                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts
                           _______________________


1.  Management Representation

    In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited 
    consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments 
    (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present 
    fairly the financial position as of December 31, 1996, the results 
    of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 1996 
    and 1995 and cash flows for the six months then ended.


2.  Earnings per share

    Primary earnings per share are computed using the weighted average 
    number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents 
    outstanding during the period.  Fully diluted earnings per share are 
    not presented because such dilution is not material.

    The Board of Directors has reaffirmed the repurchase, from time to 
    time, of up to 2.8 million shares of the Company's common stock on 
    the open market, at prevailing prices. The repurchase will be funded 
    from operating cash flows and the shares will initially be held as 
    treasury stock. The Company purchased 102,000 shares of its common 
    stock at an average price of $37.48 during the three-month period 
    ended September 30, 1996. No further purchases occurred during the 
    three-month period ended December 31, 1996. 


3.  Acquisitions

    On February 3, 1997, following receipt of Mexican government approval, the 
    Company purchased Hydroflex S.A. de C.V, a leading Mexican manufacturer of 
    hydraulic hose, fittings and adapters located in Toluca, Mexico for 
    approximately $9.2 million cash. Annual sales for this operation for the 
    most recent year prior to acquisition were approximately $11 million. 

    On September 5, 1996 the Company purchased the assets of the 
    industrial hydraulic product line of Hydraulik-Ring AG, of 
    Nurtingen, Germany, for approximately $17 million cash. Annual sales 
    for this operation for the most recent year prior to acquisition 
    were approximately $31 million. 

    Both acquisitions are being accounted for by the purchase method.


4.  Contingencies

    In November 1996 a jury verdict was rendered against the Company in 
    connection with the termination of ASI Marine Industrial as a 
    Company distributor. The verdict against the Company included $1.6 
    million in compensatory damages and $6.0 million in punitive 
    damages. The Company intends to seek a new trial on all issues and 
    believes that substantial grounds exist for the punitive damages, at a 
    minimum, to be reversed on appeal. In the opinion of management, the 
    ultimate liability with respect to this litigation, will not have a 
    material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or 
    financial position of the Company.

                               FORM 10-Q
                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
            AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995



CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME 

Net sales increased 17.6 percent for the second quarter and 16.0 percent 
for the six-month period ended December 31, 1996.  Without the effect of 
acquisitions the increases would have been 5.7 percent and 5.0 percent, 
respectively. Revenue growth is occurring in all segments of the 
business, with the Aerospace operations achieving significant gains. 

Income from operations was $88.7 million for the current second quarter 
and $179.1 million for the current six months, an increase of 8.6 percent 
for the quarter and .9 percent for the six months.  As a percent of 
sales, Income from operations decreased to 9.2 percent from 9.9 percent 
for the quarter and 9.3 percent from 10.7 percent for the six months.  
Cost of sales as a percent of sales increased to 78.5 percent from 77.8 
percent for the quarter and 78.6 percent from 77.4 percent for the six-
month period. The decline in gross profit is partially due to lower 
margins achieved by newly acquired operations, but is also the result of 
lower volume, and therefore lower absorption of fixed costs, within 
certain businesses in Europe. Selling, general and administrative 
expenses, as a percent of sales, remained steady for both the three and 
six month periods.

Interest expense increased $4.7 million for the quarter and $9.0 million 
for the six months ended December 31, 1996, compared to the same periods 
ended December 31, 1995, due to the increased borrowings incurred to 
complete recent acquisitions.

Interest and other income for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 
includes $17.1 million income from the sale of real estate in California. 
This income was substantially offset by $13.3 million accrued for exit 
costs and charges for impaired assets related to the relocation of the 
corporate headquarters.

Net income increased 8.6 percent for the quarter, but decreased 2.0 
percent for the half, as compared to the prior year. As a percent of 
sales, Net income decreased to 5.4 percent from 5.9 percent for the 
quarter and to 5.4 percent from 6.4 percent for the six months. 

Backlog increased to $1.4 billion at December 31, 1996 as compared to 
$1.0 billion the prior year and $1.3 billion at June 30, 1996.  A 
majority of the increase in backlog over the prior year was due to 
acquisitions, while the remaining increase was the result of growth 
within the Aerospace Segment.


BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION BY INDUSTRY

INDUSTRIAL - The Industrial Segment operations achieved the following Net 
sales increases in the current year when compared to the equivalent 
prior-year period:

Without the effect of currency-rate changes, International sales would 
have increased over 20 percent for the quarter and 18 percent for the six 
months.  Without the effect of acquisitions completed within the past 12 
months, the fluctuations in Net sales would have been:

     Industrial North America            6.1  %           5.1  %
     Industrial International           (1.3) %          (0.6) %
     Total Industrial                    3.7  %           3.2  %

Operating income for the Industrial Segment was down 1.0 percent for the 
quarter and 4.8 percent for the six months. Industrial North American 
Operating income increased 11.0 percent for the quarter and 6.8 percent 
for the six months while Industrial International results decreased 44.5 
percent for the quarter and 42.9 percent for the six months. Without the 
effect of acquisitions the total Industrial Segment Operating income 
would have remained relatively flat for the quarter and would have 
decreased 4.2 percent for the six months.  As a percent of sales, 
Industrial North American Operating income increased to 13.3 percent from 
12.9 percent for the quarter and remained at 13.5 percent for the six 
months.  Industrial International Operating income decreased to 3.5 
percent from 7.3 percent for the quarter, and 4.2 percent from 8.5 
percent for the six months.  

On balance, North American Industrial markets remain healthy. Demand for 
products from industries such as factory automation, agricultural and 
construction equipment, and for electromagnetic interference-prevention 
products offset slowness in sales of components to large-truck and 
semiconductor manufacturers. International earnings were affected by 
continued weak demand in Europe, resulting in lower capacity utilization 
and reduced operating margins. The International operations experienced 
lower-than-anticipated results from several European operations, 
including VOAC, an acquisition within the industrial hydraulics business. 
VOAC was faced with a sharp decline in demand for some of its products, 
due to recessionary conditions in the forest and pulp and paper 
industries. Sales volume within the Asia Pacific and Latin American 
operations remains encouraging.

Total Industrial Segment backlog increased 9.7 percent compared to 
December 31, 1995 and 5.5 percent since June 30, 1996. The increase from 
the prior year is primarily the result of acquisitions, while the growth 
since June 30 is internal to the North American operations.

Management expects continuing favorable economic conditions in North 
America and Asia Pacific, a gradual recovery in Europe and a continuation 
of recent improvement in selective countries in Latin America during the 
second half of the fiscal year.

AEROSPACE - Aerospace Segment Net sales were up 53.3 percent for the 
quarter and 49.0 percent for the six months. Without the effect of the 
Abex acquisition the increases would have been 16.0 percent and 12.6 
percent, respectively. The spares, repair and overhaul business and 
commercial original equipment manufacturer market continue to contribute 
to increased growth and profitability within Aerospace. 

Operating income for the Aerospace Segment increased 48.3 percent for the 
quarter and 30.4 percent for the six-month period.  As a percent of sales 
Operating income declined to 12.3 percent from 12.7 percent for the 
quarter and to 11.5 percent from 13.1 percent for the six-month period.  
The decrease in margins was primarily the result of lower margins 
contributed by the Abex acquisition. Plans have been announced to 
consolidate these operations to strive for more cost-effective 
manufacturing and administrative functions.

The Aerospace markets are expected to continue to grow through the second 
half of the fiscal year. Backlog for the Aerospace Segment increased 56.3 
percent from December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of the Abex 
acquisition, and increased 4.1 percent since June 30, 1996.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

Working capital increased to $691.2 million at December 31, 1996 from 
$635.2 million at June 30, 1996 with the ratio of current assets to 
current liabilities increasing slightly to 2.0 to 1. The increase was 
primarily due to decreases in Accounts payable, trade and Notes payable, 
partially offset by decreases in Cash and Accounts receivable, net.

Accounts receivable were lower on December 31, 1996 than on June 30, 1996 
primarily due to the lower level of sales in the month of December as a 
result of the holidays. The December 31, 1996 Accounts receivable balance 
also includes a noncash receivable of $21.5 million related to a 
transaction the Company entered into in December 1996 to sell real estate 
in California. The proceeds from the sale will be used in a Section 1031 
tax-free exchange for the new corporate headquarters. 

Accounts payable, trade decreased $44.5 million since June 30, 1996 with 
the reduction occurring consistently throughout the operations. A portion 
of the decrease was the result of lower production in the month of 
December.

The debt to debt-equity ratio decreased to 28.2 percent at December 31, 
1996 from 30.7 percent at June 30, 1996 as a result of decreases in both 
Notes payable and Long-term debt.  


CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities was $155.5 million for the six 
months ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $110.7 million for the 
same six months in 1995. Net income for fiscal 1997 included noncash 
Depreciation and Amortization expenses of $88.0 million as compared to 
$68.7 million in fiscal 1996. Net income for fiscal 1997 also included a 
net gain on sale of plant and equipment of $10.9 million compared to a 
gain of less than $.1 million in fiscal 1996. 

The principal working capital items - Accounts receivable, Inventories, 
and Accounts payable, trade - used cash of $10.6 million in fiscal 1997 
compared to $32.3 million in fiscal 1996. An increase in Other accrued 
liabilities provided cash of $18.1 million in fiscal 1997 as compared to 
$5.7 in fiscal 1996. Pensions and other postretirement benefits provided 
cash of $5.8 million in fiscal 1997 compared to using cash of $5.4 
million in the same period for fiscal 1996. 

Net cash used in investing activities was relatively the same for the six 
months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. Capital expenditures were $17.6 
million lower in fiscal 1997, but this decrease was partially offset by 
an increase in cash used for Other investing activities. This increase is 
due to cash placed in an escrow account pending Mexican government 
approval of an acquisition.

Financing activities used cash of $68.6 million for the six months ended 
December 31, 1996 compared to providing cash of $9.1 million for the same 
period in 1995. Payments of Notes payable were $27.8 million in fiscal 
1997 while proceeds from Notes payable were $39.8 million in fiscal 1996.
