Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | Pay Versus Performance We are providing the following information about the relationship of the “compensation actually paid” to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and “average compensation actually paid” to our Non-CEO named executive officers (“Non CEO-NEOs”), as calculated under the SEC pay versus performance proxy rule, for our fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020 to certain financial performance measures. ■ The Compensation Actually Paid amounts are calculated by making SEC required adjustments to the Total compensation amounts for the executives presented in the Summary Compensation Table. ■ The Compensation Actually Paid amounts are calculated by making mandated adjustments to the amounts in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. ■ The financial performance measures presented are Company total shareholder return (“Company TSR”), peer group total shareholder return (“Peer Group Index TSR”), Net Earnings, and Company return on invested capital (“ROIC”). The peer group shown in the table is the S&P 400 Industrial Machinery Index, a peer group index that has been historically presented in the Shareholder Return Performance Graphs in the Company’s Annual Reports.
