Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead costs and are reduced, when necessary, to estimated realizable values. Certain domestic inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. These inventories were approximately 26% and 29% of the total inventory at October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Other inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Progress payments, which are netted against work in process, were $5.0 and $5.9 at October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
