     This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D amends the
Schedule 13D initially filed on June 28, 1996 (collec-
tively, with all amendments thereto, the "Schedule 13D").

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds and Other
          Consideration.

     Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and
supplemented by the following:

     The net investment cost (including
commissions) is $1,831,592 for the 108,400
Shares acquired by FCP since the filing of the
prior Schedule 13D, $1,118,584 for the 66,100
Shares acquired by FCIP since the filing of the
prior Schedule 13D, $130,182 for the 7,700
Shares acquired by FCIP II since the filing of the
prior Schedule 13D, $197,579 for the 11,700
Shares acquired by FCIP III since the filing of
the prior Schedule 13D, $303,884 for the 18,000
Shares acquired by Tinicum since the filing of
the prior schedule 13D  and $1,642,844 for the
97,010 Shares held by the Managed Accounts
since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D.

     The consideration for such acquisitions was
obtained as follows: (i) with respect to FCIP, FCIP
II and FCIP III, from working capital; (ii) with
respect to the Managed Accounts, from the working
capital of each Managed Account and/or from
borrowings pursuant to margin accounts maintained
by some of the Managed Accounts at Goldman
Sachs & Co.; and (iii) with respect to FCP and
Tinicum, from working capital, from borrowings
pursuant to margin accounts maintained by FCP
and Tinicum at Goldman Sachs & Co. and/or from
borrowings pursuant to separate revolving credit
agreements (the "Credit Agreements") entered into
by each of FCP and Tinicum with ING (U.S.)
Capital Corporation ("ING").  FCP, Tinicum  and
some of the Managed Accounts hold certain
securities in their respective margin accounts at
Goldman Sachs & Co., and the accounts


PAGE
<PAGE>
may from time to time have debit
balances.  It is not possible to determine
the amount of borrowings, if any, used to
acquire the Shares.

Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

     The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares is for
investment, and the acquisitions of the Shares by each of the
Partnerships and the Managed Accounts were
made in the ordinary course of business and were not
made for the purpose of acquiring control of the
Company. 

     Although no Reporting Person has any specific
plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of Shares, consistent
with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any
time and from time to time may acquire additional Shares
or dispose of any or all of its Shares depending upon an
ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Shares, prevailing
market conditions, other investment opportunities , liquidity
requirements of the Reporting Person and/or other investment
considerations. No Reporting Person has made a determination
regarding a maximum or minimum number of Shares which it
may hold at any point in time.  If the Reporting Persons do
acquire additional Shares, the Reporting Persons, may as a 
result of the voting rights associated with such Share ownership,
acquire "control" of the Company as such term is defined
in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.

     Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the
Reporting Persons may engage in communications with
one or more shareholders of the Company, one or more
officers of the Company and/or one or more members of
the board of directors of the Company regarding the Company, 
including but not limited to its operations.

PAGE
<PAGE>
     Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed 
a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons
has any plans or proposals which relate to, or
could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs
(a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.  The Reporting
Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or
reconsider their position and/or change their purpose
and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
