Manufacturing statistics, with sources.
This section holds 15 statistics pages covering manufacturing sectors and production processes. Every headline figure carries a named, dated source, and pages that failed that check were held back rather than published here. Two audits are still running: figures inside tables and summary lists have not yet been checked to the same standard, and a sweep of the cited URLs found eleven that no longer resolve, seven of them on pages in this section. Those are being repaired or removed rather than left to imply a source a reader cannot reach.
