Figure 1: G.17 Statistical Release

Figure 1 is a tree diagram that shows the titles and release numbers of the statistical releases that preceded today's G.17. Between 1967 and 1976, capacity utilization in manufacturing was published as the E.5 statistical release. This release was renamed G.3 in 1976 and re-titled "Capacity Utilization: Manufacturing and Materials." In addition, there were two other related releases, G.12.2 (National Summary of Business Conditions) and G.12.3 (Business Indexes), which were merged in 1973 into a single G.12.3 statistical release entitled "Industrial Production." In 1990, G.12.3 and G.3 (with title "Capacity Utilization, Manufacturing, Mining, Utilities and Industrial Materials" since 1983) were merged into the G.17, under the new title "Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization."
