Because of the close relationship of the "Blast-furnace products" and the "Steel works and rolling mills" industries and, particularly, because of the fact that in many cases the power for blast furnaces and steel works and rolling mills operated under a common ownership is generated in a separate power plant under the same ownership, it is impossible to obtain complete separate data for the power equipment used by each industry. TIN PLATE AND TERNEPLATE [A preliminary report for these products was issued October 8, 1940] The manufacture of tin plate and terneplate is not treated as a separate industry because of the fact that the production of black plates is a 10lling-mill operation and 32 of the 34 tin plate and terneplate establishments that reported for 1939 were operated as dipping departments of the mills that rolled the plates. The other two establishments were classified in the "Tin cans and other tinware not elsewhere classified" and "Stamped and pressed metal products (except automobile stampings)" industries, respectively. The number of wage earners, amounts of wages paid, cost of materials, etc., are not reported separately for the dipping departments of rolling mills and other establishments that operate such departments, but are included in the respective items for the industries in which they are classified. PRODUCTION OF TIN PLATE AND TERNEPLATE BY KIND, QUANTITY, AND VALUE; AND EQUIPMENT, BY NUMBER OF SETS AND BY CAPACITY: 1939, 1937, AND 1929 GRAY-IRON AND SEMISTEEL CASTINGS [A preliminary report for this industry was issued November 13, 1940] Description of the industry. This industry embraces establishments engaged primarily in the production of gray-iron and semisteel castings. Prior to 1939, the statistics for gray-iron and malleable-iron castings were combined in one industry classification, but for 1939 they have been classified as separate industries. A segregation of the figures for 1937 has been made for comparability with those for 1939. Comparable data for prior years are not available. The production of "Cast-iron pipe and fittings" is treated as a separate and distinct industry, statistics for which are given on page 207. Detailed statistics of products.-Gray-iron and semisteel castings are made to a considerable extent in establishments classified in other industries, that incidentally operate foundry departments for production of gray-iron castings for their own consumption in the further manufacture of such products as motor vehicles, stoves, furnaces, plumbing fixtures, machinery, 1 See GENERAL EXPLANATIONS-Definition of establishment.
