Part I.  Item 1. of this report on Form 10-Q is hereby amended and restated in
full below to correct the following inadvertent oversight: (i) the weighted
average number of basic common shares for the  three months ended June 28,
1997, (ii) the weighted average number of basic common shares for the six
months ended June 28, 1997, (iii) earnings per share of basic common shares for
the three months ended June 28, 1997, and (iv) earnings per share of basic
common shares for the six months ended June 28, 1997 were each correctly stated
in Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements, but inaccurately stated in the
text of Item 1. The correct weighted average number of basic common shares for
the three months ended June 28, 1997 is 6,445 (not 6,236 as previously stated
under the caption "Consolidated Statement of Income" in Item 1). The correct
earnings per share of basic common shares for the three months ended June 28,
1997 is $0.23 (not $0.24 as previously stated under the caption "Consolidated
Statement of Income" in Item 1.) The correct weighted average number of basic
common shares for the six months ended June 28, 1997 is 6,445 (not 6,216 as
previously stated under the caption "Consolidated Statement of Income" in Item
1.) The correct earnings per share of basic common shares for the six months
ended June 28, 1997 is $0.37 (not $0.38 as previously stated under the caption
"Consolidated Statement of Income" in Item 1.)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
     interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of
     the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include
     all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
     accounting principles for complete financial statements. Certain
     reclassifications were made to the prior year amounts to conform with the
     1998 presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated
     financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's annual report
     on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
     estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
     amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
     recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
     been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 27,
     1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
     the year ended December 31, 1998.


2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Under the new requirements of FAS No. 128, primary and fully diluted
     earnings per share are replaced by basic and diluted earnings per share.
     Basic earnings per share is computed based only on the weighted average
     number of common shares outstanding during the period and the diluted
     effect of stock options is excluded. Diluted earnings per share is based on
     the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
     outstanding.

         Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market (net realizable
         value). The last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of determining cost is
         principally used for inventories in the United States and the Asian
         branches. The Company uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for
         all other inventories. Inventories valued at LIFO amounted to
         $16,106,000 and $9,395,000 at June 27, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
         respectively. The excess of current cost over stated LIFO value was
         $5,442,000 at June 27, 1998 and $5,247,000 at December 31, 1997.

4.       SPECIAL ITEMS CHARGE

         During the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a special items
         Pre-tax charge of $5.0 million to operations to undertake a
         consolidation of its European operations and write-down the value of
         certain non-performing assets. The special items charge includes
         termination benefits, the costs to exit a manufacturing facility, other
         asset impairments and other related costs. The Company is currently in
         the process of consolidating its German operations and moving the
         manufacturing operation to the United Kingdom. These actions are
         expected to be completed and paid for by the end of the first quarter
         of 1999. The Company does not anticipate any significant benefits in
         1998 from these actions, however, operating margins are expected to
         improve in 1999.

5.       SALE OF LAND

         On March 27, 1998, the Company completed the sale of 42 acres of its 66
         acre site off Route 128 in Canton, Massachusetts for $13.5 million. As
         a result of this transaction, a non-operating pre-tax gain of $11.1
         million was recorded in the first quarter of 1998.

     6.  SALE OF LMS

         On April 14, 1997, the Company sold its Laboratory MicroSystems
         division, known as LMS, to Axiom Systems. The net assets associated
         with LMS at the time of the sale were approximately $2.9 million,and
         there was no significant gain or loss recorded as a result of this
         disposition. The proforma results of this transaction is not disclosed
         as the results were immaterial.

     7.  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, ("SFAS 131") "Disclosure
         about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS 131
         specifies new guidelines for determining a company's operating segments
         and related requirements for disclosure. SFAS 131 will become effective
         for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will
         adopt the new standard for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998,
         and is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on
         the presentation of its financial statements and the disclosures
         therein.

         In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 ("SFAS 132"),
         "Employees' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
         Benefits." The new requirements require increased disclosures for
         public entities. SFAS No. 132 only affects disclosure issues and does
         not change any existing measurement or recognition provisions
         previously required. The statement is effective for fiscal years
         beginning after December 15, 1997. Reclassification for earlier periods
         is required for comparative purposes. The Company will adopt SFAS No.
         132 for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

     8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         As of August 1, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all the assets
         of Satec Systems, Inc. of Grove City, Pennsylvania, for approximately
         $12.8 million in cash. Satec is a manufacturer of a range of materials
         testing equipment sold primarily in the United States with annual sales
         of approximately $18 million. This acquisition will be accounted for
         under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the acquired
         assets and liabilities will be recorded at their estimated fair values
         at the date of acquisition. The Company expects to take a non-recurring
         charge in connection with the related purchased incomplete technology.
         The operating results of Satec will be included in the Company's
         consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
