The Canadian industrial machinery industry / by Urwick Currie Limited.: Z1-1955/2-41-1E-PDF

"In response to a request made on September 2nd, 1955, by Mr. W. L. Gordon, we undertook to carry out a study of the industrial machinery industry on behalf of the Royal Commission on Canada's Economic Prospects. At an early discussion with the staff of the Royal Commission it was agreed that the industry should include all firms and products so classified by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics with the exception of those relating to household, office and store machinery. The industry referred to in this report includes all types of machinery products used in primary and secondary industry with the exception of agricultural machinery, most types of transportation equipment, electrical apparatus and supplies (except those parts that form an integral part of an industrial machine) and household, office and store machinery"--Scope of the Inquiry, page 1.
