9 Excludes data for motor vehicle parts plants operated by passenger car manufacturers which are included in the motor vehicle segment of the study. See appendix A for scope and method of study. Wage data reported in Pt. II of the study exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.

The term "motor vehicle parts and accessories" used in this context is limited to establishments classified in industry 3714, according to the 1967 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared by the U.S. Bureau of the Budget, except those operated by automobile manufacturers. It does not include plants manufacturing other types of motor vehicle parts which are included in the full survey of "motor vehicle parts," but classified in other industries. See appendix A for definition of industry branches studied separately.

11 Plants with fewer than 50 workers at the time of reference of the universe data were excluded from the survey.
