.1 Eaton's EC Timer - designed especially for European appliance makers - is modular, and customers can select their level of sophistica tion. Refinements to the timer's components have helped the compa ny maintain its edge in an increas ingly competitive European appli ance controls market. I Responding to the needs of vehicle manufacturers, Eaton designed an aluminum drier receiver that filters and dries air, thus greatly improving the efficiency of automotive air conditioning systems. Enlarged Circuit Breaker Line i Computer modeling resulted in the rapid development of a new cir cuit breaker that extends the com pany's leading medium voltage circuit breaker line to 38 kilovolts. The new circuit breaker, which is typically used in electrical substa tions. offers long life and troublefree service. i Eaton has also developed a new heavy-duty hydrostatic pump that incorporates an electronic circuit board, sensors and multiplexing to allow pump parameters to be mom tored and adjusted to optimize per formance. The pumps are smaller and quieter than earlier models and are designed for use on combines, wheel loaders, lift trucks and simi lar agricultural and construction equipment. Eaton's share of the S500 million worldwide market for heavy-duty hydrostatics is growing. The company intends to market the new electronic hydrostatic pump aggressively during 1995 in both North America and in Europe. I In 1994. Eaton introduced the AutoShift, a semi-automated heavy-duty transmission primarily for buses and coaches. Based on the Eaton Fuller 10-speed mechanical transmission, the AutoShift has an electronic module that selects ideal shift points and shifts automatically. Among other advantages. AutoShift trims weight and cost and reduces complexity. A partially automated version, the AutoSelect. is being offered for heavy-duty trucks in North America.

The tire pressure control system proved itself in Operation Desert Storm and in field testing with forestry customers such as Weyerhaeuser. Through internal development.
