                            REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

To Our Shareholders:

Our company had an excellent 1996.  Our performance, as measured by traditional
statistics, was at record levels.  Our work, aimed at preparing for our future,
was filled with great progress and enthusiasm.  Sundstrand has strong forward
momentum.

1996 HIGHLIGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS:

Our sales totaled $1,521 million, an increase of 3%.  This prior year
comparison is adversely affected by divestitures which occurred during 1995.
Sales from continuing operations grew 6%.  For 1997, we expect sales to grow by
10-15%.
     Our sales from non-US business made up 42% of the total.  We are strongly
committed to our international markets and expect to strengthen our global
business.
     Our earnings before restructuring charges were $140 million, an increase
of 14% despite modest sales growth.
     Our per share earnings before restructuring charges, which benefit from
our share repurchase program, grew from $1.96 in 1995 to $2.30 in 1996, a 17%
increase.  For 1997, our earnings per share before restructuring charges are
expected to be between $2.65 and $2.85 per share.  Although not reflected in
our forecast, we remain dedicated to our share repurchase program which is
about two thirds complete based on the present Board authorization.
     On February 20, 1996 our Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock
split and increased our quarterly dividend 13.3% from $.15 per share to $.17
per share.
     We announced a $32 million restructuring charge to configure our Sullair
Europe business into a more focused unit.  This business has not been
profitable since its acquisition in 1990, and we do not expect much help from
the European economies in the next couple of years.  By taking this action, we
expect, however, that this business will break-even in 1998.
     We purchased from our partner, Labinal, their 50% ownership in our
auxiliary power

                                                                              1

unit joint venture known as APIC.  Sole ownership will provide us with the
flexibility to enhance the support of airline customers throughout the world.
Although the acquisition will be slightly dilutive in 1997, we expect this
business to be a good earnings contributor in the future.  We also acquired
electrical load management technology from Leach International.  This addition
extends our current capabilities for managing aircraft electric power.
     Our ongoing Aerospace businesses achieved 11% sales growth in 1996.
Strong demand for new aircraft in response to increased worldwide passenger and
freight traffic as well as fleet replacement programs contributed to this
growth.  In addition, high aircraft utilization rates have created strong
aftermarket demand.  Although our military sales declined slightly in 1996, we
believe they will begin to improve in the coming year.  For 1997, we expect
solid Aerospace growth in both sales and earnings.  Sales levels should
increase 20-25%.  Aerospace operating margins, which grew from 14.9% in 1995 to
18.2% in 1996 before restructuring charges, are expected to continue in the mid
17 percent to mid 18 percent range.  This range reflects our recent
acquisitions, our manufacturing investments and the impact of new aircraft
programs which are in development or in the early stages of their profitability
cycle.  Aerospace operating earnings should grow between 18% and 25% during
1997.
     Our ongoing Industrial businesses generated combined 1996 sales of $736
million, which was up only 1% principally because of soft European markets.
The operational difficulties at Sullair Europe contributed greatly to overall
margins declining from 17.5% in 1995 to 15.8% in 1996 excluding restructuring
charges.  We expect 1997 Industrial sales to grow by up to 5% aided in part by
international strength in infrastructure development, particularly in South
America and Asia.  We expect our sales growth and restructuring in Europe will
result in 1997 Industrial operating margins of between 16% and 17% with
operating earnings growing by 5% to 10%, before restructuring charges.

OUR FUTURE:

Sundstrand is a company with great core strengths in technology, in focused
markets, and in the skills of our people.  As I am now into my second year at
Sundstrand, I want to share with you my thoughts on our direction.
     After several years of divesting and repositioning, which Sundstrand
leadership managed well, I believe we have a solid business base upon which to
build.  We are internationally known as a company with superb engineered
products.  Our future strategy will be to continue in this area of excellence
while focusing on new product and market opportunities.  We intend to place
emphasis on top line growth from products of like technology and profit
potential.  In addition, we are placing great focus on our manufacturing
techniques and processes.  We see real opportunity to provide greater value to
our customers as these capabilities are refined.

                                                                              3

                             REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

     Our new business and manufacturing process strategies will be focused
through decentralized organizations.  We are using discrete business units and
enterprises to implement highly customized improvements in work flow, cycle time
reduction, and responsiveness to our customers.  Our basic style is built around
the principles of simplicity, focus and trust.  We are building our future upon
core human values and entrepreneurial behavior.  In the end, we will gain
lasting competitive advantages from a fast, flexible, committed team-based
working environment.

BOARD CHANGES:

In April of 1997, Don O'Hare, Chairman of the Board, will retire from
Sundstrand.  Don came out of retirement in 1994 to lead Sundstrand through our
company s transition to a new CEO and the positioning of Sundstrand for a solid
future.  We are grateful for his enthusiasm, his wisdom, his leadership, and
for his many contributions during his 46 year distinguished career with our
company.  We wish him well with great respect and affection.
     Also in April, at the 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Donald E.
Nordlund, retired Chairman and CEO of Staley Continental, Inc. and John A.
Puelicher, retired Chairman of the Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, will retire
as Directors of our company.  Both have served our Board with great distinction
for over 20 years.  We extend to them our deep appreciation and best wishes.
     We thank you, our shareholders, for your support.

/s/  Robert H. Jenkins
President and Chief Executive Officer

LETTER FROM DON O'HARE:

As I leave the Board and re-retire, I would like to express my great confidence
and enthusiasm in Sundstrand's direction and future.  The leadership of the
company is exceptionally strong and their plans for the future are exciting.
It was a privilege to lead Sundstrand during these transition years, and I am
indeed indebted to the shareholders, Directors, and my associates for their
confidence.

                                   AEROSPACE

Aerospace markets in 1996 continued the pattern of the previous year, with
defense related markets relatively flat and commercial markets strong both in
air transport and business aircraft segments.
     In commercial air transport the airlines  continued profitability resulted
in orders being placed for over 1,200 new jet transports with delivery dates in
1998-2000.  Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Airbus, AVRO, Canadair and Embraer
delivered almost 500 jets in 1996 and ended the year with a collective order
backlog of over 2,500 aircraft.
     World airlines estimate that revenue passenger miles grew at about 7
percent in 1996 and believe that long term growth will exceed 6 percent per
year.  Sundstrand continues to serve this key market segment with increasing
content on new aircraft and a growing aftermarket sales and service business.
     In December we purchased the 50 percent interest held by our partner
Labinal in our joint venture company Auxiliary Power International Corporation
(APIC).  This company was established in 1989 to make and sell auxiliary power
units (APUs) for commercial transports and has gained an excellent reputation
in serving this market.  Together with the other APU products we make for
helicopters, business jets and regional transports, we now have a full fledged
family of APUs that constitutes a solid, self-sustaining business positioned to
take advantage of the growth in the air transport industry.
     We continue to focus on service for our airline customers as a market
discriminator in Sundstrand's favor.  Field Service and Marketing
representatives were added to increase our coverage of customers in Europe,
North America and Asia in 1996.
     Defense markets remained a steady source of sales and new technology
development opportunities, as well as a growing repair, overhaul and retrofit
business for us.  We were selected for new programs in undersea and unmanned
flight vehicles as well as traditional foreign and domestic military aircraft
in 1996.
     A growing market for Sundstrand Aerospace is business jet systems,
principally on larger aircraft that can utilize systems derived from our proven
airliner products.  Fractional ownership programs provide growth in this market
as businesses discover the advantages of independent air transportation.
     Sundstrand Aerospace continued in 1996 to preserve its competitive
advantage in Aerospace markets by providing more value in each product or
service: through new technology when it adds reliability or size and weight
advantages; with improved manufacturing methods that shorten cycle times; and
with improved responsiveness to the customers who operate our products.

                                   INDUSTRIAL

The global market activity of Sundstrand's Industrial businesses continued at a
high level and were equal to 1995.  Rising oil prices contributed to an
improved ability for petroleum related businesses to begin replacement of aging
equipment and also acted as an incentive to expand production capacity.
Construction and manufacturing, dependent as they are on stable economic
outlooks and moderate interest rates, continued as solid markets for our
products.  Mining and basic materials processing, particularly in East Asia,
were firm as demand for metals remained strong.
     Sundstrand continued to pursue new business opportunities in overseas
markets, adding sales coverage, joint ventures, and customer support in Asia,
Australia, Europe and South America.  The expanding infrastructure needs of the
economies in East Asia, particularly China, Indonesia, India, and Malaysia,
provided strong demand for Sundstrand's Industrial products.
     Falk completed its Auburn, Alabama plant expansion, and Australian joint
venture in 1996.  Milton Roy converted manufacturing lines to continuous flow
production after employee-led "breakthrough" events identified assembly cell
design and product movement improvements.  Sundstrand Fluid Handling
established direct customer support in China for its line of high horsepower
two stage pumps used extensively in urea fertilizer applications.  Sullair
introduced new models of smaller, more reliable encapsulated air compressors.
     In summary, the Industrial businesses experienced a solid year of
relatively stable markets and continued the strategic direction of excellent
customer service and expansion of geographical markets in all four product
groups.

                                   SULLAIR

Sullair is the world's only compressor manufacturer to concentrate all of its
efforts on rotary screw technology.  An industry leader and innovator since
1965, we use our broad experience to providing compressed air solutions for our
customers,  offering the widest selection of screw compressors in the market.
     Always sensitive to the changing needs of our customers, we have added new
models, the ES-11 and ES-16 to our highly acclaimed ES compressor series.  Its
smaller "footprint" and 50% fewer parts than conventional screw compressors
translate into higher reliability, simple maintenance, and low installation
cost.
     Wherever the cost of electricity is a significant operating expense,
Sullair's TS Series Tandem air compressors offer unmatched full load efficiency
and energy savings.  When the TS compressor is fitted with Sullair's spiral
capacity control valve, operating efficiencies are further improved and energy
savings increased during partial load operation.  In 1996, the TS compressors
gained further market acceptance in the air separation, automotive and textile
markets of Asia, Europe, and South America, as well as North America.
     Building on its successful introduction in North America, Sullair DS
Series oil-free compressors were launched in the key markets of Asia.  At the
heart of the DS compressor is a teflon coated air end, which, in combination
with the balance of the compressor package, provides Sullair customers with
higher performance and increased reliability.  When totally oil free air is
required in the manufacturing process, Sullair's DS Series compressors are
becoming the preferred compressor.
     Sullair is committed to total customer satisfaction, with responsive,
knowledgeable service worldwide, including fast, dependable product and parts
delivery; on-site and factory-based technical assistance; and professional
operation and maintenance training.  Global market growth is accommodated by
world-class manufacturing and assembly facilities in the United States, South
America, Europe, Australia, and China.  We support our customers through an
extensive international network of field offices and factory trained
distributors.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL REPORT

The 1996 summary annual report contains condensed consolidated balance sheets,
statements of earnings and statements of cash flows.  Complete consolidated
financial statements, including notes to the consolidated financial statements,
as well as management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations, are presented in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

Management's Report
The management of Sundstrand is responsible for the preparation and
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K and related financial information included in this annual report.
The financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently
applied and, as such, include amounts based on estimates by management.  The
consolidated financial statements have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the
Company's independent auditors. The condensed statements included in this
annual report have been derived from the audited financial statements and are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to those statements.
     Management also is responsible for maintaining a system of internal
accounting controls which is designed to provide reasonable assurance that
assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed in accordance with
management's authorization and are properly recorded.  To assure the
maintenance of effective internal controls, management adopts and disseminates
policies, procedures and directives; selects and trains qualified personnel;
establishes organizational structures which permit the delegation of authority
and responsibility; and maintains an active program of internal audits and
appropriate follow-up by management.
     The management of Sundstrand also recognizes its responsibility to promote
a strong ethical climate throughout the Company.  Toward this end, the Company
provides training in ethical decision making to each employee.  In addition,
each employee receives a copy of the Company's manual on Business Conduct and
Ethics.
     The Board of Directors elects an Audit Committee from among its members
who are not employees of the Company.  The Audit Committee meets periodically
with management, the internal auditors, and the independent auditors to review
the work of each and satisfy itself that they are properly discharging their
responsibilities.  Both the independent auditors and internal auditors have
free access to the Audit Committee, without the presence of management, to
discuss internal accounting controls, auditing, and financial reporting
matters.
