Estimates for the major industry groups have been adjusted to levels indicated
by the final 1944 data made available by the Bureau of Employment Security of
the Federal Security Agency# Estimates for individual industries have been
adjusted to levels indicated by the 1939 Census of Manufactures but not to
Federal Security Agency data# For this reason, together with the fact that
this Bureau has not prepared estimates for certain industries, the sum of the
individual industry estimates will not agree with the totals shown for the major
industry groups*
2/
Revisions have been made as follows in data for earlier months:
Wire drawn from purchased rods - March, April, and May 1946 to 25*4, 28.3, and
T T .l .
'
Tools (except edge tools, machine tools, files, and saws) - March, April, and
May 1946 to 22*5, 23*4, and 24,9.
Steam and hot-water heating apparatus and steam fittings - May 1946 to 45.4.
