Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes: The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 was 27.8%, compared to 18.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The Company’s effective income tax rate fluctuates based on, among other factors, our level and location of income. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and our effective income tax rate for the 2015 and 2014 periods is mainly due to the impact of earnings from outside the U.S. Our effective income tax rate in the 2015 period was affected by $3.2 million of discrete tax expense items related mainly to U.S. tax provision to return adjustments, and by the OPEB plan termination gain described in Note 12, while our effective income tax rate in the 2014 period was impacted by a tax benefit of approximately $5.8 million related to the restructuring charges described in Note 15, and by the pension plan actuarial loss described in Note 12.
