Table 1 — Tabulation of Parts Made and Purchased by Manufacturers Covered by Survey purchase from outside com- panies the large high-wattage resistors such as the output voltage divider in the plate- supply unit. Many manufac- turers evidently make their own metal cabinets but pur- chase the wooden cabinets. The totals at the bottom of Table I show the number of parts the various com- panies purchase and make. In Table II these totals have been converted into percent- ages. Table II, therefore, shows the percentage of parts purchased and the percent- age 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.

For example, filter condensers are purchased by 36 per cent., made by 57 per cent., and partially made and partially purchased by 7 per cent.
