Many manufacturers evidently make their own metal cabinets but purchase the wooden cabinets. The totals at the bottom of Table I show the number of parts the various companies purchase and make. In Table II these totals have been converted into percentages. Table II, therefore, shows the percentage of parts purchased and the percentage of parts made in the case of each manufacturer. From these figures we arrive at the average percentages given at the bottom of Table II.

Dials are made by 86 per cent, of the manufacturers, only 7 per cent, purchased all their requirements of this item from the outside, and 7 per cent, make some dials and purchase the remainder of their requirements.
