Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

Inventory Disclosure [Text Block]

2. INVENTORIES

We state our inventories at the lower of cost or market.  The cost of our inventories is determined using the first-in first-out method.  When we determine that our gross inventories exceed usage requirements, or if inventories become obsolete or otherwise not saleable, we record a provision for such loss as a component of our inventory accounts.

Inventories consist of the following: 

		September 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
		(in millions)
Raw materials and work-in-progress		$	219.6			$	228.7
Finished goods		28.3				31.1
Gross inventories		247.9				259.8
Inventory valuation reserves		(28.5		)		(29.3		)
Inventories, net		$	219.4			$	230.5
