PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business.

Esterline Technologies Corporation (the "Company") conducts business
through 14 principal domestic and foreign subsidiaries in three business
segments described in sub-item (c) below. The Company was organized in August
1967.

On September 27, 1989 the Company acquired six commercial aerospace
and defense companies (The "Acquired Companies") from The Dyson-Kissner-Moran
Corporation and certain of its affiliates together with 1,946,748 shares of
common stock of Esterline (the "Shares"). The purchase price for the combined
transactions was $153 million, including expenses, plus assumption of $3.2
million in debt. $27 million of the purchase price was related to the purchase
of the Shares.

The Acquired Companies primarily are in the commercial aerospace and
defense industry and include Armtec Defense Products Co., Hytek Finishes Co.,
Midcon Cables Co., Republic Electronics Co. and TA Mfg. Co., which are in the
Company's Aerospace and Defense Group, and Korry Electronics Co., which is in
the Instrumentation Group. For additional discussion of the September 27, 1989
acquisition, see the Company's Form 8-K dated September 27, 1989 and the
amendment thereto on Form 8 dated November 22, 1989.

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 as a whole 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 provides for the consolidation of plants and product lines,
including employee severance, write-off of intangible assets which no longer
have value and the write-down and sale of two vacant facilities.

(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, 1993, 1992 and 1991 is incorporated herein by
reference to Note 12 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements on
pages 28 and 29 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1993.

(c) Narrative Description of Business.

The Company consists of 14 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 1993 business
segments and operating units are set forth below.

industry.

At October 31, 1993, the backlog of the Automation Group (of which
$600,000 is expected to be filled after fiscal 1994) was $9.2 million compared
with $14.8 million one year earlier. The decrease is primarily due to low
incoming order levels in recent months at Excellon Automation.





4
AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE GROUP

This Group provides a broad range of measuring and sensing devices,
high-performance elastomers and clamping systems, and specialized metal
finishing principally for commercial aircraft and jet engine manufacturers;

mortar increments and other combustible ammunition components for the United
States armed forces and domestic and foreign defense contractors. Armtec
currently is the sole U.S. producer of 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 1993, 1992 and 1991, combustible ordnance components
accounted for 9%, 12% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated net
sales.

Auxitrol, headquartered in France, manufactures aviation and
industrial thermocouple-based products, 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 European and other foreign nuclear power plants. This
subsidiary also distributes products manufactured by others, including valves,
temperature and pressure switches and flow gauges. The markets served by
Auxitrol principally consist of aircraft manufacturers, shipbuilders, petroleum
companies, process industries and electric utilities. During the year,
Auxitrol acquired the temperature and pressure sensing product lines of a
competitor increasing its market share, and added pressure sensing technology
to its product line. Auxitrol has a joint venture with a Russian company to
facilitate use of Auxitrol technology in retrofitting the aging nuclear plants
in Eastern Europe. Exhaust gas temperature sensing equipment for a jet engine
manufacturer constitute a significant portion of Auxitrol's sales.

Hytek Finishes provides complete metal finishing and inspection
services, including plating, anodizing, polishing, non- destructive testing and
organic coatings, primarily to the commercial aircraft, aerospace and
electronics markets. Hytek recently has installed an automated tin-lead
plating line, employing the latest automated plating technology, to serve the
semi-conductor industry.

Midcon Cables manufactures electronic and electrical cable assemblies
and wiring harnesses for the military, government contractors and the
commercial electronics market, offering both product design services and

as clamps, line blocks and brackets for airframe and engine manufacturers as
well as military and commercial airline aftermarkets. TA's products include
elastomers which are specifically formulated for various applications,
including high-temperature environments.

At October 31, 1993, the backlog of the Aerospace and Defense Group
(of which $9.2 million is expected to be filled after fiscal 1994) was $40.8
million, compared with $58.9 million one year earlier. The decrease occurred
primarily at Armtec Defense Products and Auxitrol and was due to the timing of
the receipt of orders at both companies coupled with reduced levels of U.S.
Army ordnance purchases.





5

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. Patents and licenses which help
maintain a significant advantage over competition include the patents covering
a switch mechanism which Korry uses in its integrated panel product line, and 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 plasma torches, CNC controls and 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.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In late 1992, Korry Electronics received a subpoena for records from
the Department of Defense, Office of the Inspector General, and became aware of
a government investigation focusing on whether Korry properly certified that
certain switches used in military equipment were in compliance with applicable
specifications and testing standards. The Company has supplied records
requested in the subpoena and is engaged in discussions with government
officials. The investigation remains open, but the Company currently believes
that this matter will not have a material adverse affect on its financial
position or results of operations.

The Company has various lawsuits, claims, investigations and
contingent liabilities arising from the conduct of business, including those
associated with government contracting activities, none of which, in the
opinion of management, is expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
