Re: Thermo Electron Corporation
Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended
File No. 333-134868
Dear Mr. Mancuso:
Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, Thermo Electron Corporation (the "Registrant") hereby requests
acceleration of effectiveness of its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File
No. 333-134868), as amended, to July 21, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, or as
soon as possible thereafter.
In connection with the foregoing request for acceleration of
effectiveness, the Registrant hereby acknowledges the following:
o Should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
o The action of the Commission or staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the
Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy
of the disclosure in the filing; and
o The Registrant may not assert staff comments and the declaration of
effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the
Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the
United States.
