(DOMESTIC AND EXPORT SHIPMENTS)
DEFINITIONS AND SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
hole of filling (mud pump, air compressor, or
combination).

1. Scope of survey
This survey covers firms engaged in the manufacture of
underground mining machinery; mineral processing
equipment; crushing, pulverizing, and screening
machinery; portable oil and gas and water drilling rigs;
and related mining machinery and equipment, including
drills and breakers, and mine cars. It does not include
conveyors, hoists, locomotives, or beneficiation
equipment.
2. Figures to be reported

Pull-back capacity (item codes 6005—6012) — Lifting
capacity of drawworks, or hoisting capacity of taphead.
Pull-down capacity (item codes 6110—6121) — Capacity
to apply bit pressure.
Bucket drills (item code 6350) — Machines which rotate
a bucket and remove cuttings by lifting the bucket to be
dumped.
Auger drills (item code 6350) — Machines which utilize
continuous flight auger bits for removing cuttings.

Companies with more than one establishment
manufacturing the products covered by this survey are
requested to complete a separate report form for each
location. If you have not received a separate form for
each of your establishments, please call the contact
listed on the front of the report form or write to the
U.S. Census Bureau for additional forms.

Cable tool drills (item code 6495) — Machines using
percussion-type tools and cleaning the hole with
tubular-type bailing tools.

a. Value of shipments
The figures on value of shipments should include all
products sold, transferred to other establishments
within your company, or shipped on consignment,
whether for domestic or export sale. The value
represents the net sales price, f.o.b. plant, to the
customer or branch to which the products are shipped,
net of discounts, allowances, freight charges and
returns. Shipments to your own branches should be
assigned the same value as comparable sales to
unaffiliated customers, i.e., the value includes an
appropriate allocation of company overhead and profit.
Products bought and resold without further
manufacture should not be included in shipments.

Reverse circulation drills (item code 6495) — Machines
using a rotary drilling process where the drill cuttings
and fluid return to the surface inside the drill stem
(large diameter holes, 18“ or larger).
Unit, for portable drilling rigs (item codes 6005-6495) —
Complete rig including carrier.
4. Comparability
Data reported in this survey should correspond to data
reported in the Economic Census - Manufacturing Sector
form. The sum of values for item codes shown in column
(a) should correspond to dollar values reported under
product codes indicated in column (b) below.

b. Columnar structure of report
Column 1 — Quantity (number of units)
Column 2 — Value of shipments ($1,000)
3. Definitions
Screens, vibrating (item codes 2475—2477) —
Machines used for dry or wet screening applications,
such as the sizing, washing, and dewatering of ores,
coals, sand, and gravel.
Portable drilling rigs (item codes 6005—6495) — Drills
mounted on a carrier and used on the surface (above
ground).
Rotary drills (item codes 6005—6121) — Machines using
a rotary drill pipe and continuous fluid cleaning of the
