                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS  

The Timken Company, Administrator
 of the Voluntary Investment Pension
 Plan for Hourly Employees of
 The Timken Company

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available
for plan benefits of the Voluntary Investment Pension Plan for
Hourly Employees of The Timken Company as of December 31, 1993
and 1992, and the related statements of changes in assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available
for plan benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
the changes in its assets available for plan benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment as of
December 31, 1993 and transactions or series of transactions in
excess of 5% of the current value of plan assets for the year
then ended are presented for purposes of complying with the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, and are not a required part of the financial statements. 
The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the 1993 financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the 1993 financial statements taken as a whole.
