     Note 1:      For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, "earnings" consist of earnings from
                  continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted for the portion of fixed charges deducted from such
                  earnings.  "Fixed charges" consist of interest on all indebtedness (including capital lease obligations,
                  capital securities and capitalized interest), amortization of debt expense and the percentage of rental
                  expense on operating leases deemed representative of the interest factor.
     Note 2:      Interest expense includes amortization of debt issuance costs.
     Note 3:      The interest factor of 25% is management's estimate of the portion of rental expense representative of
                  interest.
     Note 4:      The ratios of earnings to fixed charges, before special charges, for the nine months ended 9/29/96 was
                  2.5  to 1.  The ratios of earnings to fixed charges, before the restructuring and special charges, for
                  1995 and 1994 were 1.9 to 1 and 2.4 to 1, respectively.
