            This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Danaher Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Danaher"), and King DC Acquisition Corp., a New York corporation
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Danaher ("Purchaser"), on May 12, 2000 (the
"Schedule TO"), relating to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all outstanding
shares of Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share, including associated
preferred share purchase rights (collectively, the "Shares"), of Kollmorgen
Corporation, a New York corporation ("Kollmorgen"), at a purchase price of
$23.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase ("Offer to Purchase") and in the
related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)
and (a)(2), respectively to the Schedule TO.

ITEMS 1 THROUGH 9 AND 11

            Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by
reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended
and supplemented by adding thereto the following:

            On June 9, 2000, the Offer was extended through 5:30 p.m., Eastern
time, on Wednesday, June 14, 2000. Accordingly, the term "Expiration Date" means
5:30 p.m., Eastern time, on Wednesday, June 14, 2000, unless we further extend
the period of time for which the initial offering period of the Offer is open,
in which case the term "Expiration Date" will mean the time and date at which
the initial offering period of the Offer, as so extended, will expire. According
to a preliminary count by the Depository, there were tendered and not withdrawn
8,515,541 Shares as of 12:00 midnight on June 9, 2000 (excluding 1,258,935
Shares listed on notices of guaranteed delivery received by the Depository),
representing approximately 82.2% of the outstanding Shares. Danaher expects that
all of the shares for which notices of guaranteed delivery have been received
will be delivered and therefore (assuming duplicative notices of guaranteed
delivery were not received with respect to the same shares) that the Offer will
expire with over 90% of the Shares tendered at 5:30 p.m., Eastern time, on
Wednesday, June 14, 2000.

            On June 12, 2000, Danaher issued a press release announcing the
extension of the Offer as described above, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit
(a)(9) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 12     EXHIBITS

            Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended by adding thereto the
following:

            (a)(9)  Text of Press Release issued by Danaher on June 12, 2000.
