      This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends the
Schedule 13D initially filed on December 30, 1996 (collectively,
with all amendments thereto, the "Schedule 13D").

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

      Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by
the following:    
      The net investment cost (including commissions) is
$250,840 for the 41,400 Shares acquired by FCP
since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D, $259,032 for
the 42,500 Shares acquired by FCIP since the
filing of the prior Schedule 13D, $46,270 for the
7,400 Shares acquired by FCIP II since the filing of
the prior Schedule 13D, $22,758 for the 3,700
Shares acquired by FCIP III since the filing
of the prior Schedule 13D, $46,646 for the 7,400 Shares 
acquired by Tinicum since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D 
and $105,831 for the 20,000 Shares acquired by the
Managed Accounts since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D. 
 
     The consideration for such acquisitions was obtained
as follows: (i) with respect to FCIP, FCIP II, and FCIP
III from working capital; (ii) with respect to the
Managed Accounts, from the working capital of each 
Managed Account and/or from borrowings pursuant to margin
accounts maintained by some of the Managed Accounts at
Goldman Sachs & Co.; and (iii) with respect to FCP and
Tinicum, from working capital, from borrowings pursuant
to margin accounts maintained by FCP and Tinicum at
Goldman Sachs & Co. and/or from borrowings pursuant to
separate revolving credit agreements entered into by each
of FCP and Tinicum with ING (U.S.) Capital Corporation.

     FCP, Tinicum  and some of the Managed Accounts hold 
certain securities in their respective margin accounts at
Goldman Sachs & Co., and the accounts may from time 
to
