Scope of survey Your figure should include — This survey covers the manufacture of semi-conductors, Electronic components parts (integrated microcircuits, printed circuit boards, connectors, capacitors, and other transistors, diodes, rectifiers, capacitors, resistors, electronic components (except relays) and semi- coils, transformers, connectors, filters, etc.) conductor machinery in the United States. (See Reference List for complete list of products collected 2. Figures to be reported on this survey.) Companies with more than one establishment but exclude — manufacturing the products covered by this survey are requested to complete a separate report form for each Electric wiring devices should be reported on survey location. If you have not received a separate form for MA335K, "Wiring Devices and Supplies." each of your establishments, please call the contact shown on the report form or write to the U.S. Census Home entertainment electronic equipment, such as Bureau for additional forms. home and automobile radio receivers, television receivers, phonographs, hi-fidelity components, a.
