Note 1.  Significant Accounting Principles

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial reporting.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  The results of operations for the period
ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.  

Goodwill, arising from the acquisition of the Vibration Attenuation division
(see below), is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.  Specific 
intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods
benefited with periods ranging from 5 to 20 years.  For further information
regarding the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

Note 2. Holset VA Acquisition

On June 27, the Company through a wholly owned subsidiary purchased the
Vibration Attenuation division of Holset Engineering Company Limited ("Holset
VA") from Cummins Engine Company.  The aggregate purchase cost for the
acquisition of the Holset VA Business was $76.6 million.  Funds for the Holset
VA Business acquisition, net of cash received, were provided by cash and
borrowings of $60 million under the Credit Agreements as described in Note 4.

The Holset VA Business has operations in the United Kingdom, France, Spain,
Mexico, Korea, Brazil, and the United States.  The Holset VA Business is also
a minority partner in a joint venture in India.  Holset VA manufactures rubber
and viscous dampers and supplies three main markets including heavy truck,
light truck and automotive and industrial.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The purchase
cost of $76.6 million has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based upon their preliminary estimated fair values at the acquisition
date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated values for assets
and liabilities has been reflected as unallocated purchase cost which is being
amortized over 40 years.  The final allocation of the purchase costs to assets
and liabilities will depend on the final results of appraisals that are not
yet complete.  Therefore, the final allocation will probably differ from the
estimated allocation, possibly by substantial amounts.  The preliminary
allocation at June 27, 1997 of the $76.6 million purchase cost is summarized
as follows:

     (In thousands)

     Current assets                       $17,748
     Property, plant and equipment         15,806
     Unallocated purchase cost, 
        principally goodwill               38,843
     Intangible assets                     12,728
     Other noncurrent assets                  841
     Current liabilities                   (9,346)
     Total purchase cost                  $76,620


NOTE 3.  Pro Forma Information

The following pro forma unaudited financial data is presented to illustrate
the estimated effects of (i) the Holset VA acquisition and (ii) the completion

The pro forma information above does not purport to be indicative of the
results that actually would have been achieved if the transactions had
occurred prior to the years presented, and is not intended to be a projection
of future results or trends.

Note 4.    Debt

On August 1, 1997 the Company issued and sold $35 million of its 7.03% Senior
Notes, Series A and $15 million of its 6.96% Senior Notes, Series B.  Notes of
both series are due August 1, 2012.  The proceeds of the Notes were used to
pay down and permanently reduce the 364-Day and five-year Credit Agreements
discussed below.

In June 1997, the Company entered into revolving credit agreements to allow
for borrowings of up to $50 million under a five-year agreement and up to $50
million under a 364-day agreement.  In August 1997 these agreements were
permanently reduced to $25 million each.  At September 30, 1997, borrowings
outstanding under the 364-day agreement were $17.5 million at interest rates
ranging from 6.32 % to 8.5%.  There were no borrowings outstanding under the
five-year agreement.  The 364-day agreement is classified as long-term based
on management's intent to maintain this level of borrowing for a period in
excess of one year and the Company's ability to transfer the borrowings to its
five-year line.

Borrowings under the credit agreements bear interest, at the election of the
Company, at a floating rate of interest equal to (a) the higher of ABN AMRO's
prime lending rate and the federal funds rate plus .5% or (b) the Eurodollar
rate plus the applicable borrowing margin.
