PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business.

Esterline Technologies Corporation (the "Company") conducts
business through 13 principal domestic and foreign subsidiaries in
three business segments described in sub-item (c) below. The Company
was organized in August 1967.

On March 30, 1992 the Company sold substantially all of the
assets of Hollis Automation Co., an Esterline subsidiary which was not
significant to the Company in terms of operations or financial condition.
Hollis was in the Company's Automation Group.

In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a $40.6
million restructuring charge ($27.2 million net of income tax effect).
It provided for the sale or shutdown of certain small operations in
each of the Company's three business segments. On a pretax basis,
$21.1 million of the restructuring charge related to the Aerospace
and Defense Group, $8.9 million to the Instrumentation Group and
$8.4 million to the Automation Group. The affected operations
represented approximately 10% of the Company's fiscal 1993 sales.
The charge further provided for the consolidation of plants and product
lines, including employees' severance, write-off of intangible assets
which no longer had value and the write-down and sale of two vacant
facilities.

Actions completed through fiscal 1994 associated with the
restructuring included the sale of Republic Electronics Co.
(an Aerospace and Defense Group operation), the sale of a vacant
facility in Torrance, California (an Automation Group property),
most elements of employees' severance, and the intangibles
write-off, and comprised $19.1 million (before tax) of the recorded
provision.

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments.

A summary of net sales to unaffiliated customers, operating
earnings and identifiable assets attributable to the Company's
business segments for the fiscal years ended October 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992 is incorporated herein by reference to Note 12 to
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 41 and
42 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1994.

(c) Narrative Description of Business.

The Company consists of 13 individual businesses whose results
can vary widely based on a number of factors, including domestic
and foreign economic conditions and developments affecting the
specific industries and customers they serve. The products sold
by most of these businesses represent capital investment by either
the initial customer or the ultimate end user. Also, a significant
portion of the sales and profitability of some Company businesses
is derived from defense and other government contracts or the
commercial aircraft industry. Changes in general economic conditions
or conditions in specific industries, capital acquisition cycles,
and government policies, collectively or individually, can have a
significant effect on the Company's performance.

Specific comments covering all of the Company's fiscal 1994
business segments and operating units are set forth below.

the PCB manufacturing industry. Excellon's products emphasize
productivity and are designed to provide a highly efficient automated
production system for PCB manufacturers. Excellon's latest product
development combines multiple spindle microdrilling of circuit boards,
automatic board loading and unloading, and fully integrated material
handling capabilities. During fiscal 1994, Excellon acquired Amtech,
a manufacturer of unique material handling systems used in PCB
production.

Excellon products are sold worldwide to the PCB manufacturing
industry, including both large and small electronics equipment
manufacturers as well as component manufacturers, independent circuit
board fabricators and custom drilling operations.

In fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992, printed circuit board drilling
equipment accounted for 18%, 16% and 12%, respectively, of the
Company's consolidated net sales.

Tulon produces tungsten carbide drill and router bits, commonly
ranging in size from 5.6mm down to .25mm--some as small as .10mm--for
use in PCB drilling equipment. Tulon utilizes computerized equipment
which automatically inspects drill bits and provides the product
consistency customers need for higher-technology drilling.

W.A. Whitney produces automated equipment for the fabrication of
structural steel, sheet metal and plate components and related
material-handling equipment. This equipment performs such functions
as punching, cutting, shearing and tapping. W.A. Whitney historically
has specialized in equipment for punching and cutting mid- to
heavy-guage plate metal, utilizing plasma-arc air torch systems and
hydraulic punching. Its customers consist principally of large metal
fabricators, such as truck, farm implement and construction equipment
manufacturers, and a wide range of independent fabricators.

W.A. Whitney also produces a line of specialized screw machine and
turret lathe tooling attachments under the Boyar-Schultz name. These
products are sold to a wide range of customers primarily for use in tool
room and production operations.

combustible ordnance, including the 120mm combustible case used on the
main armament system on the Army's M-1A1 tank and of 120mm, 81mm and
60mm combustible mortar increments for the U.S. Army. The majority of
Armtec's sales are to ordnance suppliers to the U.S. Armed Forces.

In fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992, combustible ordnance components
accounted for 9%, 9% and 12%, respectively, of the Company's
consolidated net sales.

Auxitrol, headquartered in France, manufactures temperature and
pressure sensors for use in aerospace and aviation applications, liquid
level measurement devices for ships and storage tanks, pneumatic
accessories (including pressure gauges and regulators) and industrial
alarms, as well as electrical penetration devices and alarm systems for

Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994,
which is incorporated herein by reference.

EMPLOYEES

During fiscal 1994, restructuring plan actions included the sale of
a small operating company and most elements of employees' severance, as
discussed earlier in this report. Notwithstanding these actions, the
Company and its subsidiaries had approximately 2,800 employees at
October 31, 1994, level with the prior year.

7

COMPETITION AND PATENTS

The Company's subsidiaries experience varying degrees of competition
with respect to all of their products and services. Most subsidiaries
are in specialized market niches with relatively few competitors. In
automated drilling equipment for printed circuit board manufacturing,
Excellon Automation is a leader in its field and believes it has the
largest installed base in the world of automated drilling machines for
the production of printed circuit boards. In molded fiber cartridge
cases, mortar increments and other combustible ammunition components,
Armtec currently is the sole supplier to the U.S. Army. In addition,
Hytek is one of the largest metal finishers on the West Coast, and Korry
Electronics, Federal Products, W.A. Whitney, and TA Mfg. are among the
leaders in their respective markets.

The Company's subsidiaries generally compete with many larger
companies with substantially greater volume and financial resources.
The Company believes the main competitive factors for the Company's
products is product performance and service. Overall, the Company
believes its ongoing product development and design programs, coupled
with a strong customer service orientation, keep its various product
groups competitive in the marketplace.

The subsidiaries hold a number of patents but in general rely on
technical superiority, exclusive features in their equipment and
marketing and service to customers to meet competition. Licenses which
help maintain a significant advantage over competition include a long-
term license agreement under which Auxitrol manufactures and sells
electrical penetration assemblies.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS

The Company's subsidiaries are not materially dependent for their
raw materials and components upon any one source of supply except for
certain components and supplies such as hydraulic components purchased
by W.A. Whitney and certain other raw materials and components purchased
by other subsidiaries. In such instances, ongoing efforts are conducted
to develop alternative sources or designs to help avoid the possibility
of any business impairment.
