              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  April 2, 1995

                                   (Unaudited)

   1. Basis of Presentation 

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
      have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
      to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do
      not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
      accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In
      the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
      recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
      been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended
      April 2, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
      be expected for the year ended December 31, 1995.  For further
      information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
      footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
      for the year ended December 31, 1994.

      The Company is organized into four major operating groups:  Automation
      Technology, Integrated Automation, Automation Measurement and Control,
      and European Operations.  The Automation Technology Group is
      responsible for the manufacture of cellular and smart manufacturing
      systems, automated standalone machine tools, tooling and fixtures, and
      remanufacturing.  The Integrated Automation Group produces assembly
      automation products and systems and flexible transfer lines. 
      Programmable industrial computers, servo systems, controls, and
      measurement products are offered by the Automation Measurement and
      Control Group.  The European Operations Group offers the Company's
      complete product lines through its sales, engineering, manufacturing,
      and service facilities in England and Germany.

   3.  Contingencies

       The Company is involved in various environmental matters, including
       matters in which the Company and certain of its subsidiaries or
       alleged predecessors have been named as potentially responsible
       parties under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation
       and Liability Act (CERCLA).  These matters include a soil and water
       contamination matter at its former West Allis, Wisconsin, facility. 
       In 1992, the Company was notified by the Wisconsin Department of
       Natural Resources (WDNR) of contamination at the West Allis site.  In
       1994, the Company sold most of the site, including the manufacturing
       facility.  The Company is currently implementing a WDNR approved
       clean-up plan on the portion of the site that was not sold.

       The Company has established accruals ($12.0 million and $13.8 million
       at April 2, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively) for all
       environmental contingencies of which management is currently aware in
       accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  In
       establishing these accruals, management considered (a) reports of
       environmental consultants retained by the Company, (b) the costs
       incurred to date by the Company at sites where clean-up is presently
       ongoing and the estimated costs to complete the necessary remediation
       work remaining at such sites, (c) the financial solvency, where
       appropriate, of other parties that have been responsible for
       effecting remediation at specified sites, and (d) the experience of
       other parties who have been involved in the remediation of comparable
       sites.  The accruals recorded by the Company with respect to
       environmental matters have not been reduced by potential insurance or
       other recoveries and are not discounted.  Although the Company has
       and will continue to pursue such claims against insurance carriers
       and other responsible parties, future potential recoveries remain
       uncertain and, therefore, were not recorded as a reduction to the
       estimated gross environmental liabilities.  Based on the foregoing
       and given current information, management believes that future costs
       in excess of the amounts accrued on all presently known and
       quantifiable environmental contingencies will not be material to the
       Company's financial position or results of operations.

       In another matter, a Michigan Department of Natural Resources
       investigation into alleged environmental violations at the Company's
       Menominee, Michigan, facility has resulted in the issuance of a
       criminal complaint against the Company and two of its employees.  The
       complaint generally is focused on alleged releases of hazardous
       substances and the alleged illegal treatment and disposal of
       hazardous wastes.  Two civil lawsuits are also pending which allege
       improper disposal and emissions at this facility.  The Company is
       vigorously defending itself against all charges and allegations. 
       Information presently available to the Company does not enable it to
       reasonably estimate potential civil or criminal penalties, or
       remediation costs, if any, related to this matter.

       The Company is also involved in other litigation and proceedings,
       including product liability claims.  In the case of product
       liability, the Company is partially self-insured and has accrued for
       all claim exposure for which a loss is probable and reasonably
       estimable.  Based on current information, management believes that
       future costs in excess of the amounts accrued for all existing
       litigation will not be material to the Company's financial position
       or results of operations.

   4.  Subsequent Event

       On April 24, 1995, the Company acquired through a wholly owned
       subsidiary all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Fadal
       Engineering Company, Inc. ("Fadal") and the land and building used by
       Fadal in the operation of its business.  The total cash consideration
       paid by the Company at the closing of the acquisition was
       $180,193,000.  To finance the acquisition, the Company borrowed
       $118,000,000 under its existing domestic credit agreement and
       $62,193,000 under a new credit facility entered into at the time of
       the acquisition.  The acquisition of Fadal will be accounted for
       under the purchase method of accounting.  The Company has filed a
       Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to this acquisition, which
       filing includes historical financial statements of Fadal as well as
       pro forma financial information.  Located in Chatsworth, California,
       Fadal is principally involved in the design, manufacture and sale of
       computer numerically controlled vertical machining centers.

   </TABLE>

   Bookings in the first three months of 1995 were $159.4 million compared to
   bookings in the first three months of 1994 of $169.4 million.  Automation
   Technology first quarter bookings for 1995 of $41.5 million increased
   29.6% from $32.0 million in the first quarter of 1994 primarily as a
   result of continued demand for the new RAM machining centers which were
   introduced in the second half of 1994.  Integrated Automation bookings of
   $91.4 million decreased 22.3% in the first quarter of 1995 from $117.6
   million in the first quarter of 1994 due to the timing of order placement
   for large automotive contracts.  The domestic automotive sector continues
   to be a major source for new orders for this group.  European Operations
   bookings increased 41.4% from $6.1 million in the first quarter of 1994 to
   $8.7 million in the first quarter of 1995.  European bookings continue to
   be impacted by the unfavorable economic conditions and increased
   competitive pressure in the Company's European markets.  Automation
   Measurement and Control bookings of $17.8 million for the first quarter of
   1995 increased 30.0% from $13.6 million in the first quarter of 1994. 
   Much of this increase was attributed to the automotive industry.

   Consolidated net sales in the first three months of 1995 totalled $154.6
   million compared to $123.0 million in the year earlier period.  The
   increase in net sales  was related to the strong bookings experienced in
   the first part of 1994. 

   In the 1995 period, net sales for Automation Technology of $37.8 million
   decreased 9.8% from $41.9 million in the year earlier period.  Integrated
   Automation net sales of $73.9 million increased 50.1% from $49.3 million. 
   European Operations sales in the first three months of 1995 were $25.0
   million, an increase of 52.0% from $16.4 million in the year earlier
   period.  Automation Measurement and Control net sales increased 15.8% to
   $17.9 million in the 1995 period compared to $15.5 million in the 1994
   period.

   The consolidated gross margin (before depreciation and amortization)
   decreased to 20.5% of sales in the first quarter of 1995, from 22.9% in
   the first quarter of 1994.  The decrease in the gross margin percentage is
   primarily attributable to increased spending in unallocated costs and a
   less favorable workload mix.

   Selling, general, and administrative expenses (before depreciation and
   amortization) decreased as a percentage of sales to 10.1% in the first
   three months of 1995 from 10.5% in the year earlier period.  

   Net interest expense/(income) was $.3 million of income in the first
   quarter of 1994 as compared with $.3 million of expense in the first
   quarter of 1995.  The increase in net interest expense is attributable to
   the borrowings under the domestic credit agreement which totalled $36.0
   million at April 2, 1995.  The increased borrowings related to higher
   working capital levels necessary to support automotive contracts in
   progress.

   The provision for income taxes of $4.6 million for the first quarter of
   1995 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for 1995.  The
   Company's effective tax rate for the first three months of 1995 amounted
   to 39.3% as compared to 40.0% for the year earlier period.  

   Liquidity and Capital Resources at April 2, 1995

   On April 2, 1995, the Company had $10.2 million of cash and cash
   equivalents on hand which was a decrease of $13.9 million from the balance
   on hand at the beginning of the year.  For the first three months of 1995,
   operating activities used $47.3 million of cash.  Cash used by working
   capital changes totaled $57.5 million due primarily to increased accounts
   receivable and decreased accounts payable as a result of progress on long
   term contracts and purchases related to those contracts.

   Investing activities used $2.4 million which included $3.4 million in

   capital expenditures and $1.0 million of proceeds from the sale of assets. 
   Financing activities provided cash of $35.0 million which included bank
   borrowings of $36.0 million less dividend payments of $1.0 million.
