Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax expense is provided at the U.S. tax rate on financial statement earnings, adjusted for the difference between the U.S. tax rate and the rate of tax in effect for non-U.S. earnings deemed to be permanently reinvested in the Company's non-U.S. operations. Deferred income taxes have not been provided for the potential remittance of non-U.S. undistributed earnings to the extent those earnings are deemed to be permanently reinvested, or to the extent such recognition would result in a deferred tax asset. The current quarter’s effective tax rate is 29.8% of pretax income compared to 34.7% for the prior year quarter. For the current nine-month period, the effective tax rate is 33.1% compared to 35.2% in the prior nine-month period. The decrease in the effective tax rates is primarily due to the determination that the undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries on which income taxes were previously recorded will not be repatriated in the foreseeable future, as well as the recognition of state net operating losses.
