     The Schedule 13D, initially filed on October 3, 1989, as
amended, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety by this
Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D as follows:

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

     This statement relates to the common stock, par value $.10
per share (the "Common Stock"), issued by Graham Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), whose principal executive
offices are 20 Florence Avenue, Batavia, New York 14020.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

inquiry to the appropriate party. 

     The general partners of EGS Associates, EGS Partners, Bev
Partners, and Jonas Partners are William Ehrman, Frederic
Greenberg, Frederick Ketcher, and Jonas Gerstl (collectively, the
"General Partners").  Mr. Salvatore DiFranco resigned from EGS
Associates, L.P., EGS Partners, L.P., Bev Partners, L.P., and
Jonas Partners, L.P. as general partner, effective October 31,
1994, and is therefore no longer a reporting person.

     (b)  The address of the principal business and principal
office of (i) EGS Associates, EGS Partners, Bev Partners, Jonas
Partners, and each of the General Partners is 300 Park Avenue,
New York, New York 10022 and (ii) EGS Overseas is CITCO Building,
Wickhams Cay, P.O. Box 662, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin
Islands.

     (c)  The principal business of each of EGS Associates, EGS
Overseas, Bev Partners and Jonas Partners is that of a private
investment firm, engaging in the purchase and sale of securities
for investment for its own account.  The principal business of
EGS Partners is that of  a registered investment adviser under
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, engaging in the
purchase and sale of securities for investment on behalf of
discretionary accounts and EGS Overseas.  The present principal
occupations of the General Partners are as general partners of
EGS Associates, EGS Partners, Bev Partners, and Jonas Partners. 

     (d)  None of the persons referred to in paragraph (a) above
has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors).

     (e)  None of the persons referred to in paragraph (a) above
has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject
to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations
of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.

     (f)  Each of the individuals referred to in paragraph (a)
above is a United States citizen.  EGS Associates, EGS Partners,
Bev Partners, and Jonas Partners are Delaware limited
partnerships.  EGS Overseas is a British Virgin Islands
corporation.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
- ------   -------------------------------------------------

     The net investment cost (including commissions, if any) of
the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by EGS Associates,
EGS Partners (exclusive of shares beneficially owned by EGS
Overseas), EGS Overseas, Bev Partners and Jonas Partners is
approximately $437,275, $346,524, $136,841, $368,882 and $75,723,
respectively.

     The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of
the shares of Common Stock purchased by Mr. Ehrman, and by
members of his immediate family, is approximately $51,563.

     The shares of Common Stock purchased by each of EGS
Associates, EGS Overseas, Bev Partners, and Jonas Partners were
purchased with the investment capital of the respective entities
and with the investment capital of each discretionary account
under management of EGS Partners.  The shares of Common Stock
purchased by Mr. Ehrman, and members of his immediate family,
were purchased with personal funds.

     Messrs. Greenberg, Ketcher, and Gerstl made no acquisitions
of Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 9 to the
Schedule 13D.

     The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of EGS
Associates, EGS Partners (excluding EGS Overseas), EGS Overseas,
Bev Partners and Jonas Partners are held in their respective
commingled margin accounts, or in the case of EGS Partners, in
margin accounts held by each discretionary account under its
management.  Such margin accounts are maintained at Bear Stearns
& Co. Inc., and may from time to time have debit balances.  The
shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Ehrman are held in margin
accounts maintained at Bear Stearns & Co., Inc. or Bishop Rosen
Corporation, or are beneficially owned by members of his
immediate family.  Since other securities are held in such margin
accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of
margin used with respect to the shares of Common Stock purchased. 
Currently, the interest rate charged on such various margin
accounts is approximately 6.5% per annum.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
- ------   ----------------------

     The purpose of the acquisition of the shares of the Common
Stock by the Reporting Persons is for investment.  Each may make
further purchases of the Common Stock from time to time and may
dispose of any or all of the shares of the Common Stock held by
it or him at any time.  None of the Reporting Persons has any
plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of
the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive,
of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Such entities and persons may, at any
time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position
with respect to the Company, and formulate plans or proposals
with respect to any of such matters, but have no present
intention of doing so.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
- ------   ------------------------------------

     (a)  The approximate aggregate percentage of shares of
Common Stock reported beneficially owned by each person herein is
based upon 1,051,499 shares outstanding, which is the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 11,
1994, as reflected in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 (which is
the most recent Form 10-Q on file.)

     As of the close of business on January 27, 1995:

     (i)  EGS Associates owns beneficially 27,274 shares of
Common Stock, constituting approximately 2.59% of the shares
outstanding.

     (ii)  EGS Partners owns directly no shares of Common Stock. 
By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), EGS Partners may be
deemed to own beneficially 22,958 shares of Common Stock
purchased for discretionary accounts managed by it, other than
EGS Overseas, and the 10,057 shares of Common Stock purchased for
EGS Overseas, which when aggregated total 33,015 shares of Common
Stock, constituting approximately 3.14% of the shares
outstanding.

     (iii)  Bev Partners owns beneficially 21,311 shares of
Common Stock, constituting approximately 2.03% of the shares
outstanding.

     (iv)  Jonas Partners owns beneficially 5,900 shares of
Common Stock, constituting less than 1% of the shares
outstanding.

     (v)  Mr. Ehrman owns directly, and beneficially through
ownership by members of his immediate family, 6,500 shares of
Common Stock, constituting less than 1% of the shares
outstanding.

     (vi)  Messrs. Ketcher, Greenberg and Gerstl own directly no
shares of Common Stock.

     By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, each
of the General Partners may be deemed to own beneficially the
27,274 shares of Common Stock owned by EGS Associates, the 33,015
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by EGS Partners,
through EGS Overseas and discretionary accounts managed by it,
the 21,311 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Bev
Partners and the 5,900 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by Jonas Partners.  When the shares beneficially owned by EGS
Associates, EGS Partners, Bev Partners and Jonas Partners are
aggregated, they total 87,500 shares of Common Stock,
constituting approximately 8.32% of the shares outstanding.

     (vii)  In the aggregate, the Reporting Person beneficially
own a total of 94,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting
approximately 8.94% of the shares outstanding.

     (b) (i)  Each of EGS Associates, EGS Partners (with respect
to shares of EGS Overseas and other discretionary accounts), Bev
Partners, and Jonas Partners has the power to vote and to dispose
of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it, which
power may be exercised by the General Partners.  Each of EGS
Overseas and the discretionary accounts is a party to an
investment management agreement with EGS Partners pursuant to
which EGS Partners has investment authority with respect to
securities held in such account.

          (ii)  Mr. Ehrman has the sole power to vote and to
dispose of the 3,200 shares of Common Stock owned by him, and
shared power, with members of his immediate family, to vote and
dispose of 3,300 shares of Common Stock owned by members of his
immediate family.

     (c)  The trading dates, number of shares of Common Stock
sold and price per share for all transactions in the Common Stock
from the 60th day prior to January 26, 1995 through January 27,
1995, by EGS Associates, EGS Partners (excluding EGS Overseas),
EGS Overseas, and Bev Partners are set forth in Schedules A, B,
C, and D, respectively.  All such transactions were open market
transactions and were effected on the American Stock Exchange. 
During such period no other Reporting Person effected any
transactions in the Common Stock.

     (d)  No person other than each respective record owner
referred to herein of shares of Common Stock is known to have the
right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends
from or the proceeds of sale of such shares of Common Stock.

     (e)  Mr. Salvatore DiFranco resigned from EGS Associates,
L.P., EGS Partners, L.P., Bev Partners, L.P., and Jonas Partners,
L.P. as general partner, effective October 31, 1994, and is
therefore no longer a reporting person.

         with respect to Securities of the Issuer.
         --------------------------------------------------------

     There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
