CUSIP NO. 553076100

     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D Statement is filed on behalf of The
Hawk Group of Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Hawk") that is
successor by merger to The Hawk Group of Companies, Inc., an Ohio corporation,
for the purpose of reporting that the proxies relating to the common shares,
$0.01 par value, (the "Stock") of MLX Corp., a Georgia corporation ("MLX"),
previously granted in favor of Hawk expired in accordance with their terms.

Item 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     (a) and (b)    As previously reported, Hawk acquired the proxies in
connection with that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale of the Capital
Stock of S.K. Wellman Limited, Inc., dated April 10, 1995, between MLX and Hawk
(as the same may be amended from time to time, the "Agreement").  S.K. Wellman
Limited, Inc., was a wholly-owned subsidiary of MLX.  Pursuant to the terms of
the Agreement, Hawk was granted the proxies authorizing certain representatives
of Hawk, on behalf of Hawk, to vote the shares of Stock beneficially owned by
Hawk in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.  The MLX
shareholders meeting was held on June 27, 1995.  The transactions contemplated
by the Agreement were approved by the shareholders at that meeting, and the
transactions were closed on June 30, 1995.  Therefore, the proxies have expired
by their terms, and Hawk does not beneficially own any shares of Stock.

     (e)  On June 30, 1995, Hawk ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than
five percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Stock.
