INTRODUCTION

Every concern which receives a form is required to submit a separate report for each of its manufacturing establishments. Concerns with more than one establishment must submit a separate report for each establishment operated during 1950.

For the purposes of this survey, an establishment is defined as a single physical location where industrial operations are performed; for example, a factory, mill, or plant. Where a single physical location comprises two or more units which maintain separate payroll and inventory records and which are engaged in distinct or separate activities, each such unit shall be treated as a separate establishment.

The 1950 Annual Survey form is substantially the same as the one used for the 1949 Annual Survey. Where decisions have been reached by your company with the Bureau of the Census concerning your reports in the 1949 Annual Survey, or in the 1947 Census of Manufactures, with regard to the definitions of plants, employment groups, product classes, and related items, the same concepts should be used in your reports for 1950. It is recognized that, in some cases, the plant records you normally maintain are not identical with the definitions and concepts of the MA-100 form. Since this is a statistical report, reasonably accurate estimates are acceptable. Please refer to any correspondence regarding the 1949 Annual Survey before completing your 1950 report.

In some cases the information asked for in item 10 (Products Shipped) is a summary of detailed product figures requested from concerns on other monthly, quarterly, or annual surveys of the Bureau of the Census. The Product Class Reference Lists (PART B), while for the guidance of manufacturers generally, has been designed so that concerns reporting on these other forms need to transcribe only totals from the records they have previously compiled. This will minimize duplicate reporting without impairing the accuracy of the statistics or greatly increasing the cost of the survey.

You are required to return your report to the Census office shown on the enclosed envelope by February 9, 1951. A copy is also enclosed for your files. If you have not received a sufficient number of forms to cover all the establishments in your concern, please obtain additional copies from that office.

Each report should cover all the production activities (manufacturing, fabricating, processing, and assembling) conducted within the establishment. It should also include activities such as the generation of power for the plant, maintenance of plant and equipment, receiving, shipping, warehousing, storage, research, record keeping, health, safety, cafeteria, and other services, when carried on by the manufacturing establishment. Your report should exclude sales branches, research laboratories, retail stores, and general administrative offices, if they are operated as separate establishments.

Each report should cover the calendar year 1950. If your book records are not kept on a calendar-year basis, carefully prepared estimates for this period will be accepted.

If, however, this procedure will involve you in considerable additional costs and permission to report on a fiscal year basis in the 1947 Census of Manufactures was granted by the Bureau of the Census, you may report on a fiscal basis. (As in the 1947 Census and in the 1949 Annual Survey, however, all employment, payroll, and man-hour figures should relate to the calendar year rather than the fiscal year.) If the establishment began to operate or ceased operation within the year 1950, the dates given in the certification (item 13) should show the exact period which this report covers. Where the establishment was operated during the early part of the year under other management, make the report for the entire year, if the records are available.

An entry is required in each item on the form. If the answer is none, enter "none" or "0". If a particular question does not apply to your business, enter "not applicable" or explain briefly in the "Remarks" space.

ITEMS ON THE REPORT FORM

Item 1. "Physical Location of Factory, Plant, or Mill.' Enter the actual physical location of your factory, plant, or mill (which may differ from the address at which mail is received).

Item 4A. "Production and Related Workers."-For definition of "production and related workers," see instructions for item 3A above.

Item 4B. “All Other Employees."-For definition of "all other employees,” see instructions for item 3B above. Item 5. "Man-Hours of Production and Related Workers, by Quarter."-"Man-hours worked" is designed to measure the over-all activity of the plant. The "manhours worked" figure should include all "production and related worker" plant hours (whether worked or paid for). Exclude time on paid vacations, holidays and sick leave, when the employee is not at the plant. Include actual overtime hours rather than a straight-time equivalent hours. If employees elect to work during the vacation period, report only actual hours worked by such employees.

Each quarterly man-hours figure should be a total for the entire quarterly period (either calendar quarter or 13week period). The "Total 1950" figure should account for all man-hours at the plant of production and related workers for the entire year. If a payroll period runs from one quarter into the next, distribute the man-hours between the two quarters.

Item 6. Cost of all Materials, Supplies, Fuel, and Electricity Consumed, and Cost of Contract Work."Cost" refers to direct charges actually paid or payable after discounts and includes freight.

Report the f. o. b. plant value (i. e., invoice sales value) of all products resold in the same condition as when purchased and not made part of another product manufactured by this establishment. Do not include in this figure any value of products reported in item 10.

Item 9B. "Cost of Products Bought and Resold Without Further Manufacture in This Establishment."-Give the cost of all products resold which were reported in item 9A. Do not include in this figure any cost of materials, etc., reported in item 6.

Item 10. "Products of This Establishment Shipped.”— The product classes included in this instruction manual (Part B) are designed to assist you in completing Item 10. (Each product class is one or a group of the individual products shown on the file copy of your 1947 Census of Manufactures report.) Report each product class and its value on a separate line. A separate value should be reported in Column C for each product class you described in Column A. Do not include on a single line, products which fall under two or more of the product classes listed in the reference list.

In reporting product classes, describe in your own words those products you included in each class, rather than use the title appearing in the reference list. If some of your products do not fall under any of the classes listed, describe these products separately in Column A and report the value of each in Column C of Item 10. If Item 10 does not provide enough space, use the "Remarks" section to report the description of products, the product class code number, and value of these additional products.

Parts, accessories, and attachments produced for sale or interplant transfer are sometimes listed as a separate product class. Unless they are called for separately, include them in the class describing the product to which they relate.

The values reported in Item 10 should represent values f. o. b. plant after discounts and allowances and should not include freight charges or excise taxes. Freight charges can be excluded by the use of carefully prepared estimates when necessary. Include the cost of delivery if delivered by employees of this establishment. Transfers of prod

ucts to other establishments of your company (other manufacturing plants, wholesale branches, retail stores, etc.) should be included at approximate market value in the appropriate class of products.

The figures reported in this item should cover all shipments of this establishment, except for products resold in the same condition as when purchased, which should be included in Item 9A.

Item 11. "Metals Consumed in 1950."-(To be completed only by establishments using the specified metals in manufacturing their products shipped. Establishments such as textile or apparel plants that use metals chiefly for maintenance and repair need not report this item).

Report in columns B and C the tonnage and cost of the specified metals consumed in 1950 that were received from other companies or from other establishments of your own company. In column D report the tonnage of the metals that you both produced and consumed in the same establishment; e. g., if your MA100 report includes a "captive" brass foundry as a part of an establishment which further fabricates these rough brass castings and produces a brass valve, the tonnage of brass castings produced in the foundry and machined in the same establishment should be reported in column D.

The quantities of both columns B and D should represent metals processed to the mill or foundry level. These include rough (unmachined) castings, sheet, strip, plate, tubing, pipe, bars, tin plate, terne plate, etc. Metals received which have been fabricated beyond the mill or foundry level (such as valves, forgings, nails, spikes, machined castings, etc.) should not be reported in item 11. Ingots, blooms, or billets used in a forge shop should be reported in item 11.

The instructions above are identical with those used in the 1949 Annual Survey of Manufactures. The one change from the 1949 Survey is that producers of insulated wire and cable are not to report their consumption of bare wire used in making the insulated wire and cable. However, consumers of insulated wire and cable are required to report the copper content of the wire and cable.

The cost of metals reported in this item should be included in the total cost of materials reported in item 6. As in item 6, include in this item mill shapes and castings owned by you but used by others in making products for you.
