            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (in thousands)



1.The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated condensed  financial  statements
  have  been  prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q  and,
  accordingly,  these  footnotes  condense or omit  certain  information  and
  disclosures  normally  included in financial statements.   These  financial
  statements,  which  in  the opinion of management reflect  all  adjustments
  necessary for a fair presentation, should be read in conjunction  with  the
  financial  statements  and notes thereto included in the  Company's  Annual
  Report   on  Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1994.    The
  accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements are  not
  necessarily  indicative  of future trends or the Company's  operations  for
  the entire year.

2.As  discussed  in  footnote F to the December 31, 1994 annual  report,  the
  cumulative  unrealized loss on the Company's foreign currency  Yen  and  DM
  swaps  of $9,327 at December 31, 1994 was recorded as a reduction in  other
  assets in the Company's December 31, 1994 consolidated balance sheet.

  The  Company's DM swap expired on March 31, 1995.  The Company paid  $3,546
  in  cash  to  close  out  the  swap.   The  cash  payment  represented  the
  cumulative effect of the foreign currency rate fluctuations over  the  life
  of the swap.

  The  cumulative  unrealized  loss on the Company's  Yen  currency  swap  of
  $17,768  at  March 31, 1995 is recorded in long-term debt in the  Company's
  unaudited  March  31,  1995 consolidated balance sheet.   Accordingly,  the
  cumulative  unrealized loss of $9,327 at December 31,  1994,  as  discussed
  above,  has  been reclassified to long-term debt in the December  31,  1994
  consolidated balance sheet to conform to the 1995 presentation.

3.Depreciation  on property, plant and equipment acquired before  January  1,
  1989  generally  is provided using accelerated methods over  the  estimated
  useful  lives  of  the  assets.   Assets acquired  after  January  1,  1989
  primarily  are  depreciated  using straight-line  methods.   The  estimated
  useful lives of the Company's depreciable assets are as follows:

              Leasehold Improvements   Life of the Lease
              Buildings and Improvements 10-30 Years
              Production and Other Equipment  3-15 Years

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Consolidated  net  sales increased 19 percent in the first  quarter  of  1995
compared  to  the  first  quarter of 1994; led by a 53  percent  increase  in
worldwide  sales to customers in the electronics / industrial market.   Sales
to  biotechnology / pharmaceutical customers increased 8 percent in the first
quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994.  Sales growth  in  the
first  quarter  was broadbased across all geographies, as summarized  in  the
following table:

                Sales growth rates          Sales growth rates
            measured in local currencies  measured in U.S. dollars

Americas               13%                        11%
Europe                  5%                        17%
Asia/Pacific           18%                        30%
  Consolidated         12%                        19%

Foreign  currency  rate fluctuations, specifically the strengthening  of  the
Yen, French Franc, and German Deutsch Mark against the U.S. dollar, increased
reported sales growth by 7 percent in the first quarter of 1995.

Gross margins increased in the first quarter of 1995 to 58.6 percent of sales
as  compared to 56.9 percent in the first quarter of 1994. The improvement in
gross  margins is primarily due to significantly increased production  volume
in  the  Company's electronics / industrial plants as well as continued  cost
control activities in all of the Company's manufacturing operations.

Selling,  general  and administrative expenses increased 20  percent  in  the
first  quarter  of  1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994,  an  increase
consistent with sales growth.  The Company continued to invest in  sales  and
marketing  programs to support future sales growth.  Research and development
expenses  in the first quarter of 1995 were essentially flat with  the  first
quarter  of  1994, as the Company continued to fund all major programs.   Net
interest  expense  in the first quarter was higher in 1995 compared  to  1994
primarily due to increased short-term borrowings during the first quarter  of
1995.   The  Company's effective income tax rate for 1995  is  22.5  percent,
consistent with the full year effective rate in 1994.

A  substantial portion of the Company's business is conducted outside of  the
United States through its foreign subsidiaries.  This exposes the Company  to
risks associated with foreign currency rate fluctuations which can impact the
Company's  revenue  and  net income.  To partially mitigate  this  risk,  the
Company  has  entered into foreign currency transactions,  primarily  forward
exchange  contracts to sell Yen, on a continuing basis in amounts and  timing
consistent with the underlying currency exposure so that the gain  or  losses
on  these transactions offset gains or losses on the underlying exposure.  In
the  first  quarter of 1995, a loss of $470K was realized  on  the  Company's
forward  exchange contracts and was recorded in cost of sales.   The  Company
does not engage in any speculative trading activity.

The Company generated $12.5 million of cash from continuing operations in the
first  quarter of 1995 compared to $7.1 million in the first quarter of 1994,
primarily  due to increased net income in the first quarter of 1995  compared
to  the first quarter of 1994.  Property, plant and equipment expenditures in
the first quarter of 1995 were significantly higher than in the first quarter
of  1994.  The Company expects future 1995 quarterly capital expenditures  to
be  in  line  with those of the first quarter.  During the first  quarter  of
1995,  the  Company spent $36.4 million to re-purchase shares of  its  common
stock.  Of this amount, $22 million was spent to close out the Company's $100
million  share  repurchase program announced in the fourth quarter  of  1994.
In  the  first  quarter  of 1995, the Company announced  plans  to  spend  an
additional  $50  million  on open market share repurchases  and  spent  $14.4
million  in  share repurchases.  The $36.4 million spent on share repurchases
in  the  first  quarter  of 1995 was funded by short-term  borrowings,  which
increased  by  $37.9 million in the first quarter.  The Company expects  that
further  1995  share  repurchases will be funded by cash generated  from  its
operations.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Cash spent on discontinued operations in the first quarter of 1995 was in
line with the Company's expectations.  The Company expects further quarterly
1995 cash expenditures related to its discontinued operations to be lower
than those of the first quarter.
