Abstract

The object of the present paper is to analyse in some detail the extensive statistical data provided in the annual Censuses of Industrial Production (CIP) conducted annually by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The Woollen and Worsted industry (hereinafter the "Industry") has been selected because, as compared with most other industries, it is relatively homogeneous in products and materials. The author has no special knowledge of the Industry’s problems except that which emerges from a study of the statistics. It is hoped that this paper will bring these problems into sharper focus and thus contribute something to their solution; and if this pilot effort be deemed successful in whole or in part the methods used could be extended to other industries.
