BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  condensed  consolidated financial statements and notes  have  been
prepared  by  the Company without audit.  Certain information  and  footnote
disclosures  normally included in annual financial statements,  prepared  in
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,   have   been
condensed  or  omitted.  Management believes that the  condensed  statements
include  all  necessary  adjustments (which are of a  normal  and  recurring
nature,  except  for the adjustment to deferred tax assets  described  below
under 'Income Taxes' and the prior year's changes in accounting methods) and
are  adequate to present financial position, results of operations and  cash
flows for the interim periods.  The condensed information should be read  in
conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  and  notes  incorporated   by
reference in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                            
           
                                FINANCIAL CONDITION



     The Company believes that its financial condition is strong.  Cash flow
from  operating  activities and borrowing capacity from  existing  lines  of
credit are sufficient to meet current and anticipated future needs.  At  the
end  of  the third quarter (February 26, 1994), the Company maintained  bank
credit  facilities  totalling $283.4 million, of which  $221.8  million  was
unused.  The unused facilities include $71.8 million in lines of credit  and
$150.0  million  under a revolving credit agreement from United  States  and
foreign banks.  On August 10, 1993 the Company issued $100.0 million of 7.5%
notes  due August 1, 2003.  Proceeds were used to repay bridge financing  of
$70.0 million and to pay down short term revolving credit debt.

     Current  assets decreased by  $7.8 million, or 2%, from the prior  year
end,   primarily due to reductions in accounts receivable and other  current
assets,  partly  offset  by an increase in inventories.   The  reduction  in
accounts receivable resulted from a lower weekly average sales rate compared
to  the  prior  year's fourth quarter rate.  Inventories increased  by  $5.9
million  primarily in anticipation of higher levels of sales.  Other current
assets declined due to amortization of prepaid taxes and other expenses.
  
     Net  property,  plant  and  equipment  declined by  $17.4   million  as
depreciation,  dispositions  and  currency  effects  exceeded  new   capital
additions.  Long-term deferred tax assets decreased by $3.7 million  because
of the reclassification of $6 million to current assets, partially offset by
a  $2.2  million  addition in the first quarter due to the recently  enacted
federal tax legislation which raised the corporate tax rate from 34% to  35%
and  thus enhanced the value of the Company's deferred tax assets.  In order
for  the  Company  to realize all deferred tax assets currently  recognized,
future  taxable  income  must  be  at least comparable  to  recent  amounts.
Although  the Company believes such taxable income levels will be  achieved,
lower  amounts  could negatively affect the provision for  income  taxes  in
future  years.   Other  long-term  assets  decreased  by  $5.6  million  due
primarily to the sale of a portion of the Company's investments in  Credence
Systems Corporation,  TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc and Planar Systems, Inc.

     Current liabilities declined by $45.7 million or 14%.   Short-term debt
decreased  $7.7 million as part of the proceeds from issuance  of  the  7.5%
notes  due August 1, 2003 was applied to repayment of revolving credit debt.
Accounts payable decreased $12.3 million primarily because of the timing  of
trade  payables.  Accrued compensation decreased $25.6 million  due  to  the
payment  of  employee severance charged against restructuring reserves,  the
payment  of  year-end accruals for incentives and commissions, and  seasonal
reductions in vacation accruals.

     Other long-term liabilities were reduced by the reclassification of $18
million of restructuring reserves from long-term to current.

<PAGE>
     Shareholders'  equity increased by  $1.6 million  as  the  increase  in
retained  earnings  was partially offset by declines  in  common  stock  and
currency  adjustment.  Retained earnings increased by $23.1 million  as  net
earnings exceeded dividends paid.  Common stock decreased $17.1 million  due
to  the  repurchase of approximately one million shares,  partly  offset  by
issuances  of  shares  under  the  Company's  stock  incentive  plans.   The
reduction in currency adjustment of $4.4 million resulted from the effect on
the Company's investments in subsidiaries and affiliates of decreases in the
value  of European currencies versus the U.S. dollar, partly offset  by  the
strength in the Japanese Yen.

                      39 WEEKS ENDED FEBRUARY 27, 1993


     In  the  first  nine  months of fiscal  1994, net earnings  were  $36.7
million, or $1.20 per share compared with $27.0 million, or $0.90 per  share
in  the first half of fiscal 1993.  The current year includes a gain of $2.2
million  or  $0.07  per  share from recalculation of deferred  tax  benefits
because of the enactment of tax legislation increasing the corporate  income
tax  rate,  and gains of $4.4 million after taxes, or $0.14 per share,  from
the   sale   of   a  portion  of  the  Company's  investments  in   TriQuint
Semiconductor, Inc and Planar Systems, Inc.  The prior year includes the net
effect  of two accounting changes which increased earnings by $3.3  million,
or $0.11 per share.

     Net  Sales were  $940.1 million, or 1% below the prior year's total  of
$949.3  million.   Test and Measurement sales and Television  Systems  sales
declined,  while  Computer  Graphics sales continued  to  show  good  growth
compared to the same period  of the prior year.

     Test  and  Measurement sales of  $461.5 million were down 8%  from  the
prior  year  reflecting the impacts of recessionary economies in Europe  and
Japan and weakness in some major industrial markets.

     Computer  Graphics sales increased  16% to $292.9 million, with  strong
growth  in  both  color  printers  and X terminals,  partly  offset  by  the
continuing  decline  in  revenue from older graphics terminals  and  related
service.

     Television Systems sales declined  6% to $185.6 million, with  most  of
the  decline  coming  in television production equipment.   Both  television
production  equipment and television test equipment sales were  impacted  by
the  weak  economies  in Europe and Japan.  Television production  equipment
sales  were  particularly strong early in the prior  year,  reflecting  high
initial shipments of the Model 3000 digital switcher which was introduced in
the spring of 1992.



                                       7

     Sales  to  customers in  the United States increased  2%,  from  $514.8
million  to $526.1 million,  representing 56% of total sales.  International
sales  of   $413.9 million were down 5%, due to the weak economies mentioned
above.

     Cost  of  sales increased as a  percentage of net sales from  51.6%  to
53.9%.  The increase was caused by the geographic mix of sales,  a reduction
in the historically higher margin on international sales, a continuing shift
in  the  mix of sales toward products with lower margins due to the  use  of
alternative  distribution channels, and by impacts  of  a  stronger  Yen  on
certain component costs.

     Research and development expenses declined by  4% to $111.6 million  as
the  Company  continues to focus its resources on its three core businesses.
R&D  expense  represented 11.9% of sales,  down slightly from 12.2%  in  the
prior year.
                                       
     Selling, general, and administrative expenses declined by 10% to $262.3
million resulting from infrastructure reductions, process improvements,  the
increasing  use  of  alternative distribution channels and  the  accrual  of
severance payments in the prior year.  S,G,&A expenses represented 27.9%  of
sales, down from 30.6% in the prior year.

     Other  expenses declined  $9.6 million due primarily to  the  gains  on
sales  of  investments in TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. and  Planar  Systems,
Inc. discussed above.

     The Company  recorded taxes on  current results at the estimated annual
effective rate of 34%, but showed a gain of $2.2 million on recalculation of
deferred  tax  benefits in the first quarter of this  year  because  of  the
enactment of tax legislation increasing the corporate income tax rate.   The
current  year  provision was primarily for United States  taxes,  while  the
prior  year provision was primarily for foreign taxes, reflecting the  shift
in net earnings from foreign to United States sources.

     Net  earnings were  36% higher than the prior year, as lower sales  and
gross  margins  were  more  than offset by  lower  R&D,   S,G,&A  and  other
expenses.

     In  the  third quarter, net earnings were  $15.5 million, or $0.51  per
share compared with $9.1 million, or $0.30 per share in the prior year.  The
current  quarter  included after tax gains of $2.9  million,  or  $0.10  per
share,  from the sale of  a portion of the Company's investments in TriQuint
Semiconductor, Inc. and Planar Systems, Inc.

     Net Sales were  $332.8 million, an increase of 7% over the prior year's
total  of  $311.2 million.   Computer Graphics sales and Television  Systems
sales  increased,  while   Test  and Measurement  sales  declined  slightly,
compared to the third quarter of the prior year.

<PAGE>     
     Test  and  Measurement sales of  $161.2 million were down 2%  from  the
prior  year  reflecting the impact of recessionary economies in  Europe  and
Japan  and  weakness in some major industrial markets. T&M sales  include  a
portion of the revenue from technology royalties discussed below.

     Computer Graphics sales  increased 27% to  $108.7 million, with  strong
growth  in  both  color  printers  and X terminals,  partly  offset  by  the
continuing  decline  in  revenue from older graphics terminals  and  related
service.

     Television  Systems  sales  increased  3%   to  $62.9  million,  as  an
improvement in television test equipment was partially offset by  a  decline
in television production equipment.

     Sales to customers in the United States increased 7% to $177.6 million,
and  represented  53% of total sales.  International sales increased  6%  to
$155.2  million  with  strong growth in Asia partly offset  by  weakness  in
Europe.
                                
     Product  orders were up 15%  from the prior year's quarter.  While  the
Company's  product  backlog  improved in the  current  quarter,  it  remains
relatively  low.  Consequently, the Company's future quarterly  results  are
dependent on new orders that can be shipped in the same quarter.

     The  Company realized  royalty revenue from two technology transactions
in  the  quarter of $10.1 million, which is significantly higher than  prior
quarters.  The Company also experienced higher operating expenses related to
the unusually large number of new product introductions in the quarter, plus
higher results sharing expense.  These factors together resulted in net pre-
tax  operating income approximately $2 million higher than the prior  year's
quarter.

     Cost  of  sales increased  as a percentage of net sales from  51.4%  to
54.4%.   The increase was caused by a continuing shift in the mix  of  sales
toward   products  with  lower  margins  due  to  the  use  of   alternative
distribution channels, by a reduction in the historically higher  margin  on
international sales, by the higher production costs related to  new  product
introductions discussed above, and by impacts of a stronger Yen  on  certain
component  costs,  partially offset by the positive  margin  effect  of  the
revenue from technology royalties.

     Research and development expenses of  $38.4 million were flat with  the
same  period of the prior year, but declined as a percentage of  sales  from
12.3% to 11.5%.  R&D expenses were impacted by the high level of new product
introductions in the quarter.

     Selling, general, and  administrative expenses declined by 5% to  $89.7
million resulting from infrastructure reductions, process improvements,  the
increasing  use  of  alternative distribution channels and  the  accrual  of
severance payments in the prior year.  S,G,&A expenses represented 27.0%  of
sales, down from 30.4% in the prior year.

     Other income of  $0.7 million compared to other expense of $3.8 million
due  primarily to the gain on sale of a portion of the Company's investments
in TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. and Planar Systems, Inc. discussed above.

     Income  taxes increased from  $4.7 million to $8.0 million,  reflecting
the higher earnings before taxes.

     Net earnings were $6.3 million higher than the prior year due to higher
sales  (substantially offset by lower margins), lower  S,G,&A  expenses  and
the gains in other income.
