SWithheld because the estimate did not meet publication standards, either on the basis of the associated standard error of estimate or on the basis of a consistency review. 1In the 1947 Census of Manufactures, smaller establishments submitting "short" form reports were not requested to include data on capital expenditures. The resulting understatement is negligible. For a measure of the degree of understatement, see Chapter VI of Volume I, "General Summary," Census of Manufactures, 1947. 2The percentage standard errors shown in this column indicate the differences that can be expected between the estimates and comparable complete canvass totals, because of sampling fluctuations. The estimates will differ from the complete totals by less than: (1) The percentage shown: approximately 2 times out of 3. 3Includes privately owned and/or operated establishments classified in Industry Group 19, "Ordnance and accessories." Government owned and operated establishments are excluded from the Annual Survey. CHAPTER V SELECTED MATERIALS CONSUMED: FUELS, WATER, AND METALS This is the first time that the annual survey included an inquiry on water use by manufacturing establishments. Detailed water use statistics (for establishments having a total water intake of more than 20 million gallons) are shown for selected industries and industry groups as well as by industry groups within States and Division. The metals consumed tables included in this chapter are based on data obtained from the metals inquiry, which has been included in the annual survey report form for the first time since 1950. Historical data for 1952 and 1951, which were compiled from the "Report of Plant Operations (NPAF1 and NPAF-103)" survey, are also shown in the (See the "General Explanations" and text for a more detailed description of these data.) 350409 O-55-9 121 SWithheld because the estimate did not meet publication standards either on the basis of the associated standard error of estimate or on the basis of a consistency review. 1Includes all purchased fuel used for power and heat, such as anthracite and bituminous coal, natural and manufactured gas, fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, and wood. 2In the 1947 Census of Manufactures, smaller establishments submitting short form reports were not requested to supply data on fuels and electric energy. The resulting understatement is negligible for most major groups, but were significant for major groups 23, 24, 25, 27, and 39. For a partial indication of the extent of this understatement see Chapter VIII of Volume I, "General Summary," Census of Manufactures: 1947. The percentage standard errors shown in this column indicate the differences that can be expected between the 1952 estimates and comparable SWithheld because the estimate did not meet publication standards, either on the basis of the associated standard error of estimate or on the basis of a consistency review. 1The quantity in millions of kilowatt hours of electric energy sold in 1947 by major industry groups is as follows: total for all industries, 5,811; (20), 85; (21), 12; (22), 206; (23), 5; (24), 169; (25), 7; (26), 415; (27), 10; (28), 411; (29), 501; (30), 15; (31), 19; (32), 122; (33), 2,634; (34), 8; (35), 59; (36), 114; (37), 988; (38), 1; (39), 30. 2Figures for electric energy generated by manufacturing establishments are not available for 1949 and 1948. All figures for electric energy generated include electricity which was generated for sale or interplant transfer. 3Figures for electric energy purchased by manufacturing establishments are not available for 1953, 1949, and 1948. In the 1947 Census of Manufactures, smaller establishments submitting "short" form reports were not requested to supply data on quantity of electric energy. The resulting understatement is negligible for most major groups, but more significant for major groups 23, 24, 25, 27, and 39.
