PART I
------
Item 1. Business
--------
The company is a diversified manufacturer of engineered industrial
products, serving niche markets in aerospace, fluid handling, automatic
merchandising and the construction industry. The company's wholesale
distribution business serves the building products markets and industrial
customers. Founded in 1855, Crane Co. employs over 8,700 people in North
America, Europe and Australia.
The company's strategy is to maintain a balanced business mix, to focus on
niche businesses with high market share and to avoid capital-intensive and
cyclical businesses.
In the past five years, the company has completed seven acquisitions. In
1990 it acquired Lear Romec, a manufacturer of lubrication and fuel pumps for
the aerospace industry. In 1992, certain assets of Jenkins Canada, Inc., a
manufacturer of bronze and iron valves, were acquired as an addition to the
company's North American valve unit. In 1993, the company made five
acquisitions. Perflow Instruments, Ltd., a British manufacturer of pressure
and flow measurement equipment, was added to Crane Ltd. Huttig Sash and Door
Company expanded its nationwide millwork distribution by acquiring Rondel's
Inc., a millwork distributor serving the eastern Washington/western Idaho
region, and the Whittier-Ruhle Millwork Company, serving the Mid-Atlantic
region. The company significantly expanded its position as a supplier of
fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) panels to the recreational vehicle market
with the acquisition of Filon. Filon was integrated with the company's
Kemlite unit in the fourth quarter of 1993. The company acquired Burks Pumps,
Inc., a manufacturer of engineered pumps, in December 1993. This acquisition
will complement the company's Chempump and Deming pump businesses and
significantly increases its involvement in niche markets in the pump industry.
In 1990 the company sold Sea-Pac Sales Co., a distributor of floor
covering products, and its McAvity division, a Canadian manufacturer of
waterwork valves and hydrants for an aggregate sales price of approximately
$19 million. In April 1993, the company sold its precision ordnance business,
UniDynamics/Phoenix for approximately $6 million.
During March 1992 the company sold $100,000,000 8 1/2% notes that will
mature on March 15, 2004.
See page 24 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the contributions to
the company's sales and operating profit of each of its business segments and
the assets employed in each segment.

validators and handling systems for vending operations throughout Europe.
These devices are sold directly to the vending, amusement, soft-drink, and
ticket issuing industries.
WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION
----------------------
The company distributes millwork products through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Huttig Sash & Door Company ("Huttig"). These products include
doors, windows, moldings and related building products. Huttig assembles
certain of these products to customer specification prior to distribution.
Its principal customers are building material dealers and building contractors
that service the new construction and remodeling markets. Wholesale
operations are conducted nationally through forty-seven branch warehouses
throughout the United States, in both major and medium-sized cities. Huttig's
sales are made on both a direct shipment and out-of-warehouse basis entirely
through its own sales force.
Huttig maintains a saw mill and a manufacturing plant in Missoula,
Montana, where it produces certain of the above products and other finished
lumber, the bulk of which is sold directly to third parties, some of whom
compete with Huttig branches. In addition, Huttig manufactures wood windows
in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Valve Systems and Controls is a value added industrial distributor
providing power operated valves and flow control systems to the petroleum,
chemical, power and general processing industries. It services its customers
through facilities in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and California.
-3-
PART I
------
Item 1. Business (continued)
--------
Canadian wholesale operations are conducted through the Crane Canada
Supply Division of Crane Canada, Inc. This division, a distributor of
plumbing supplies, valves and piping, maintains thirty-seven branches
throughout Canada and is the largest single distributor for Crane manufactured
products. This division also distributes products which are both
complementary to and partly competitive with Crane Canada's own manufactured
products.
COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
----------------------
The company's lines of business are conducted under actively competitive
conditions in each of the geographic and product areas they serve. Because of
the diversity of the classes of products manufactured and sold, they do not
compete with the same companies in all geographic or product areas.
Accordingly, it is not possible to estimate the precise number of competitors
or to identify the principal methods of competition. Although reliable
statistics are not available, management believes the company and its
subsidiaries are important manufacturers or suppliers in a number of market
niches and geographic areas it serves.
The company's products have primary application in the industrial,
construction, aerospace, automated merchandising, transportation, and fluid
handling industries. As such, they are dependent upon numerous unpredictable
factors, including changes in market demand, general economic conditions,
residential and commercial building starts, capital spending, energy
exploration and energy allocations during times of scarcity. Since these
products are also sold in a wide variety of markets and applications,
management does not believe it can reliably quantify or predict the possible
effects upon its business resulting from such changes.
Seasonality is a considerable factor in Huttig and the Canadian
operations.
Order backlog totalled approximately $226 million as of December 31, 1993,
compared with $262 million as of December 31, 1992. Management believes
backlog is not material to understanding its overall business because long-
term contracts are not customary to significant portions of its business,
except within the defense and aerospace related businesses.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
-------------------
On March 18, 1994 pursuant to a tender offer, Crane Acquisition Corp., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Crane ("Crane Acquisition"), acquired 5,620,383
shares of the common stock of ELDEC Corporation ("ELDEC") at $13.00 per share.
With this purchase, Crane Acquisition Corp. acquired 98.7 percent of the
outstanding shares of ELDEC and thereafter consummated the merger of ELDEC
into Crane Acquisition Corp., each remaining share of ELDEC common stock would
be converted into the right to receive $13.00 in cash. Therefore, ELDEC is
now a wholly owned subsidiary of Crane. Funds in the amount of up to
$74,000,000 required for the acquisition of ELDEC have been made available
through short-term credit lines.
ELDEC, a Washington based corporation, designs, manufactures and markets
custom electronic and electromechanical products and systems for applications
that are technically and environmentally demanding. The company serves both
the commercial and military aerospace markets, and its major customers are
airframe and aircraft engine manufacturers and electronic systems
manufacturers. The company has four product lines; sensing systems that
monitor the status of aircraft landing gear, doors and flight surfaces; low
voltage and high voltage power supplies for avionic and defense electronic
systems; monitor and control devices for aircraft engines, including
flowmeters and engine diagnostic systems; battery chargers, transformer-
rectifiers and other devices that regulate DC power on an aircraft.
For the year ended March 31, 1993, ELDEC had net sales of $108,415,000,
net income of $2,430,000, and total assets of $112,235,000.

PART I

Item 1. Business (continued)
--------
The company's engineering and product development activities are directed
primarily toward improvement of existing products and adaptation of existing
products to particular customer requirements. While the company owns numerous
patents and licenses, none are of such importance that termination would
materially affect its business. Product development and engineering costs
aggregated approximately $18,300,000 in 1993 ($19,200,000 and $18,600,000 in
1992 and 1991, respectively). In addition, approximately $139,000,
$4,100,000, and $6,900,000 were received by the company in 1993, 1992, and
1991, respectively, for customer sponsored research and development relating
to projects within the Engineered Industrial Products segment.
Costs of compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations
involving the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise
relating to the protection of the environment are not expected to have a
material effect upon the company or its competitive position.

PART I
------
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
Neither the company, nor any subsidiary of the company has become a party
to, nor has any of their property become the subject of any material legal
proceeding other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to their
businesses.
The following proceeding is included herein because it has been reported
in the media. On September 22, 1992 the company was served with a complaint
filed in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Missouri naming the
company and its former subsidiary CF&I Steel Corporation ("CF&I") as
defendants and alleging violations of the False Claims Act in connection with
the distribution of CF&I to the company's shareholders in 1985 (Civil Actions
Nos. 91-0429-C-1 and 4:92CV00514JCH). The complaint alleges a continuing
agreement and concert of action between the company and CF&I to distribute
CF&I to the company's shareholders, thereafter to terminate CF&I's pension
plan so as to cause the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") to
assume CF&I's liability for $140 million in unfunded pension liabilities and
to prevent the PBGC from obtaining any reimbursement from the company, and to
publish and file misleading information in furtherance of that objective. The
complaint seeks treble damages and attorney's fees. The company believes it
has defenses to the complaint on the grounds, among others, that the
allegations are without merit, the plaintiff has no standing and the False
Claims Act does not apply. On June 1, 1993 the federal court in the Eastern
District of Missouri dismissed the complaint for lack of standing of the
plaintiff. The plaintiff has filed an appeal. The company expects the
dismissal to be affirmed by the appellate court.
The following proceedings are not considered by the company to be material
to its business or financial condition and are reported herein because of the
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the
descriptions of administrative or judicial proceedings by governmental
authorities arising under federal, state or local provisions regulating the
discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment.
In a letter dated October 15, 1992 the office of the Attorney General of
the State of Ohio advised Cor Tec, a division of Dyrotech Industries, Inc.
which is a subsidiary of the company, that Cor Tec's plant facility in
Washington Court House, Ohio, had operated numerous air contaminant sources in
its manufacturing process which emitted air pollutants for an extended period
of time without the required state permits. The Ohio Attorney General's
office also alleged that certain contaminant sources at the Cor Tec facility
were installed without obtaining permits to install. The main air contaminant
in question is styrene, a volatile organic compound that is alleged to be a
carcinogen. Cor Tec recently constructed an air remediation system in its
plant which included the installation of a hood, vent and incinerator to
capture and incinerate the styrene emissions. At a meeting in Columbus, Ohio
on March 4, 1993 the Attorney General's office proposed that Cor Tec and the
company sign a Consent Decree which would include general injunctive relief
and civil penalties in the amount of $4.6 million. Cor Tec has refused to
execute such a Decree or pay a penalty. No formal complaint has been filed by
the Ohio Attorney General against the company or Cor Tec with regard to the
styrene emissions. Cor Tec believes it has adequate defenses to the
allegations made by the Attorney General and it plans to vigorously resist
paying any damages, fines, or penalties.
On July 12, 1985 the company received written notice from the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") that the EPA believes the
company may be a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the Federal
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensations and Liability Act of 1980
("CERCLA") to pay for investigation and corrective measures which may be
required to be taken at the Roebling Steel Company site in Florence Township,
Burlington County, New Jersey (the "Site") of which its former subsidiary,
CF&I Steel Corporation ("CF&I") was a past owner and operator prior to the
enactment of CERCLA. The
-6-
PART I
------
Item 3. Legal Proceedings (continued)
-----------------
stated grounds for the EPA's position was the EPA's belief that the company
had owned and/or operated the Site. The company had advised the EPA that such
was not the case and does not believe that it is responsible for any testing
or clean-up at the Site based on current facts. CF&I also has received
notice from the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection,
Office of Regulatory Services ("NJDEP)", advising CF&I that an investigation
by the NJDEP had identified what was considered an existing and potential
environmental problem at the Site. As a past owner and operator at the Site,
CF&I was notified of the NJDEP's belief that further investigatory action was
needed to identify all potential environmental problems at the Site and
thereafter formulate and implement a remedial plan to address any identified
problems. The NJDEP has subsequently requested information from CF&I, and
CF&I has cooperated in providing information, including results of tests
which CF&I has conducted at the Site. The EPA identified sources of
contamination, which must be examined for potential environmental damage,
including: chemical waste drums, storage tanks, transformers, impressed gas
cylinders, chemical laboratories, bag house dust, rubber tires, inactive
railroad cars, wastewater treatment plants, lagoons, slag disposal areas, and
a landfill. On November 7, 1990 CF&I filed a petition for reorganization
and protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The EPA
has disclosed that two surface clean-ups have been performed at a cost in
excess of $2,000,000 and a further surface clean-up has been announced at an
estimated cost of approximately $5,000,000.
On July 1, 1991 the company received a letter from the EPA providing an
update of the clean-up at the Site. The EPA's July 1, 1991 letter describes a
proposed third phase of the investigation, including a Focused Feasibility
Study which defined the nature of contaminants and evaluated remedial
alternatives for two portions of the Site. The estimated cost for the
preferred remedy selected by the EPA for these locations is $12,000,000. In
the bankruptcy proceeding of CF&I the EPA was allowed an unsecured claim
against CF&I for $27.1 million related to EPA's environmental investigations
and remediation at the Roebling Site. Based on the analysis above, the
company does not believe it is responsible for any portion of the clean-up.
