It embraces 373 different product lines, 28 divisions, nine U.S. subsidiaries and 22 affiliated companies in ten countries. Last week the company drew yet another operation under its wing: for $5,300,000 worth of stock, it acquired Besly-Welles Corp., an Illinois machine-tool maker that had 1964 sales of $11.5 million...
