Item 2.  Acquisition of Assets

     Effective December 30, 1995, TRINOVA Corporation (TRINOVA), and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries Vickers E.S.D., Inc. ("Vickers") and TRINOVA
Limited, acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of
the Electronic Systems Division ("ESD") of Cincinnati Milacron Inc.
("Cincinnati Milacron") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Cincinnati Milacron
U.K. Limited.  ESD has facilities in South Lebanon, Ohio and Biggleswade,
England.  The definitive agreements include an Asset Purchase Agreement
between Cincinnati Milacron and TRINOVA (the U.S. Asset Purchase Agreement),
and an Asset Purchase Agreement between Cincinnati Milacron U.K. Limited and
TRINOVA Limited (the U.K. Asset Purchase Agreement), copies of which are filed
herewith as Exhibits (2)-1 and (2)-2, respectively, and reference is made
thereto for complete terms and conditions of such agreements.  Cincinnati
Milacron and TRINOVA and Vickers also entered into a supply agreement under
which Vickers will supply electronic controls to Cincinnati Milacron for seven
years. 

     The total purchase price for the net assets of ESD was approximately $105
million ($95,225,000 under the U.S. Asset Purchase Agreement and [British
Pound] 6,850,000 under the U.K. Asset Purchase Agreement) in cash, subject to
a post-closing adjustment based on the value of the net assets of ESD at
December 30, 1995, as determined by audit.  The source of funds used by
TRINOVA for payment of the purchase price was short-term borrowings.  The
acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.

     ESD designs and manufactures open architecture computer controls,
software and drives for plastics machinery and machine tools.  TRINOVA intends
to continue to conduct the ESD business as formerly conducted by Cincinnati
Milacron, except that it intends to expand such business to serve additional
markets and customers, including Vickers and Vickers' other machine tool,
plastic processing equipment and OEM customers.  Darryl F. Allen, Chairman of
the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of TRINOVA, is a director of
Cincinnati Milacron, Inc.
