Actual quantity-cost curve is irregular because improved materials, tools, and methods for fabrication made sudden changes when introduced; tendency to adopt pressed-steel construction in place of wood and welded-steel tubing for quantities that justify tool cost; amount of floor space influences manufacturing cost; interrelation of design, tooling and labor costs; specific instance in Glenn L. Martin Co. factory. (see also Aviation Eng., vol. 2, no. 1, Jan. 1929, pp. 13-14 and 18, 3 figs)
