Massachusetts 02109, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and a bank as

    Fidelity International Limited, Pembroke Hall, 42 Crowlane, Hamilton,
Bermuda, and various foreign-based subsidiaries provide investment advisory
and management services to a number of non-U.S. investment companies (the
"International Funds") and certain institutional investors.  Fidelity

the common stock outstanding of the company.  Additional information with
respect to the beneficial ownership of Fidelity International Limited is
shown on Exhibit B, page 10.


SCHEDULE 13G - TO BE INCLUDED IN STATEMENTS
FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1(b) or 13d-2(b)


    Pursuant to instructions in Item 7 of Schedule 13G, this Exhibit has
been prepared  to identify Fidelity International Limited, Pembroke Hall,
42 Crow Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda, a Bermudian joint stock company
incorporated for an unlimited duration by private act of the Bermuda
Legislature (FIL) and an investment adviser to various investment companies
(the "International Funds") and certain institutional investors, as the
beneficial owner of 40,000 shares or 0.11% of the common stock outstanding
of Instrument Systems Corporation.

    Prior to June 30, 1980, FIL was a majority-owned subsidiary of
Fidelity Management & Research Company (Fidelity), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FMR Corp.  On that date, the shares of FIL held by Fidelity
were distributed, as a dividend,  to the shareholders of FMR Corp.  FIL
currently operates as an entity independent of FMR Corp. and Fidelity.  The
International Funds and FIL's other clients, with the exception of Fidelity
and an affiliated company of Fidelity, are non-U.S. entities.

    A partnership controlled by Edward C. Johnson 3d and members of his
family owns shares of FIL voting stock with the right to cast approximately
48.879% of the total votes which may be cast by all holders of FIL voting
stock.  Mr. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FMR Corp. and FIL.  FMR Corp. and FIL
are separate and independent corporate entities.  FMR Corp. and FIL are
managed independently and their Boards of Directors are generally composed
of different individuals.  Their investment decisions are made
independently, and their clients are different organizations.

    FMR Corp. and FIL are of the view that they are not acting as a
"group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "1934" Act) and that they are not otherwise required to attribute
to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned"
by the other corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
the 1934 Act.  Therefore, they are of the view that the shares held by the
other corporation need not be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d).
However, FMR Corp. is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of
the shares are beneficially owned by FMR Corp. and FIL on a joint basis.

    FIL may continue to have the International Funds or other accounts
purchase shares subject to a number of factors, including, among others,
the availability of shares for sale at what FIL considers to be reasonable
prices and other investment opportunities that may be available to the
International Funds.

    FIL intends to review continuously the equity position of the
International Funds and other accounts in the Company.  Depending upon its
future evaluations of the business and prospects of the Company and upon
other developments, including, but not limited to, general economic and
business conditions and money market and stock market conditions, FIL may
determine to cease making additional purchases of shares or to increase or
decrease the equity interest in the Company by acquiring additional shares,
or by disposing of all or a portion of the shares.

    FIL does not have a present plan or proposal which relates to or would
result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization, liquidation, or sale or transfer of a material amount of
assets involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any change in
the Company's present Board of Directors or management, (iii) any material
changes in the Company's present capitalization or dividend policy or any
other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure,
(iv) any change in the Company's charter or by-laws, or (v) the Company's
common stock becoming eligible for termination of its registration pursuant
to Section 12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act.

    FIL has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of the
shares.
