          This  Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this  "Amendment No. 2") amends
and  supplements  the  Schedule  13D  filed  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  on  December  31,  1998 (the  "Original  13D"),  and as  amended  by
Amendment  No. 1, dated  October 6, 1999  ("13D  Amendment  No. 1") on behalf of
Andlinger Capital XIII LLC ("Andlinger Capital"),  Gerhard R. Andlinger, Stephen
A.  Magida,  Charles  E. Ball and John P.  Kehoe (the  "Schedule  13D  Filing").
Capitalized  terms used  herein  without  definition  shall have the  respective
meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D Filing, as heretofore amended.


Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration

     On December 17, 1999 Gerhard R. Andlinger executed a Transfer instrument, a
copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to this  Amendment  No. 2,  providing
for the transfer of his interest in Andlinger  Capital to Stephen A. Magida,  as
trustee under the Gerhard R. Andlinger  Intangible Asset Management Trust, dated
as of December  29, 1997 (the  "Trust").  On or about  December  17,  1999,  Mr.
Andlinger  also  transferred   171,465  shares  of  Common  Stock  held  by  him
individually to the Trust. The transfers were effected for no consideration. The
interest in Andlinger  Capital  transferred by Gerhard R. Andlinger to the Trust
included the right to direct the voting and  disposition of the shares of Common
Stock held by  Andlinger  Capital  (including  shares which might be issued upon
exercise  of the  Warrant  held by  Andlinger  Capital).  Under the terms of the
Trust, Mr. Magida,  as trustee,  is granted  authority which includes direct and
indirect voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock
and  Warrants  held or to be held by Andlinger  Capital,  as well as the 171,465
shares of Common Stock  previously  held by Gerhard R. Andlinger and transferred
to the Trust. Mr. Andlinger is the sole beneficiary under the Trust.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         The  transfer  was  effected  to  accomplish  personal  estate  and tax
planning  objectives of Mr. Andlinger.  At this time, the Reporting Persons have
no present intention of acquiring additional shares of the Issuer, although each
Reporting  Person reserves the right to make  additional  purchases from time to
time. Any decision to make such additional  purchases will depend,  however,  on
various factors,  including,  without limitation, the price of the common stock,
stock market conditions and the business  prospects of the Issuer. The Reporting
Persons,  individually or as a group,  have no present intention or arrangements
or understandings  to effect any of the transactions  listed in Item 4(a)-(j) of
Schedule 13D. Certain of the Reporting  Persons are directors and/or officers of
the Issuer, and may in the exercise of their duties as officers and/or directors
of the Issuer, from time to time, consider one or more of such transactions.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER


         Based on the  Issuer's  Quarterly  Report  filed  on Form  10-Q for the
period ended June 30, 1999, there are issued and outstanding  10,210,034  shares
of  Common  Stock.  In  his  capacity  as  trustee  of  the  Trust,  Mr.  Magida
beneficially  owns and has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of, and the
sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of,  4,171,465  shares of Common
Stock consisting of 4,000,000  shares of Common Stock held by Andlinger  Capital
(of which 1,000,000  shares are  attributable to the unexercised  portion of the
Warrants) and 171,465 shares of Common Stock  previously  held by Mr.  Andlinger
individually.  Mr. Magida,  in his


                                     - 8 -

capacity as manager of Andlinger Capital also has shared power to vote or direct
the vote of, and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of, 4,000,000
of such shares of Common  Stock held by  Andlinger  Capital (of which  1,000,000
shares  are  attributable  to  the  unexercised  portion  of the  Warrants).  In
addition,  Mr. Magida beneficially owns and has the sole power to vote or direct
the vote of, and the sole power to dispose or direct the  disposition of, 28,000
shares of Common Stock held by Mr.  Magida as trustee of the trusts  referred to
in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D Filing,  which together with the 4,171,465  shares
set  forth in the  second  sentence  of this  Item 5 of this  Amendment  No.  2,
represents 37.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including
as outstanding for determining  such percentage  shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the unexercised portion of the Warrants ).


          Mr.  Andlinger,  in  his  capacity  as a  controlling  person  of  ANC
Management  Corp.  beneficially  owns and has shared power to vote or direct the
vote of, and shared  power to dispose  or direct  the  disposition  of,  100,000
shares  of  Common  Stock  attributable  to the  Options  (as  described  in 13D
Amendment  No. 1),  representing  1.0% of the issued and  outstanding  shares of
Common Stock (including as outstanding for determining  such percentage,  shares
of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon  exercise  of the  Options).  By virtue of Mr.
Andlinger's  relationship  with the trustee of the Trust, Mr. Andlinger could be
deemed  to be a  beneficial  owner  (within  the  meaning  of Rule  13d-3 of the
Securities  and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of 4,171,465  shares of Common
Stock held by the Trust.  Nothing in this Schedule 13D Filing shall be deemed an
admission that Gerhard R. Andlinger is the beneficial  owner of 4,171,465 shares
of Common Stock held by the Trust.
