            The Schedule 13D, initially filed on December 22, 1994,
and subsequently amended on December 23, 1994, by John A. Levin &
Co., Inc. ("Levin & Co.") and John A. Levin relating to the 
Common Stock, par value $.50 per share (the "Common Stock"), of 
Sundstrand Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") 
is hereby amended by this Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D 
as follows:

Item 3.     Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
             The amount of proceeds, net of commission, from sales 
of the Common Stock made during the past sixty days was $19,025,016. 

Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction.

            Item 4 as reported on Schedule 13D is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety as follows:

            The purpose of the acquisition of shares of Common
Stock by Levin & Co. is for investment.  Levin & Co. intends to
review its holdings with respect to the Company on a continuing
basis.  Depending on its evaluation of the Company's business and
prospects, and upon future developments (including, but not
limited to, market prices of the shares of Common Stock and
availability and alternative uses of funds; as well as conditions
in the securities markets and general economic and industry
conditions), Levin & Co. may acquire additional shares of Common
Stock or other securities of the Company, sell all or a portion
of its shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company,
now owned or hereafter acquired, or maintain its position at
current levels.
            Except as described above, Levin & Co. has no present
plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any of
the matters enumerated in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive,
of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Levin & Co. may, at any time and from
time to time, review or reconsider its position with respect to
the Company, and formulate plans or proposals with respect to any
of such matters.

Item 5.     Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
            Item 5 as reported on Schedule 13D is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety as follows:

            (a) As of the close of business on October 5, 1995,
Levin & Co. holds for the accounts of its investment advisory
clients, and thereby beneficially owns, within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, 1,348,705 shares of the Common
Stock representing approximately 4.3% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock (based upon 31,319,461 shares of Common Stock
reported to be outstanding at July 31, 1995 in the Company's
quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the quarter ended June 30, 1995). 
By virtue of John A. Levin's positions as President, director and
sole stockholder of Levin & Co., Mr. Levin may be deemed the
beneficial owner of the 1,348,705 shares of Common Stock held by
Levin & Co. 
            (b) Levin & Co. has the sole power to vote and dispose
of 14,500 shares of the Common Stock.  Levin & Co. shares the
power to vote 811,150 shares of Common Stock owned by its
advisory clients and shares the power to dispose of 1,333,480
shares of Common Stock owned by its advisory clients.  All such
powers of Levin & Co. may be exercised by John A. Levin.
            (c) The trading dates, number of shares of Common Stock
sold and average price per share (before subtracting out the cost
of commissions) for all transactions in the Common Stock by Levin
& Co. during the past 60 days are set forth on Schedule A hereto.  
All such transactions were open market transactions and were 
effected on the New York Stock Exchange. 
            (d) The shares of Common Stock held by Levin & Co. are
held for the benefit of its investment advisory clients.  Each
such client has the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
securities held in such person's account.  No such client has any
of the foregoing rights with respect to more than 5% of the class
of Common Stock.  
            (e) Not applicable.
