SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of AMETEK, Inc. To 
Withdraw Its Common Stock, $.01 Par Value, From Listing and 
Registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc. File No. 1-12981

July 6, 2005.
    On June 21, 2005, AMETEK, Inc., a Delaware corporation, 
(``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common stock, $.01 par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the Pacific Exchange, 
Inc., (``PCX'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 781(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 27, 2005, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer 
approved resolutions to withdraw the Security from listing and 
registration on PCX. The Board stated that the following reasons 
factored into its decision to withdraw the Security from PCX: (i) The 
Security is currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. 
(``NYSE'') and the Issuer will maintain the listing; and (ii) the low 
volume of trading in the Security on PCX does not justify the expense 
and administrative time associated with remaining listed, particularly 
in light of the requirements to address PCX's rules relating to 
corporate governance in addition to NYSE's corporate governance rules.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with 
applicable rules of PCX by complying with all applicable laws in effect 
in the State of Delaware, the state in which the Issuer is 
incorporated, and by providing PCX with the required documents 
governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on 
PCX.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on PCX, and shall not affect its continued 
listing on NYSE or its obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) 
of the Act.\3\
