9 million including accrued interest.
The average coupon of the notes repurchased was 6.53% with
maturities ranging from 2000 to 2005.

At December 31, 1999, the company's committed revolving credit
lines consisted of two 364-day lines and a five-year line totalling
$1.3 billion and $750.0 million, respectively, both of which were
unused. These lines provide support for commercial paper and
indirectly provide support for other financing  instruments, such
as letters of credit and comfort letters, as required in the normal
course of business.  The company compensates banks for these lines
with fees equal to a weighted average of 0.06375% per annum.
Available foreign lines of credit were $614.6 million, of which
$540.9 million were unused at December 31, 1999.  No major cash
balances were subject to withdrawal restrictions.  At December 31,
1999, and 1998 the average rate of interest for loans payable,
excluding the current portion of long-term debt, was 4.186% and
8.306%, respectively.

Capitalized interest on construction and other capital projects
amounted to $4.0 million, $4.0 million and $3.2 million in 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively.  Interest income, included in other
income (expense), net, was $5.4 million, $7.5 million and $11.0
million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:  The company is involved
in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings,
including environmental matters, arising in the normal course of
business.  In assessing its potential environmental liability, the
company bases its estimates on current technologies and does not
discount its liability or assume any insurance recoveries.  Amounts
recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which
are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional
information when it becomes available.  Subject to the
uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent
liabilities, management believes that recovery or liability with
respect to these matters would not have a material effect on the
financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows
of the company for any year.

The company has established two wholly owned special purpose
subsidiaries to purchase accounts and notes receivable at a
discount from the company on a continuous basis.  These special
purpose subsidiaries simultaneously sell an undivided interest in
these accounts and notes receivable to a financial institution up
to a maximum of $170.0 million.  The agreements between the special
purpose corporations and the financial institution expire annually
and will be renewed with either the current or another financial
institution.  The company is retained as the servicer of the pooled
receivables.  During 1999, 1998 and 1997, such sales of receivables
amounted to $781.8 million, $723.7 million and $614.0 million,
respectively.  At December 31, 1999, $170.0 million of such sold
receivables remained uncollected.

Receivables, excluding the designated pool of accounts and notes
receivable, sold during 1999 and 1998 with recourse, amounted to
$57.5 million and $55.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 1999
and 1998, $18.7 million and $12.4 million, respectively, of such
receivables sold remained uncollected.

As of December 31, 1999, the company had no significant
concentrations of credit risk in trade receivables due to the large
number of customers which comprised its receivables base and their
dispersion across different industries and countries.
In the normal course of business, the company has issued several
direct and indirect guarantees, including performance letters of
credit, totalling approximately $104.0 million at December 31,
1999. The company has also guaranteed the residual value of leased
product in the aggregate amount of $39.1 million. Upon the
termination of a dealer, a newly selected dealer generally acquires
the assets of the prior dealer and assumes any related financial
obligation.  Accordingly, the risk of loss to the company is
minimal, and historically, only immaterial losses have been
incurred relating to these arrangements.  Management believes these
guarantees will not adversely affect the consolidated financial
statements.

Certain office and warehouse facilities, transportation vehicles
and data processing equipment are leased.  Total rental expense was
$71.6 million in 1999, $71.2 million in 1998 and $69.5 million in
1997.  Minimum lease payments required under noncancellable
operating leases with terms in excess of one year
for the next five years and thereafter, are as follows: $46.3
million in 2000, $37.2 million in 2001, $27.2 million in 2002,
$17.9 million in 2003, $15.7 million in 2004 and $25.7 million
thereafter.

NOTE 11 - EQUITY-LINKED SECURITIES: In March 1998, the company,
together with Ingersoll Financing I, a Delaware statutory business
trust of the company (Finance Trust), issued an aggregate of (a)
16,100,000 equity-linked securities, and (b) 1,610,000 Finance
Trust 6.22% capital securities, each with a $25 stated liquidation
amount (the capital securities). The equity-linked securities
consisted of (a) 14,490,000 income equity-linked securities (income
securities), and (b) 1,610,000 growth equity-linked securities
(growth securities).

Each equity-linked security consists of a unit comprised of (a) a
contract to purchase from the company no later than May 16, 2001, a
number of shares of the company's common stock determined in
accordance with a specified formula and to receive an annual
contract adjustment payment until May 15, 2001 of 0.53%, (in the
case of an income security), or 0.78% (in the case of a growth
security), and (b) either beneficial ownership of a capital
security (in the case of an income security), or a 1/40 undivided
beneficial interest in a zero coupon U.S. Treasury Security
maturing May 15, 2001 (in the case of a growth security). Under the
terms of the stock purchase contracts, the company will issue
between 6.9 million and 8.3 million common shares by May 16, 2001.
The capital securities associated with the income securities and
the U.S. Treasury Securities associated with the growth securities
have been pledged as collateral to secure the holders' obligations
in respect of the common stock purchase contracts.

The capital securities were issued by the Finance Trust and are
entitled to a distribution rate of 6.22% per annum of their $25
stated liquidation amount.  The Finance Trust utilized the proceeds
from the issuance of the equity-linked and capital securities to
purchase $402.5 million of the company's 6.22% Debentures due May
16, 2003.  The Debentures are the sole asset of the Finance Trust.
The interest rate on the 6.22% Debentures and the distribution rate
on the capital securities and common securities of the Finance
Trust are to be reset, subject to certain limitations, effective
May 16, 2001.

The company has recorded the present value of the contract
adjustment payments, totalling $6.4 million, as a liability and a
reduction of shareholders' equity.  The liability will be reduced
as the contract adjustment payments are made.  The company has the
right to defer the contract adjustment payments and the payment of
interest on the 6.22% Debentures, but any such election will
subject the company to restrictions on the payment of dividends on,
and redemption of, its outstanding shares of common stock, and on
the payment of interest on, or redemption of, debt securities of
the company junior in rank to the 6.22% Debentures.

The company paid costs of approximately $12.9 million in connection
with the issuance of the equity-linked securities and the capital
securities.  The portion of such costs which relate to the issuance
of the stock purchase contracts has been recorded as a reduction of
shareholders' equity.

NOTE 12 - COMMON STOCK: In May 1997, the board of directors
authorized the repurchase of up to 15.0 million shares of the
company's common stock at management's discretion.  Shares
repurchased will be used for general corporate purposes.  The
number of treasury shares at December 31, 1999, and December 31,
1998, were 8,039,516 and 4,494,930, respectively.

In August 1997, the board of directors declared a three-for-two
stock split of the company's common stock.  The stock split was
made in the form of a stock dividend, and was paid on September
2, 1997, to shareholders of record on August 19, 1997. All prior
year per share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock
split.

In November 1998, the company adopted a new shareholder rights plan
to replace the plan which expired on December 22, 1998. Under the
new plan, one right was distributed for each share of Ingersoll-
Rand common stock outstanding at the close of business on December
22, 1998.

Initially, the rights are attached to the common stock and are not
exercisable.  The rights become exercisable and will trade
separately from the common stock 10 days following the first
public announcement that any person or group has acquired at least
15% of the company's outstanding common stock, or on the 10th day
following the commencement or the announcement of an intention to
commence a tender offer, which would result in that person or group
acquiring beneficial ownership of att least 15 % of the outstanding
shares of common stock.  Each right would entitle the holder to
purchase one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preference Stock at
an exercise price of $200.

If any person or group acquires 15% or more of the company's common
stock, the rights not held by the 15% shareholder would become
exercisable to purchase the company's common stock at a 50%
discount.  The plan provides that, at any time after a person or
group becomes an acquiring person and prior to the acquisition by
that person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding common
stock, the board may exchange the rights (other than the rights
held by the acquiring person, which will have become void), at an
exchange ratio of one share of common stock per right.

The new rights will expire on December 22, 2008, unless earlier
redeemed or exchanged by the company, as provided in the rights
plan.  The company may elect to redeem the rights at $0.01 per
right.

NOTE 13 - LEVERAGED EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN:  The company's
sponsors a Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan (LESOP) for
eligible employees.  The LESOP is used to fund certain employee
benefit plans. At December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, the
LESOP held approximately 0.7 million and 1.1 million shares,
respectively, which are unallocated. The carrying value0 offor the
unallocated shares was $16.5 million and $27.0 million at December
31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, respectively, and is classified as
a reduction of shareholders' equity pending allocation to
participants. At December 31, 1999, the LESOP owed
the company $8.4 million payable in monthly installments through
2001.  Company contributions to the LESOP and dividends on
unallocated shares are used to make loan principal and interest
payments. With each principal and interest payment, the LESOP
allocates a portion of the common stock to participating employees.

NOTE 14 - INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS:  Under the company's Incentive
Stock Plans, key employees have been granted options to purchase
common shares at prices not less than the fair market value at the
date of the grant.  Options issued before December 31, 1998, became
exercisable one year after the date of the grant and expire at the
end of 10 years.  Options issued after January 1, 1999, become
exercisable ratably over a three year period from their date of
grant and expire at the end of 10 years.  The plans, approved in
1990, 1995 and 1998, also authorize stock appreciation rights
(SARs) and stock awards.

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," the company continues to account for its stock plans
in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," and its related interpretations.  Accordingly,
compensation expense has been recognized for SARs (which were
generally settled for cash) and for stock awards.

Under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost for the applicable provisions
of the company's incentive stock plans would be determined based
upon the fair value at the grant date for awards issued since 1996.
Applying this methodology would have reduced net earnings and
diluted earnings per share by approximately $8.5 million and five
cents per share for 1999; $14.7 million and nine cents per share
for 1998; and $10.0 million and six cents per share for 1997.  On
December 15, 1996, the company cancelled SARs which were previously
attached to 2,758,500 stock options. Included in the SFAS No. 123
expense for 1997 was approximately $1.5 million (or one cent per
share) for the cost of this revocation.  The average fair values of
the options granted during 1999, 1998 and 1997 were estimated at
$14.15, $8.06 and $8.55, respectively, on the date of grant, using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which included the
following assumptions:
                                   1999           1998           1997

At December 31, 1999, there were 402,050 SARs outstanding with no
stock options attached.  The company has reserved 10,309,456 shares
for future awards at December 31, 1999.  In addition, 554,875
440,422 shares of common stock were reserved for future issue,
contingent upon attainment of certain performance goals and future
service and 229,427 shares have been earned but deferred at
December 31, 1999.

The weighted average number of shares exercisable and the weighted average
exercise prices were 4,561,025 shares at a price of $27.44 for December 31,
1998, and 4,012,400 shares at a price of $23.47 for December 31, 1997.

The company also maintains a shareholder-approved Management
Incentive Unit Award Plan. Under the plan, qualifying executives
are awarded incentive units.  When dividends are paid on common
stock, dividends are awarded to unit holders, one-half of which is
paid in cash, the remaining half of which is credited to the
participant's account in the form of so-called common stock
equivalents.  The fair value of accumulated common stock
equivalents is paid in cash upon the participant's retirement.  The
number of common stock equivalents credited to participants' accounts
at December 31, 1999 and 1998, are315,210 484,341 and 513,470, respectively.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES:  Earnings before income taxes for the years
ended December 31, were taxed within the following jurisdictions:

In millions                    1999          1998           1997

A total of $22.5 million of deferred taxes have been provided for a portion
of the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries operating outside of the
United States.  As to the remainder, these earnings have been, and under
current plans, will continue to be reinvested.  Therefore, it is not
practicable to estimate the amount of additional taxes which may be payable
upon repatriation.

NOTE 16 - POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS:  The company
sponsors several postretirement plans that cover most domestic
employees. These plans provide for health care benefits and in some
instances, life insurance benefits.  Postretirement health plans
are contributory and are adjusted annually.  Life insurance plans
are noncontributory.  When fulltime employees retire from the
company between age 55 and 65, most are eligible to receive, at a
cost to the retiree, certain health care benefits identical to
those available to active employees.  After attaining age 65, an
eligible retiree's health care benefit coverage becomes coordinated
with Medicare.  The company funds the benefit costs principally on
a pay-as-you-go basis.

Summary information on the company's plans at December 31, was as

NOTE 17 - PENSION PLANS:  The company has noncontributory
pension plans covering substantially all domestic employees.  In
addition, certain employees in other countries are covered by
pension plans. The company's domestic salaried plans principally
provide benefits based on a career average earnings formula.
The company's hourly pension plans provide benefits under flat
benefit formulas.  Foreign plans provide benefits based on
earnings and years of service.  Most of the foreign plans
require employee contributions based on the employee's earnings.
In addition, the company maintains other supplemental benefit
plans for officers and other key employees.  The company's
policy is to fund an amount which could be in excess of the
pension cost expensed, subject to the limitations imposed by
current statutes or tax regulations.

with SFAS No. 132 is as follows:

NOTE 18 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION: Operating segments are
defined as components of a company engaging in business activities
for which separate financial information is available and evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision maker in assessing
performance and allocating resources.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies
except that the operating segments results are prepared on a
management basis that is consistent with the manner in which the
company disaggregates financial information for internal review and
decision making.  The company evaluates performance based on
operating income contribution rates.  Intercompany sales
transactions are entirely contained within each segment and are
eliminated at the segment level. A description of the company's
reportable segments is as follows:

Specialty Vehicles
The Specialty Vehicles Segment designs, manufactures and markets
powered vehicles that play a niche role in such fields as
infrastructure development, commercial construction and material
movement. Specialty Vehicles includes Bobcat skid-steer loaders and
compact hydraulic excavators, Club Car golf cars and industrial
vehicles, Blaw-Knox and ABG pavers, and Ingersoll-Rand compactors,
drilling equipment and rough-terrain material handlers.

Air and Temperature Control
The Air and Temperature Control Segment focuses on markets
requiring air and refrigerant-gas compression technology and
services to provide gas pressure for distribution to end users or
to maintain a refrigeration cycle.  Air and Temperature Control
includes Thermo King transport temperature-control equipment and
Ingersoll-Rand air compressors.

Hardware and Tools
The Hardware and Tools Segment concentrates on manufacturing,
marketing, and managing the distribution channels required to reach
end user customers seeking products that enhance productivity and
security in the industrial, construction, and do-it-yourself
markets.  Hardware and Tools includes architectural hardware
products, such as Schlage locks, Von Duprin exit devices, door-
control hardware, steel doors, power-operated doors and
architectural columns, and tools and related industrial-production
equipment.

Engineered Products
The Engineered Products Segment is composed of highly engineered
specific application products that are sold on a contract basis.
Engineered Products includes Torrington and Fafnir bearings and
components.

Report of Management

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the company.  They conform with generally accepted
accounting principles and reflect judgments and estimates as to the
expected effects of incomplete transactions and events being
accounted for currently.  The company believes that the accounting
systems and related controls that it maintains are sufficient to
provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded,
transactions are appropriately authorized and recorded, and the
financial records are reliable for preparing such financial
statements.  The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the
recognition that the cost of a system of internal accounting
controls must be related to the benefits derived.  The company
maintains an internal audit function that is responsible for
evaluating the adequacy and application of financial and operating
controls, and for testing compliance with company policies and
procedures.

The Audit Committee of the board of directors is comprised entirely
of individuals who are not employees of the company.  This committee
meets periodically with the independent accountants, the internal
auditors and management to consider audit results and to discuss
significant internal accounting controls, auditing and financial
reporting matters.  The Audit Committee recommends the selection of
the independent accountants, who are then appointed by the board of
directors, subject to ratification by the shareholders.

The independent accountants are engaged to perform an audit of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards.  Their report follows.

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Ingersoll-Rand Company:


In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Ingersoll-Rand Company and its subsidiaries at December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States,
which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
