Item 2.  Disposition of Assets.

On January 17, 1995, the Registrant completed the sale of its Delaval 
Turbine and TurboCare divisions, which comprise substantially all of the 
Registrant's Turbomachinery business segment, and its 50% interest in 
Delaval-Stork, a Dutch joint venture, to Mannesmann Capital Corporation, 
a subsidiary of Mannesmann Demag of Dusseldorf, Germany, for $124 
million in cash. Of this amount, $109 million was received at closing, 
with the remainder earning interest to the Registrant and to be received 
at specified future contract dates.  A portion of the proceeds have been 
used by the Registrant to pay off its domestic senior debt and the 
excess has been invested in short term investments. The transaction, 
which will be reflected in the Registrant's financial statements in the 
first quarter of 1995, will result in an estimated gain of approximately 
$40 million after-tax.

Also reflected in the pro forma adjustments are the effects of the  
January 3, 1995 sale of the Baird Analytical Instruments division to 
Thermo Instrument Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Thermo Electron 
Corporation, for $12.3 million in cash, which was used to reduce its 
domestic senior debt. The loss was previously recognized in connection 
with the net realizable value adjustment on the entire Electro-Optical 
Systems business recorded in 1993. 

The purchase prices were determined on the basis of arms length 
negotiations between the parties.

The Registrant's press releases announcing such information are filed 
herewith as exhibits.


Item 7.   Financial Statements, Pro Forma Information and Exhibits.

(b)   Pro Forma Financial Information:

      IMO INDUSTRIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES PRO FORMA CONDENSED 
      CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1994 and the 
consolidated statement of income for the nine month period then 
ended, as presented in the Registrant's Form 10-Q filed with the 
Commission on November 14, 1994, reflected both the Electro-
Optical Business and the Turbomachinery Business segments as 
discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles 
Board Opinion No. 30 and, are incorporated herein by reference.

The following pro forma condensed consolidated statement of  
income for the year ended December 31, 1993 gives effect to the 
sale of the Registrant's Delaval Turbine and TurboCare divisions 
and its 50% interest in Delaval Stork. The consolidated income 
statement for the year ended December 31, 1993 as filed by the 
Registrant on Form 10-K on March 31, 1994 fully reflected the 
discontinuance of the Company's Electro-Optical Systems Business 
segment of which the Registrant's Baird Analytical Instruments 
division was a part. The adjustments to the pro forma condensed 
consolidated income statements assume that both transactions were 
consummated prior to January 1, 1993.  The closing of the last 
transaction occurred on January 17, 1995.

These pro forma statements are not necessarily indicative of the 
results that actually would have occurred if the sale had been in 
effect as of and for the periods presented or that may be achieved 
in the future.
