[Redacted] Comments:
1. The degree of disorganization and the high percentage of rejects within the factory made it particularly difficult to obtain any accurate picture pf actual production. Cross-checking between Production card index of the factory, and the factory’s own monthly and quarterly reports has, we believe, produced as true an account as possible.
2. The difference of 23 in the actual production figures for Juno engine cylinders (Plan position 6) between the quarterly and monthly reports is probably due to the discovery of further reports is probably due to the discovery of further rejects.
