Restructuring [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | Restructuring We have initiated restructuring plans to better align our cost structure with projected sales levels. The restructuring actions taken have and will result in workforce reductions, primarily in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Restructuring expense, which is principally related to severance, by segment for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2013 is as follows:
|  | Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended
|  | June 29, 2013 |  | June 29, 2013
Aircraft Controls |  | $ | 1,226 |  |  | $ | 1,700 |
Space and Defense Controls |  | 556 |  |  | 556 |
Industrial Systems |  | 3,013 |  |  | 4,740 |
Total |  | $ | 4,795 |  |  | $ | 6,996 |
Restructuring activity is as follows:
|  | Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended
|  | June 29, 2013 |  | June 29, 2013
Balance at beginning of period |  | $ | 969 |  |  | $ | — |
Charged to expense |  | 4,795 |  |  | 6,996 |
Cash payments |  | (3,612 | ) |  | (4,806 | )
Foreign currency translation |  | (6 | ) |  | (44 | )
Balance at end of period |  | $ | 2,146 |  |  | $ | 2,146 |
Payments related to these costs are expected to be principally paid by the end of 2013. We anticipate that total restructuring charges will be approximately $1,700, $1,600 and $7,700 in our Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems segments, respectively, in 2013.
