set forth herein, there has been no material change in the
information set forth in the Schedule 14D-1.

Item 4, Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     On March 18, 1994, Crane borrowed $73,065,000 under its

5,620,383 Shares, representing approximately 98.7% of the
outstanding Shares, Purchase consummated the Merger as a "short
form" merger pursuant to the applicable provisions of the WBCA. 
The Merger did not require any amendment to the Merger

of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Washington provided, in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the WBCA, that ELDEC Corporation was merged with

              CRANE CO. ACQUIRES ELDEC CORPORATION


     STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT -- March 18, 1994 -- Crane Co.
