  SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

       In 1992, a total of 18,927,703 internal combustion
  engines (except outboard, nondiesel automotive and
  aircraft) were shipped or produced and incorported at
  the same plant, representing a 12-percent increase
  from the 16,791,296 produced in 1991.  Gasoline or
  gas-gasoline engines totaled 18,298,632 in 1992,
  12-percent above the figure of 16,219,592 for 1991.
  The number of nonautomotive diesel and dual-fuel
  engines produced in 1992 amounted to 177,266, a 10
  percent decrease from the 184,245 reported in 1991.
  There were 451,102 automotive diesel engines produced
  in 1992, 18-percent more than 383,110 shown and pro-
  duced in 1991.  Production of gas engines (LPG and
  natural) was 4,171 in 1992, 5-percent less than the 4,349
  produced in 1991.

     A description of the survey methodology and related
  information appears on page 7.
