The estimates have been analysed according to the 1958 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification up to 1969(a) and according to the 1968 edition from 1969(b). The industry groups shown are:

1958 S.I.C. 1968 S.I.C.
Service industries Orders XVII to XXIV Orders XX to XXVII
Manufacturing industries Orders III to XVI Orders III to XIX

Mechanical engineering Minimum list headings 331 to 349 Order VII
