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

The financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 1994, as
compared to the financial information for the quarter ended March 31,
1993, and the balance sheet at December 31, 1993, is discussed below,
and should be read in conjunction with the Registrant's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993, and the financial
data as presented in Item 1 above.

Results of Operations

First quarter 1994 sales of $324.3 million decreased by 5 percent
compared with first quarter 1993 sales of $340.7 million.  Aerospace
segment sales decreased $12.2 million to $167.0 million in the first
quarter of 1994, from $179.2 million in the first quarter of 1993. 
Industrial segment sales of $157.3 million for the first quarter of
1994 decreased by $4.2 million, compared with sales of $161.5 million
for the first quarter of 1993.

Earnings from continuing operations were $17.8 million, or $.54 per
share, in the first quarter of 1994 compared with $25.2 million, or
$.70 per share, in the first quarter of 1993.  This decrease was
attributable primarily to lower sales, less profitable product mix,
and short-term manufacturing inefficiencies in the aerospace segment. 
The short-term manufacturing inefficiencies related primarily to the
transfer of production from the Brea, California, plant to the Puerto
Rico plant and to the realignment of manufacturing activities at
other aerospace plants.  The decrease was partially offset by lower
marketing and administrative expenses which resulted primarily from
the aerospace segment restructuring and from lower interest costs due
to the early retirement of high-interest debt in the fourth quarter
of 1993.  

Orders

Unfilled orders increased from $682.4 million at December 31, 1993,
to $692.6 million at March 31, 1994.  Incoming orders increased by
$48.9 million, to $334.5 million in the first quarter of 1994, from
$285.6 million in the first quarter of 1993.    

Aerospace Overview

Orders were $164.7 million in the first quarter of 1994, compared
with $124.5 million in the first quarter of 1993.  The increase was
primarily the result of the uneven nature of order activity in the
aerospace military original equipment market.   Aerospace unfilled
orders at March 31, 1994, were $569.9 million, compared with $744.3
million at March 31, 1993, and $572.2 million at December 31, 1993.

                                     7
<PAGE>

The decrease in aerospace sales for the first quarter of 1994
compared with the first quarter of 1993 resulted primarily from a 36
percent decline in military aftermarket sales and a 10 percent
decline in commercial aftermarket sales.  Original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) sales to commercial customers were flat, while OEM
sales to military customers were up 5 percent.  For the full year,
aerospace sales in 1994 are expected to decline to $710 million from
$753.6 million in 1993 as a result of reduced military sales.  As a
result of the ongoing reductions in defense spending, military OEM
sales are expected to decline approximately 15 percent in 1994 from
$226.5 million in 1993, despite the moderate increase in the first
quarter. Military aftermarket sales are expected to fall more than 20
percent in 1994 from $92.9 million in 1993, consistent with the first
quarter decline.

The world's airlines continue to experience excess capacity and
resultant competitive pricing that have restricted demand for new
commercial aircraft over the past several years.  Sundstrand delivery
forecasts for large commercial transport aircraft from the three
major manufacturers total approximately 410 planes annually in both
1994 and 1995, compared with approximately 530 in 1993 and 750 in
1992.  Commercial OEM sales were $204.6 million in 1993 and are
expected to remain flat in 1994, consistent with the first quarter. 
Commercial aftermarket sales were $229.6 million in 1993 and are
expected to increase moderately in 1994, despite the first quarter
decline.

Industrial Overview

In the industrial segment, incoming orders were $169.8 million in the
first quarter of 1994, compared with $161.1 million in the first
quarter of 1993.  Orders were strong in Falk's custom-engineered
product lines and in Sullair's construction markets, and orders for
Sullair's industrial compressors are improving.  Industrial unfilled
orders at March 31, 1994, were $122.7 million, compared with $114.6
million at March 31, 1993, and $110.2 million at December 31, 1993.

The strengthening orders in selected industrial markets support the
Registrant's expectations of continued domestic recovery, although
most European markets are not expected to begin improving until late
in the year, resulting in anticipated total-year industrial segment
sales of $650 million, compared with $629.5 million in 1993. 
Sullair's sales were flat in the first quarter, and are expected to
increase less than 5 percent in 1994 from $193.3 million in 1993. 
Sales for Falk were slightly higher in the first quarter, but are
expected to remain flat compared with $195.6 million in 1993 as a
result of the sale of a majority interest in Falk's Brazilian
operation. Milton Roy sales were down moderately in the first
quarter, but are expected to increase approximately 5 percent in 1994
from $240.6 million in 1993, as a result of the recent acquisitions
of HMD Group Limited (HMD) and the business of The Kontro Company, Inc.
(Kontro).

Liquidity & Capital Resources
   
Working capital decreased $53.4 million, or 15 percent, from December
31, 1993, to March 31, 1994.  The decrease was due primarily to
higher notes payable partially offset by a reduction of income taxes
payable.  The increase in notes payable was due primarily to the
purchase of stock under the stock repurchase program and the HMD and
Kontro acquisitions.  The decrease in income taxes payable was due to
payments of $34.9 million related to the gain on the sale of
Sundstrand Data Control (SDC).

Net cash provided by operating activities was $36.9 million for the
first quarter of 1994 compared with $80.8 million for the first
quarter of 1993.  The decrease was due in part to lower net earnings,
taxes paid on the gain from the sale of SDC and the absence of cash
flows from SDC in the first quarter of 1994, which was reflected as a
discontinued operation in the first quarter of 1993.  Also affecting
cash provided by operations were fluctuations in the levels of
accounts receivable and inventories which generated $10.4 million in
cash flows during the quarter ended March 31, 1994, compared with
$22.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1993.

In the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Registrant used $32.1
million of cash for investing activities, an increase of $15.3
million from the first quarter of 1993.  The increase was due
primarily to the HMD and Kontro acquisitions partially offset by
lower purchases of fixed assets.  Cash flows used for financing
activities decreased to $2.0 million in the first three months of
1994 compared with $60.2 million in the same period of 1993.  This
decrease was due primarily to the increase in net borrowings,
including the debt resulting from the HMD and Kontro acquisitions,
partially offset by the increase in the purchase of treasury stock.

During the first quarter of 1994 the Registrant purchased 682,500
shares of its common stock, for $30.9 million, under its share
repurchase program.  As of March 31, 1994, the Registrant had
repurchased approximately 4 million shares of the 10 million shares
authorized for repurchase by the Board of Directors.  Funds for the
repurchase were provided by the Registrant's 4(2) commercial paper
program and operating activities.

On April 19, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $.30 per share payable on June 21, 1994, to holders of
record on June 7, 1994.  It will be the 200th consecutive quarter
that the Registrant has paid a dividend.

On March 31, 1994, the Registrant's ratio of total debt to total
capital was 40.0 percent compared with 35.5 percent at December 31,
1993.  The increase was due primarily to the previously mentioned
increase in notes payable and stock repurchases.

Income Tax Issues

As previously disclosed, during 1992, the Tax Court issued an opinion
adverse to the Registrant related to the allocation of payments made
upon the resolution of government contracts disputes to reduce
taxable income in the years in which the revenues from these
contracts were reported.  In May 1993, the Registrant filed its
notice of appeal related to this matter in the United States Court of
Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.  During the first quarter of 1994,
the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirmed
the position of the Tax Court denying the Registrant's ability to
allocate certain settlement payments to reduce taxable income in the
years in which the related revenues had been reported.  The
Registrant then filed a Motion for Rehearing, which challenged the
correctness of the Court of Appeals opinion, which was subsequently
denied.  The Registrant is presently considering whether it should
take further action, including a possible appeal.  The Registrant
believes that the recorded tax and interest provisions are sufficient
to cover the resolution of these tax issues.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

During the quarter ended March 31, 1994, Milton Roy Company, an
industrial segment subsidiary of the Registrant, acquired HMD and
Kontro.  These acquisitions will expand Milton Roy Company's position
in the sealless pump markets.  The combined sales of these two
companies were approximately $27 million in 1993.

On March 29, 1994, the Registrant announced that The Falk
Corporation, an industrial segment subsidiary of the Registrant, had
signed a definitive agreement to sell an 85 percent majority interest
in Sundstrand do Brasil Equipamentos S.A., Falk's Brazilian
subsidiary, to local management.  The Registrant expects no
significant effect on earnings as a result of this transaction, which
was consummated on April 29, 1994.  Sundstrand do Brasil had sales of
approximately $17 million in 1993. 

Auxiliary Power Units

As previously disclosed, the Registrant is a participant along with
Labinal, Inc. in a joint venture, Auxiliary Power International
Corporation (APIC), which markets, sells and supports auxiliary power
units (APUs) developed and manufactured by the Registrant and Labinal
for commercial aerospace applications worldwide.  This business has
experienced operating losses as a result of substantial research,
development and marketing expenditures and a weak commercial airline
market.

The Registrant and Labinal have initiated activities to restructure
this business so as to reduce current levels of expenditures
consistent with the size of the available market while continuing to
provide the highest level of support to APIC and APU customers as an
important long-term participant in this market.  The restructuring of
this business is expected to reduce operating losses.

                                     10
<PAGE>

Outlook

The Registrant expects sales for 1994 to be approximately $1,360
million, essentially flat compared with 1993 sales. Aerospace segment
sales are expected to decline moderately in 1994.  This decline will
be partially offset by a slight increase in 1994 industrial segment
sales.  Operating profit expectations for each of the segments and
the Registrant as a whole remain unchanged from those discussed in
the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993. 
The Registrant is comfortable with current analyst earnings estimates
ranging between $2.70 and $3.00 per share for 1994.  This anticipated
increase from 1993 is due primarily to cost reductions from aerospace
segment restructuring and the impact of reducing common shares
outstanding as a result of the stock repurchase program.

The Registrant's expectations for capital expenditures (excluding
leased equipment) and research and development expenditures remain
unchanged from those previously disclosed in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.
