                  This Statement constitutes the Final Amendment to the
        Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with
        the Securities and Exchange Commission by Tinicum
        Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Enterprises"), 
        RUTCO Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("RUTCO"), Mr.
        James H. Kasschau ("Mr. Kasschau"), Mr. Putnam L. Crafts,
        Jr. ("Mr. Crafts"), RIT Capital Partners plc, a United
        Kingdom corporation ("RIT"), J. Rothschild Holdings plc, a
        United Kingdom corporation ("JRH"), and J. Rothschild
        Capital Management Limited, a United Kingdom corporation
        ("JRCML"), in connection with their beneficial ownership of
        shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share ("Common
        Stock"), of Kollmorgen Corporation, a New York corporation
        (the "Issuer").  This Final Amendment is being filed by
        Tinicum Investors, a Delaware general partnership ("TI"),
        Mr. Crafts and RIT.

                  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms
        used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
        Schedule 13D.

        ITEM 5.   INTERESTS IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  Items 5(a)-(c) and (e) are hereby amended and
        supplemented by adding the following:

                  (a)  As of the close of business on the date
        hereof, TI, Mr. Crafts and RIT have beneficial ownership of
        378,157, 41,049 and 131,101 shares of Common Stock,
        respectively.  Such Reporting Persons, as a group,
        beneficially own 378,157 shares of Common Stock, which
        represent 3.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
        based on the 9,740,873 shares of Common Stock reported in
        the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
        ended June 30, 1996 as outstanding on August 12, 1996.

                  To the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge
        and belief, except for Mr. Ruttenberg who beneficially owns
        4,322 shares of Common Stock, and except as otherwise set
        forth herein, none of the persons identified on Schedules I
        or II to the Schedule 13D, as amended, beneficially owns any
        shares of Common Stock.

                  (b)  TI has the sole power to vote the 206,007
        shares of Common Stock it owns and, except for certain
        limited circumstances in which each of Mr. Crafts and RIT
        has the power to vote such Reporting Persons' shares of
        Common Stock (see Items 4 and 6 of the Schedule 13D, as
        amended), the 172,150 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr.
        Crafts and RIT.

                  By reason of the right of first offer granted by
        Mr. Crafts and RIT to TI (as transferee of Enterprises and
        RUTCO) (see Item 6 of the Schedule 13D, as amended), the
        right of TI to require Mr. Crafts and RIT to participate in
        certain sales of shares of Common Stock by it and the right
        of Mr. Crafts and RIT to participate in certain sales by TI
        (see Item 6 of the Schedule 13D, as amended), TI has shared
        power to dispose of 206,007 shares of Common Stock, Mr.
        Crafts has shared power to dispose of 41,049 shares of
        Common Stock and RIT has shared power to dispose of 131,101
        shares of Common Stock.

                  (c)  Since September 24, 1996, the filing date of
        Amendment No. 9 to the Schdule 13D, the Reporting Persons
        have sold shares on the New York Stock Exchange, in the
        amounts, on the dates and at the prices (excluding
        commissions) set forth below:

                        Number of       Avg. Price
           Date           Shares         per Share      Seller

         9/24/96*        13,700           12.8150       TI
         9/24/96*         8,600           12.8150       RIT
         9/24/96*         2,700           12.8150       Mr. Crafts
         10/14/96        71,500           13.0946       TI
         10/14/96        45,200           13.0946       RIT
         10/14/96        14,300           13.0946       Mr. Crafts
         10/15/96        35,600           13.4224       TI
         10/15/96        22,600           13.4224       RIT
         10/15/96         7,100           13.4224       Mr. Crafts

        *    The average price per share amounts of these
             transactions, previously reported on Amendment No. 9 to
             the Schedule 13D, inadvertently included commissions. 
             Such average price per share amounts have been restated
             to exclude commissions.

                  (e)  The Reporting Persons ceased to be the
        beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Common
        Stock of the Issuer on October 14, 1996.  As a result, this
        constitutes the Final Amendment to the Schedule 13D.
