For description and back data, see Federal Reserve Bulletin, November 1966 > PP- 1605-15 and also July 1967, pp . 1096-98. The outpul 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. p--Pre1iminary r--revised
