               HONEYWELL PLEASED WITH FEDERAL APPEALS COURT RULING
                  LITTON PATENT CASE REMANDED TO DISTRICT COURT

     MINNEAPOLIS, APRIL 8, 1998 - Honeywell Inc. said it is very pleased with

yesterday's decision by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to return

the LITTON SYSTEMS INC. V. HONEYWELL INC. patent and business interference case

back to the district court for further proceedings.  The case relates to mirror

technology for ring laser gyroscopes used in navigation systems for commercial

aircraft.

     `The Federal Circuit vacated jury findings on patent infringement and state

torts and also made certain infringement rulings favorable to Honeywell.  We

believe the case is now much better positioned for us to show Litton's improper

attempts to recover in court what it gave up in the Patent Office nine years

ago,' said Edward D. Grayson, Honeywell vice president and general counsel.

`This ruling does not conclude the matter, and Litton may even seek further

appellate review before the case returns to the trial court.  We are optimistic

that when the case is finally concluded there will be a favorable result for

Honeywell.'
