necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented.  These statements should be read in

September 30, 1993.  The results of operations for the three-month periods ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
full year.

on a year-to-date basis.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1994 First Quarter Compared to 1993 First Quarter

The contributions to sales and earnings by business segment of the company for
the first quarter of fiscal 1994 and 1993 are presented below.  Operating
earnings of the Graphics segment have been adjusted to include interest income
related to customer financing receivables, previously included in General
Corporate - Net ($2.8 million for the first quarter of 1994 and $4.4 million for
the first quarter of 1993).

                                              Sales              Earnings

                                                   (in millions)

  Electronics......................     $1,184     $1,078   $ 168.9   $ 139.9
  Aerospace........................        610        644      81.7      86.2

     Sales and operating earnings..      2,601      2,489     294.5     256.2
  General corporate - net..........                           (19.8)    (18.8)
  Interest expense.................                           (26.0)    (25.6)
  Provision for income taxes.......                           (99.2)    (84.0)

     Total.........................     $2,601     $2,489   $ 149.5   $ 127.8

Sales in the 1994 first quarter were up five percent from the same period a year
ago principally due to strengthening markets and increased market share of the
Telecommunications and Allen-Bradley Industrial Automation businesses within the
Electronics business segment.  Automotive's Heavy Vehicle business also recorded
increased sales in the 1994 first quarter due to the strong North American truck
markets.  During the quarter, sales of North American trailer axles set an
all-time record at 88,000 units, an increase of 34 percent over 1993's
first quarter.

Net income and earnings per share for 1994's first quarter increased 17 percent
from last year's first quarter.  This marks the fourth consecutive quarter the
company has recorded a double-digit earnings per share increase.

In the current quarter, three of the company's four business segments --
Electronics, Automotive and Graphics -- recorded major earnings increases over
their 1993 first quarter results.  Earnings of the fourth segment, Aerospace,
were also strong, although slightly below last year's first quarter due to an
unfavorable contract adjustment.

Within the business segments, six of the nine business units recorded higher
first quarter earnings, with particularly strong contributions by the
Telecommunications and Allen-Bradley Industrial Automation businesses.  The
Space, Heavy Vehicle, Light Vehicle and Graphics business units also posted
higher 1994 first quarter earnings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Electronics businesses posted record quarterly earnings in 1994's
first quarter, up 21 percent from last year's first quarter, due to substantial
earnings increases in the Telecommunications and Allen-Bradley Industrial
Automation businesses.  Telecommunications earnings for the quarter reached a
record high for any quarter in its history, primarily due to very strong demand
for high speed data modems, while orders of Allen-Bradley's Industrial
Automation business averaged $8.1 million per day in the first quarter, the
highest in its history.  Earnings of both Avionics and Defense Electronics were
six percent below last year's comparable quarter as a result of lower sales
volumes in the defense and commercial airline markets.

Aerospace earnings in 1994's first quarter were down five percent from 1993's
first quarter due to an $11 million cost adjustment on Aircraft's AC-130U
Gunship program.

Automotive's 1994 first quarter earnings increased 34 percent from the
comparable quarter a year ago primarily due to the strong North American truck
markets.

First quarter earnings of the Graphics business were up significantly from
1993's first quarter, continuing the improvement begun in last year's fourth
quarter.  Although worldwide printing press markets remain depressed, Graphics
results are improving due to continuing cost containment actions and the
benefits of its market leadership positions.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

There were no significant changes in the company's financial position during the
three months ended December 31, 1993.

In October 1993, Western Digital Corporation cancelled the previously announced
$115 million sale of its semiconductor wafer plant to the company's
Telecommunications business.  Telecommunications subsequently announced plans to
invest $150 million to establish an 8 inch wafer production capability and to
expand sub-micron wafer fabrication capacity at its Newport Beach, California,
facility.

Information with respect to the effect on the company and its manufacturing
operations of compliance with environmental protection requirements and
resolution of environmental claims is contained under the caption Results of
Operations, Environmental Issues in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, on pages 16 - 17 of the
company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1993, and is incorporated herein by reference.  Management
believes that at December 31, 1993 there has been no material change to this
information.

PART II.OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

       Reference is made to the second paragraph of Item 3, Legal Proceedings,
on pages 8-9 of the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1993, with respect to an action brought in 1990 in the
United States District Court for the District of Colorado by five present or
former employees of the Rocky Flats Plant, Golden, Colorado (the Plant) and
labor organizations representing a few of the Plant's employees against the
company and another former operator of the Plant.  On December 20, 1993, the 
United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit dismissed the motion for
rehearing and suggestion for rehearing en banc of its affirmance in October 1993
of the District Court's judgment dismissing that action.

Item 5.  Other Information

       The company's government contract operations are subject to
U.S. Government investigations of business practices and audits of contract
performance and cost classification from which claims have been or may be
asserted against the company.  Although such claims are usually resolved through
fact-finding and negotiation, civil, criminal or administrative proceedings may
result and a contractor can be fined, as well as be suspended or debarred from
government contracts.  Management believes there are no claims, audits or
investigations currently pending against the company which will have a material
adverse effect on either the company's business or its financial condition.

       The company's financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
conservative estimates, supported by outside legal counsel, of the revenue
expected to be recovered from the company's claims against the U.S. Government
arising out of the government's termination of contracts for its convenience and
certain contractual disputes.  While management cannot reasonably estimate the
length of time that will be required to resolve its claims or whether they will
be resolved through negotiation or litigation, it believes their resolution will
not have a material adverse effect on the company's financial statements.
