                  KOLLMORGEN CORPORATION ISSUES STATEMENT


WALTHAM, Mass., December 22, 1997 -- Kollmorgen Corporation (NYSE:KOL), of 
Waltham, Mass., said today that it is disappointed that the Board of 
Directors of Pacific Scientific Company (NYSE:PSX) had recommended that 
Pacific Scientific's shareholders not support Kollmorgen's $20.50 per share 
offer to acquire Pacific Scientific without first engaging in discussions 
with Kollmorgen management to learn more about Kollmorgen's proposal.  
Kollmorgen firmly believes that a business combination between Kollmorgen and 
Pacific Scientific will bring significant benefit to the shareholders of both 
companies and continues to seek a friendly negotiated transaction.

In this regard, Kollmorgen noted that the Pacific Scientific Board indicated 
that it has authorized management and its financial advisors to explore 
alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including a possible sale of the 
company.  While Kollmorgen is encouraged by that statement, Kollmorgen is 
continuing to solicit consents to call a special shareholder meeting of 
Pacific Scientific in order to ensure that Pacific Scientific's shareholders 
will be able to realize the benefits of the proposed transaction in a timely 
manner.  Accordingly, Kollmorgen continues to strongly encourage Pacific 
Scientific shareholders to execute and return the white form of consent 
previously distributed to Pacific Scientific shareholders as soon as possible.

Kollmorgen's primary business is in the area of high-performance electronic 
motion control.  Growth in this business area is fueled by the need for 
higher productivity in every industrial, commercial, aerospace, and consumer 
market segment.  Additional information can be found on the World Wide Web at
