Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     Trinity and United are shareholders of Western Atlas Inc. ("Western
Atlas"). On October 31, 1997, Western Atlas divested itself of its wholly-owned
subsidiary, UNOVA, by means of a pro rata spin-off in which each shareholder of
Western Atlas was distributed one share of UNOVA common stock for each share of
Western Atlas common stock held on October 24, 1997, the record date for the
spin-off. As a result, Trinity and United received the same number of shares of
UNOVA as they hold in Western Atlas. No consideration was paid by Trinity or
United for the UNOVA shares reported hereby.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

     The filing persons have no plans or proposals which relate to Items 4(a)

          stock beneficially owned by Trinity and United are set forth in the
          cover pages to this Schedule 13D. As their parent company, Unitrin may
          also be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such shares, and the number
          and percentage of UNOVA 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 reported by them, respectively.

     (c)  Except for the acquisition of the UNOVA common stock pursuant to the
          spin-off described in Item 3 above, the filing companies have had no
          transactions in the common stock of UNOVA.

     (d)  No person, other than the filing persons, 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.
