The Schedule 13D filed by Crane Co. on January 3, 1994 with
respect to Mark Controls Corporation is hereby amended as
follows:

4.  Purpose of Transaction

On Wednesday January 26, 1994 R.S. Evans, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Crane Co. and other Crane representatives
met with William Bendix, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Mark Controls Corporation and other Mark Controls
representatives at Mark Controls headquarters in Skokie,
Illinois.  They discussed the publicly available information
about Mark Controls.

Mr. Evans reiterated Crane's determination to proceed with the
proposal made in his letter to Mr. Bendix dated January 17,
1993.  The Mark Controls representatives advised that its Board
of Directors would hold their next regular meeting on January
28, 1994 at which time the Crane proposal would be reviewed by
the Board.  The meeting was characterized by both sides as
amicable. 

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and
belief, I certify that the information set forth in this
statement is true, complete and correct.

Date:   January 27, 1994

                             /s/ P.R. Hundt 
                             _______________________
