VALUE OF SHIPMENTS OF SELECTED CLASSES OF PRODUCTS, FOR THE UNITED STATES: 1954-1957--Continued

FOOTNOTES--Continued

However, in this table a product class primary to several industries is listed only under the 4-digit classification whose code was assigned to it; thus the value of shipments shown for code 2321 is based entirely on product classes 23211 and 23212 and does not reflect the data for product class 22532. Listed below are the industries that have primary product classes, the first four digits of whose codes differ from the industry code.

Includes product class 20140, sausage casings.

"Value of shipments estimates which contain extensive duplication are not shown. Such duplication arises where the products of some establishments are used as materials by other establishments classified in the same industry.

Includes product class 22971, jute goods, except felt.
Includes custom treating of wood owned by others.

7The data shown for these product classes are subject to some reporting discrepancies inasmuch as evidence appears to indicate that the distinction between "convertible sofas" and "jackknife sofa beds" was not consistently drawn by manufacturers.

81955-1957 data for Pulp mill products are not available on a comparable basis with 1954, owing to the fact that establishments with pulp making facilities at the same location as their primary paper and board mills, and for which separate records are not customarily maintained, were permitted to file a single report for both activities.

9The 1954 figure excludes, whereas the 1955-1957 figures include, the value of inorganic chemicals shipped by plants classified in nonmanufacturing industries. The value of shipments reported by normanufacturing establishments classified in Mineral Industries and including the Tennessee Valley Authority amounted to $99,796 thousand in 1954, $109,793 thousand in 1955, $115,018 thousand in 1956, and $112,513 in 1957.

10The 1954 figure excludes, whereas the 1955-1957 figures include, shipments of inorganic chemicals by nonmanufacturing establishments. 11Represents values reported by tar distillers and excludes shipments of tar, tar crudes, and tar pitches reported by establishments classified in Industry 2932, Byproduct Coke Ovens, and Industry 2911, Petroleum Refining.

12See 1954 Census of Manufactures Bulletin MC-28B, Industrial Organic Chemicals, for conceptual differences between reports to the Census Bureau

and those to the U. S. Tarriff Commission.

13 Excludes data for polyvinyl type and non-vulcanizable elastomers classified by respondents as plastic materials. 14These data represent shipments of specified products.

Statistics shown in Facts for Industry Series M19J, Paints, Varnish, and Lacquers, representing shipments by distribution channels, are as follows (in thousands of dollars):

15Data for edible tallow is included in product class code 20117, Other meat packing plant products. 16Represents value of production as reported by U.S. Bureau of Mines.

17Combined total for 2911-, Petroleum refining and 2992-, Lubricating oils and greases. 18Classified in product class 30993, Mechanical rubber goods, in 1954.

19Revised to exclude cost of containers.

20Also includes Industry 3332, Primary Lead.

21 Revised to exclude parts and attachments.

22 Includes value of parts and attachments.

23Diesel automotive engines and gas turbines are included in product class code 35196, Other internal combustion engines.

24 Includes $70,204 thousand of parts sold to other plants which are excluded from the totals shown for product classes 35215, 35217, and 35218. 25The comparable 1954 totals reported on Census Quarterly Form M37B were as follows: product class 35211, $396,466 thousand; product class 35212, $46,801 thousand; product class 35214, $267,918 thousand.

26Data for tracklaying tractors are not comparable with data for previous periods. For 1956 and earlier years data included tractors produced as integral units of tractor-shovel loaders. In 1957 such tractor components were excluded from the shipments total.

27Excludes parts sold to other plants.

28 The figures for product classes 35221 through 35226 and 35228 include, in addition to complete units, parts and attachments sold for replacement and repair but exclude parts and attachments sold to other farm equipment plants. Parts and attachments sold to other manufacturers of farm machinery and equipment and to other plants of the same company are included in the figures for product class 35229, All other farm machines and equipment. 29 'Includes the value of complete units shipped and value of front-end attachments sold with power cranes as original equipment or as spare attachments. Also included is the value of front-end attachments and parts sold separately.

30Includes the value of parts and attachments for all construction, mining machinery, and equipment sold separately other than parts and attachments for power cranes, draglines, and shovels.

31Includes parts for machine tools sold separately.

32 Represents only the value of machines of the home work shop, garage, and service shop types which were reported as manufactured primarily for metalworking uses. Equipment of this type manufactured primarily for woodworking is classified in Industry 3553.

33Data on rebuilt machine tools and metalworking machinery do not include machinery rebuilt by nonmanufacturing establishments such as repair shops. 34 Includes $1,032 thousand of manual presses which are excluded from product class 35422.

35Excludes manual presses including arbor, straightening, forcing, and assembly.

36Includes parts and attachments for all types of industrial food products machinery. 37Represents value of work done.

CHAPTER IV: EXPENDITURES FOR PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Table 1.--MANUFACTURERS' EXPENDITURES FOR NEW PLANT AND NEW EQUIPMENT, BY MAJOR INDUSTRY GROUPS:

(In thousands of dollars)

1957

All industries, total.... 12,145,366 3,864,795 8,280,571 11,409,470 3,477,622 7,931,848

Note: Detailed figures may not add to totals because of independent rounding and for reason stated in footnote 3.

D Withheld to avoid disclosing figures for individual companies.

The figures presented for establishments under construction are based on reports received from approximately 1,700 of the largest manufacturing companies and from a sample of all other companies covered in the Census. The standard errors for the published totals that include the sample estimates are as follows:

2The approximate percentage standard errors shown in this column indicate the range of difference 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.

(ii) Twice the percentage shown: approximately 19 times out of 20.

(iii) Three times the percentage shown: almost always.

3Where the symbol "D" appears for an industry group under the heading, "Establishments under construction," the withheld data have been excluded from the "All establishments" figure for that group. They are, however, included in the "All industries" totals for "Establishments under construction" and for "All establishments."

The figure is less than $500 thousand and is included in all totals.

Includes privately owned and/or operated establishments classified in Major Industry Group 19, Ordnance and Accessories. Establishments which are Government-owned and operated are not included.

Note:

Detailed figures may not add to totals because of independent rounding and for reason stated in footnote 4.

D Withheld to avoid disclosing figures for individual companies.

S Withheld 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.

1Totals for the United States and for divisions include the estimates for all States, whether or not separate data are shown for the individual States. Expenditures estimates are not shown for "Establishments under construction" for a State if the standard error of the "Total expenditures" figure exceeds 30 percent. The breakdown of a published total, by expenditures for plant and expenditures for equipment, is not shown when the standard error for "New structures and additions to plant" exceeds 30 percent. Unpublished data, including those which can be derived by subtraction, are generally unreliable. Estimates for "Establishments under construction" (Columns G, H, and I) cover expenditures during 1957 for new manufacturing establishments, or renovation of idle establishments, that were not in operation at any time in that year.

2The figures presented for establishments under construction are based on reports received from approximately 1,700 of the largest manufacturing companies and from a sample of all other companies covered in the Census. The standard errors for the published totals that include the sample estimates are as follows:

3The approximate percentage standard errors shown in this column indicate the range of difference 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.

(ii) Twice the percentage shown: approximately 19 times out of 20.

(iii) Three times the percentage shown: almost always.

*Where the symbol "D" appears for a State under the heading, "Establishments under construction," the withheld data have been excluded from the "All establishments" figure for that area. They are, however, included in "United States" and divisional totals for "Establishments under construction" and for "All establishments."
