               This statement is the eighth Amendment to a statement on
     Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by
     members of a group that currently consist of Field Point Capital
     Management Company ("Field Point") and Mr. G.S. Beckwith Gilbert
     relating to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common
     Stock"), of Gleason Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
     "Company").


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

               (a)  As of June 12, 1995, the Reporting Persons beneficially
     owned the following number of shares of the Common Stock (the
     approximate percentage of the shares of Common Stock owned as
     indicated in parenthesis below is based on 5,168,833 shares of Common
     Stock outstanding as of March 31, 1995 as set forth in the Company's
     Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1995).

               (i)  Mr. Gilbert owned 219,100 shares of the Common Stock
          (4.24%).  By virtue of his ownership of all of the outstanding
          stock of Field Point, Mr. Gilbert may be deemed for the purposes
          of this Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D to be the beneficial
          owner of the 1,000 shares of Common Stock (.02%) owned by Field
          Point.

               (ii)  Field Point owned 1,000 shares of the Common Stock
          (.02%).


               (b)  Field Point and Mr. Gilbert, by virtue of his ownership
     of all of the outstanding stock of Field Point, share sole power to
     vote or to direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to direct the
     disposition of the shares of Common Stock owned by Field Point.  Mr.
     Gilbert has sole power to vote or to direct the vote and sole power to
     dispose or to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock of
     which he has direct beneficial ownership.  In accordance with Rule
     13d-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each
     Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of
     Common Stock owned beneficially by the other Reporting Person.

               (c)  Except as set forth below, none of the Reporting
     Persons has purchased or sold shares of Common Stock during the past
     60 days.  The following transactions were all effected on the New York
     Stock Exchange:
