              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



    1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
    normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated
    condensed financial position at September 30, 1995 and the results of
    operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995
    and 1994 and the cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30,
    1995 and 1994.  The results of operations for the nine-month period ended
    September 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
    expected for the full year.  The consolidated condensed balance sheet at
    December 31, 1994 was derived from amounts included in the Annual Report to
    Shareholders which was incorporated by reference in the Company's annual
    report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

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


Financial Condition

A third quarter reduction in inventory of $1,417,000 and receivables of
$472,000 enabled the company to reduce short-term borrowings by $1,702,000 in
the third quarter of 1995.  Short-term debt of $9,255,000 at September 30,
1995, compares to short-term debt of $11,742,000 at September 30, 1994.  The
continuing high level of shipments of inventory and asset management account
for this improvement.  Capital improvements are approximately $400,000 ahead of
1994 levels.

At September 30, 1995, the company had approximately $27,100,000 of credit
lines with domestic and foreign banks of which $9,255,000 was in use.  The
company believes that the present lines of credit are adequate to meet
operating requirements.


Results of Operations

Sales of $25,856,000 for the third quarter of 1995 were down slightly from
sales of $25,870,000 for the same period in 1994.  Earnings of $915,000 ($.52
per share) reflected a 2.5% increase over earnings of $893,000 ($.51 per share)
in the third quarter of 1995.  Year-to-date sales of $82,363,000 are 13.4%
ahead of 1994 sales of $72,659,000.  Net earnings of $2,823,000 or $1.61 per
share are up 17.8% from prior year earnings of $2,396,000 or $1.39 per share.

Markets for both the Utility and Industrial Divisions softened in the third
quarter.  Year-to-date Utility Division sales are 20.5% ahead of 1994 on an
increase in unit volume.  Domestic sales for the Utility Division remain strong
while there has been a slowdown in units shipped on the Mexico City project.
Dollar sales for the Industrial Division remain slightly ahead of 1994 levels
despite a unit volume decline due to customer delayed purchases.

The gross profit margin for 1995 of 35.5% is down from 37.2% at this time in
1994.  The year-to-date margin has shown a 0.6% improvement since June 1995.
Product mix, with greater volumes of lower margin Utility Division products,
has caused the margin to decline from the 1994 level.

Interest expense has increased 12.8% primarily due to higher interest rates.
Most of the aforementioned debt reduction occurred in September of 1995.

The effective tax rate of 37.3% in 1995 compares to the 1994 annual rate of
35.4%.  A reduction in estimated tax benefits from foreign sales is the primary
reason for the increased rate.
