Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Tariff Commission, Vol. 4: The Engineering Industries, Including Structural, Electrical, Marine and Shipbuilding, Mechanical and General Industrial Engineering
The following is an analysis and summary of official British and foreign statistics and of the actual statements of Witnesses and of Firms responding to the Forms, without comment of any kind by the Commission. The summary has been compiled on the same method as that described in the case of other trades (see Cotton and other Reports); it retains throughout the words of Witnesses and Firms, and therefore expresses their views on the state of the industry.
The detailed statements of Witnesses and Firms upon which the summary is based are published in Sections III, IV and V of this volume and cover the period from 1904 to the end of 1908. Much evidence bearing on the Engineering Industries was also included in the Iron and Steel Report of the Tariff Commission.
In all cases, except where otherwise stated, the statistics are based upon official returns and comparisons have been carried as far back as the official classifications allowed.
