13 LIST ESTIMATED PRODUCTION CURVES FOR YORK BAND INSTRUMENTS The estimated production curves for the York band instruments are based on instruments for which serial number and date of manufacture are known, as well as on an estimation of monthly output in the early part of the century and a correlation of serial numbers with patent dates which appear on certain York instruments. Six separate yearly production rates are plotted, and it is expected that the year of manufacture can be estimated from these production curves. For example, an instrument with the serial number 28,000 could have been made between the years 1904 and 1910, depending on the actual rate of production. The yearly production rate of 2750 instruments comes the closest to meeting all the criteria used to establish this table, but variations in yearly production are not known, so the range of dates is probably more accurate.
