Note.--The industry classification is on a company basis and is based on the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) beginning 1987 and on the 1972 SIC for earlier years shown. In the
1972 SIC, the categories shown here as ``industrial machinery and equipment'' and ``electronic and other electric equipment'' were identified as ``machinery, except electrical'' and
``electric and electronic equipment,'' respectively.
