Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 30 to Schedule 13D on the Common
Stock of IDEX Corporation (the "Issuer") is being filed on behalf
of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D, as amended (the
"Schedule 13D") which was originally filed on June 16, 1989.
Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but
not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in
the Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mr.
Gabelli") and various entities which he directly or indirectly
controls or for which he acts as chief investment officer. These
entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker
Industries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker"), Western New Mexico
Telephone Company ("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc.
("Entoleter"), Lynch Telecommunications Corporation ("Lynch
Telecom"), Lynch Telephone Corporation ("Lynch Telephone") and
Inter-Community Telephone Company ("Inter-Community")
(collectively, "Lynch and its affiliates"), engage in various
aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment adviser
to various institutional and individual clients, including
registered investment companies and pension plans, as broker/dealer
and as general partner of various private investment partnerships.
Certain of these entities may also make investments for their own
accounts.
The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own benefi-
cially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a particular
issuer. Although several of the foregoing persons are treated as
institutional investors for purposes of reporting their beneficial
ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who
do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1%
threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13D or implementation of
their investment philosophy may from time to time require action
which could be viewed as not completely passive. In order to avoid
any question as to whether their beneficial ownership is being
reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater
investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons
have decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more
detailed Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule
13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than may be
necessary.
(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one
or more of the following persons: Gabelli Funds, Inc. ("GFI"),
GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Securities, Inc. ("GSI"),

Partnership L.P. ("GPP"), GLI, Inc. ("GLI"), Gabelli Associates

arose from their affiliation with Lynch Corporation, a public

Act and Section 204A of the Advisers Act, respectively. They
further agreed to each pay a civil penalty in the amount of
