Item 1.  Security and Issuer
         -------------------
 
     Common stock, $1.00 par value, of Baker Hughes Incorporated, 3900 Essex
Lane, Houston, Texas 77027-5177 ("Baker Hughes").

Item 2.  Identity and Background
         -----------------------

     The persons filing this Schedule 13D are:

     (1)  Unitrin, Inc., One East Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60601
          ("Unitrin"), a Delaware corporation whose principal activity is
          holding the stock of insurance and consumer finance subsidiaries.

          For additional information concerning the directors and executive
          officers of Unitrin, see Exhibit A.

     (2)  Trinity Universal Insurance Company, 10000 North Central Expressway,
          Dallas, Texas, 75231 ("Trinity"), a Texas corporation primarily
          engaged in the business of underwriting property and casualty
          insurance. Trinity is a wholly owned subsidiary of Unitrin.

          For additional information concerning the directors and executive
          officers of Trinity, see Exhibit B.
     
     No filing person has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) during the past five years; nor, to
the best knowledge and belief of the filing persons, has anyone listed in the
attached exhibits been convicted in any such proceedings.

     No filing person, and to the best knowledge and belief of the filing
persons, no person listed on the attached exhibits, was a party during the past
five years 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.

     United Insurance Company of America, One East Wacker Drive, Chicago,
Illinois, 60601 ("United"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Unitrin. As
described in Items 3 and 5 below, United also owns shares of Baker Hughes.
However, due to the fact that United's beneficial ownership is less than 5% of
the outstanding Baker Hughes common stock, United is not required to file a
Schedule 13D with respect to its holdings and is not a joint filer of this
Schedule 13D.

CUSIP No. 057224107                                           Page 5 of 10 Pages

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

     Trinity and United were shareholders of Western Atlas Inc. ("Western
Atlas"). On August 10, 1998, Western Atlas was acquired by Baker Hughes in a
merger transaction in which each outstanding share of Western Atlas was
converted into 2.7 shares of Baker Hughes common stock. As a result, Trinity and
United received 2.7 shares of Baker Hughes for each share they held in Western
Atlas. No separate consideration was paid by Trinity or United for the Baker
Hughes shares reported hereby.

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

     The filing persons have no plans or proposals which relate to Items 4(a)
through 4(j) of Schedule 13D. Future investment considerations by the filing
persons might or might not result in the acquisition of additional securities of
Baker Hughes or the disposition of securities of Baker Hughes.

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

     (a)  The aggregate number and percentage of the shares of Baker Hughes
          common stock beneficially owned directly by Trinity is set forth in
          the cover page to this Schedule 13D. United beneficially owns directly
          14,717,668 shares of Baker Hughes constituting approximately 4.6% of
          the outstanding shares of Baker Hughes. As the parent company of
          Trinity and United, Unitrin may also be deemed to be a beneficial
          owner of shares of Baker Hughes owned by Trinity and United. The
          number and percentage of Baker Hughes common stock with respect to
          Unitrin are also set forth in the cover page.

     (b)  Trinity and United each share with Unitrin voting and dispositive
          powers over the shares held by them, respectively.

     (c)  Except for the acquisition of the Baker Hughes common stock pursuant
          to the merger transaction described in Item 3 above, neither the
          filing companies nor United have had any transactions in the common
          stock of Baker Hughes.

     (d)  No person, other than the filing persons or United, has the right to
          receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the
          proceeds from the sale of, the security listed on the cover page.

Item 6.    Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
           ---------------------------------------------------------------------
           to Securities of Issuer
           -----------------------

     See Item 5 above.

Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits
          --------------------------------

          The following documents are attached as exhibits to this Schedule 13D:
