The report form shown on pages 267-275, Form MC-33H, is an example of the 208 standard forms used in the 1947 Census of Manufactures. Parts I through VI are the same on nearly all standard forms. Part VII is a special inquiry adapted to the requirements for information on production of commodities by different industries. Part VIII, Section A, which deals with consumption of materials, appears only on selected schedules and is also adapted to the requirements of individual industries. Part VIII, Section B, is included in schedules sent to establishments performing metalworking operations.

The report form shown on pages 280 and 281 of this appendix, Form MC-100A, was sent to small establishments in selected industries. The general inquiries included on this form were greatly abridged, and the product inquiry (Part VII) permitted the

266

manufacturer to describe his principal products in his own words. Smaller establishments in the lumber and most printing and publishing industries received forms, on which the general inquiries were essentially the same as those on MC-100A, but the product inquiry consisted of a preprinted list suitable to the industry.

The instructions for preparing these reports are also shown below. Instruction MC-1 accompanied the schedules sent to independent manufacturers (owning or operating one manufacturing establishment) and Instruction MC-2 accompanied those sent to multiple-establishment companies (operating two or more manufacturing establishments).

The census punch cards are shown on pages 282 and 283.

Everyone to whom a Census of Manufactures schedule is addressed is required
by law to make a return. Complete answers to all questions must be supplied
for each manufacturing establishment. You are requested to complete and
return this schedule within 30 days after its receipt. If additional lime is
required, a request for an extension should be addressed to the Director, Bureau
of the Census, Washington 25, D. C., stating the reasons for the request and the
additional time needed. RETAIN THE GREEN COPY FOR YOUR FILES.
If this establishment was not in business or did not operate at any time during
the calendar year 1947, explain briefly under "Remarks," execute the certifica-
tion, and return the schedule immediately.
