NOTE. -- Based on data from Federal Reserve, McGraw-Hill Economics
Department, and Department of Commerce. For description and back data, see
Federal Reserve Bulletin, November 1966, pp. 1605-15. The output index for
total manufacturing divided by the capacity index for total manufacturing
may differ slightly from the utilization rate for total manufacturing shown
in the table, partly because of rounding and partly because the utilization
rate is calculated as a weighted average of utilization rates for primary
processing industries and advanced processing industries.
