Explanation of Responses:
(1)Shares withheld to pay taxes on vesting of restricted stock pursuant to 
exercise of tax withholding right under the Sundstrand Corporation Stock 
Incentive Plan in transaction exempt under Rule 
16b-3.
(2)A restricted stock unit entitles the holder to receive one share of the 
Company's Common Stock when the restrictions lapse and the unit has 
become payable.  Restrictions lapse on 20% of the restricted stock units on 
each of the fifth through ninth anniversary dates of the original date of 
grant.  The 1,200 restricted stock units were granted on December 8, 
1998.
(3)Previous grants to the Reporting Person of options to buy Common Stock under 
the Company's Stock Incentive Plan in transaction exempt under 
Rule 16b-3(d).  Options become exercisable at the rate of 25% of each grant on 
the second through fifth anniversary dates of December 8, 1998.  The 
tax withholding right permits a participant to elect, subject to the approval 
of the Compensation Committee, to satisfy the tax withholding requirement, in 
whole or in part, by having the Company withhold shares equal to the tax.  Of 
the 16,000 stock options held by the Reporting Person, 625 first became 
exercisable on each of December 1, 1994, December 1, 1995, December 1, 1996, 
and December 1, 1997, all with an exercise price of $19.3125 and 
an expiration date of December 1, 2002; 625 options first became exercisable on 
each of November 15, 1996, November 15, 1997, and November 15, 
1998, and 625 options will become exercisable on November 15, 1999, all with an 
exercise price of $22.375 and an expiration date of November 15, 
2004; 750 options first became exercisable on November 19, 1998, and 750 
options will become exercisable on each of November 19, 1999, 
November 19, 2000, and November 19, 2001, all with an exercise price of 
$38.9375 and an expiration date of November 19, 2006; 750 options will 
become exercisable on each of November 18, 1999, November 18, 2000, November 
18, 2001, and November 18, 2002, all with an exercise price of 
$51.3125 and an expiration date of November 18, 2007; and 1,250 options will 
become exercisable on each of December 8, 2000, December 8, 2001, 
December 8, 2002, and December 8, 2003, all with an exercise price of $50.5938 
and an expiration date of December 8, 2008.  All of the 
nonexercisable stock options, in the event of a "Change of Control" as defined 
in the Plan under which they were granted, may become immediately 
exercisable unless specifically prohibited by the terms of applicable 
law.
