    financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
    accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested 
    that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with 
    the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 
    Corporation's annual report to shareholders for the year ended December 
    31, 1993.  The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1994 
    are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full 
    year.


2.  Investments

    In January 1994, the Corporation received a payment of $1,597,509 from 
    Amersham International PLC (Amersham), composed of cash of $813,654 and 
    52,466 shares of Amersham valued at $783,855, in satisfaction of a 
    contingent purchase price in connection with their 1993 purchase of the 
    Corporation's 20% interest in United States Biochemical Corporation.  As 
    no value was assigned previously to the contingent purchase price, the 
    settlement was recorded as a gain.

    During the first quarter of 1994, the Corporation sold 243,500 shares of 
    its interest in Northwestern Steel and Wire Company (Northwestern), 
    realizing proceeds of $2,779,000 and a pre-tax gain of $2,659,251.  
    Consistent with the previous accounting for Northwestern, this gain was 
    reflected in discontinued operations net of a deferred tax provision of 
    $931,000.

    Effective with the first quarter of 1994, the Corporation has adopted 
    SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
    Securities."  The Northwestern and Amersham shares held by the 
    Corporation have been classified as "available for sale" and reported at 
    market value, with the unrealized gains included in shareholders' 
    equity.  At March 31, 1994, the Corporation owned 862,831 shares of 
    Northwestern and 249,587 shares of Amersham.  The excess of market value 
    over carrying value of $8,340,527 at that date has been included in 
    shareholders' equity.

3.  Litigation

    The Corporation had previously reported on litigation against it in 
    connection with the Chapter 11 filing of Valley-Vulcan Mold Company 
    (Valley), of which a subsidiary of the Corporation is a 50% partner.  On 
    April 4, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court issued a favorable judgment denying all 
    claims against the Corporation.  No reserve had been established for the 
    outcome of this litigation based on the Corporation's belief that it had 
    meritorious defenses.  The plaintiff in the case, the unsecured creditors 
    committee of Valley, has filed a notice of appeal from the Court's 
    decision.

4.  Inventory

    Inventories are comprised of the following:

The Three Months Ended March 31, 1994
Compared_With_The_Three_Months_Ended_March_31,_1993

Operations

Net sales for 1994 decreased by $1,730,000 or 6.0% from the first quarter 1993. 
The decline in sales is principally attributable to Aerofin's heat exchange 
coil business which was impacted by a strike which began on March 12, 1994.  
Sales for the remaining operations were comparable in both periods.  The order 
backlog at March 31, 1994 was $61,700,000 compared with $56,200,000 at December 
31, 1993 and $61,700,000 at March 31, 1993.

The cost of products sold as a percentage of sales was 73.2% in 1994 and 75.0% 
in 1993.  The decrease is primarily a result of an improved product mix in 
1994.  Also, higher production levels in 1994 compared to 1993 contributed to 
the decrease.  Despite a recent increase in order levels noted in the backlog 
figures above, competitive pricing pressures are continuing.

Selling and administrative expenses declined by $750,000 or 14.8% compared with 
the prior year.  Administrative expenses were lower due to a combination of 
staff and expense reductions and increased fee income for services provided by 
the Corporation to others.  Selling expenses benefitted from the elimination of 
services previously provided by the Corporation's air handling group (AHG) 
which was sold in the second quarter of 1993.

Income from operations increased to $1,583,000 in 1994 from $762,000 in 1993.  
The impact of lower sales was more than offset by the improved cost of sales 
relationship and the decline in selling and administrative expenses.

The gain from sale of investment in 1994 of $1,598,000 represents receipt of a 
contingent purchase price from Amersham International PLC (Amersham) arising 
from the 1993 sale of the Corporation's interest in United States Biochemical 
Corporation.  (See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 2).

Interest expense was $51,000 in 1994 compared to $539,000 in 1993.  The 
Corporation prepaid its bank debt in the second quarter of 1993 following the 
sale of the AHG.

Discontinued operations include a gain in 1994 from the partial disposition of 
shares held in Northwestern Steel and Wire Company (Northwestern).  (See Notes 
to Financial Statements - Note 2).  The 1993 income from discontinued 
operations represents the results of the AHG.

As a result of all of the above, the Corporation had net income of $3,579,000 
in 1994 compared to $222,000 in 1993.

The above mentioned labor dispute at Aerofin is unresolved and is expected to 
have some impact, but not a material one, on the second quarter results of the 
Corporation.

Liquidity_and_Capital_Resources

Net cash flow from operating activities was positive in 1994 and 1993 at 
$2,476,000 and $2,389,000, respectively.

The net cash inflow for investing activities in 1994 includes proceeds from the 
sale of Northwestern shares and the contingent purchase price receipt from 
Amersham.

Capital expenditures for 1994 totaled $630,000 compared to $928,000 in 1993.  
The 1993 capital expenditures include payments with respect to the AHG.  
Capital appropriations carried forward from March 31, 1994 total $1,714,000.  
Capital requirements are expected to be financed from funds internally 
generated.

The Corporation maintains short-term lines of credit and a revolving credit 
agreement in excess of the cash needs of its businesses.  The total available 
at March 31, 1994 was $22,000,000.

At March 31, 1994, the Corporation owned 862,831 shares of Northwestern which 
had a market value of $7,658,000.  The Corporation also owned 249,587 shares of 
Amersham which had a market value of $3,951,000.  Subsequent to the end of the 
first quarter, 85,000 shares of Amersham have been sold realizing proceeds of 
$1,335,000 and a gain of $416,000.  The Corporation intends to sell its shares 
in Northwestern and Amersham in an orderly manner, depending on market 
conditions.

With respect to environmental concerns, the Corporation has been named a 
potentially responsible party at several sites by federal, state and local 
authorities.  The Corporation has accrued for costs of remedial actions it 
would likely be required to take.  In addition, the Corporation has provided 
for environmental clean-up costs related to preparing its discontinued business 
facilities for sale.  While it is not possible to quantify with certainty the 
potential of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly any future 
remediation and other compliance efforts, in the opinion of management, 
compliance with the present environmental protection laws will not have a 
material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Corporation.

The nature and scope of the Corporations's business bring it into regular 
contact with a variety of persons, businesses and government agencies in the 
ordinary course of business.  Consequently, the Corporation and its 
subsidiaries from time to time are named in various legal actions.  The 
Corporation does not anticipate that its financial condition will be materially 
affected by the costs of known, pending or threatened litigation.

Item 1       Litigation

             Update to Item 3 of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 
             31, 1993.

             There have been no significant developments in the matters 
             described in Item 3 of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 
             December 31, 1993, except as follows:

             Official_Unsecured_Creditors'_Committee_of_Valley-Vulcan_Mold_
             Company v. Microdot,_Inc.,_Valley_Mould_Corporation,_
             Ampco-Pittsburgh_Corporation_and_Vulcan,_Inc.  On April 4, 1994, 
             the Court entered an order denying all claims against the 
             Corporation including fraudulent conveyance, equitable 
             subordination of the Corporation's liens, preferential transfer 
             and a claim that Ampco is liable for its subsidiaries' debts.  
             Similar claims against Vulcan, Inc., the subsidiary that is the 
             50% partner, were also denied, except for its liability as a 
             general partner.  Vulcan's only asset is its interest in the 
             partnership and accordingly the judgment will not have any adverse 
             effect on the Corporation.  The plaintiff filed an appeal on May 
             3, 1994.
