MATTER OF: International Signal & Control Corp.;
                Stewart-Warner Corporation - Reconsideration


DIGEST:

     Reference in one of acknowledged amendments to IFB
     to page 6, Section B of IFB did not operate to
     incorporate by reference Table of Contents, on page
     3,  Section B, and thereby incorporate by
