Engineering industries may be regarded as concerned with the production of finished articles from the products of iron and steel and other metal industries. Their boundaries, however, cannot be closely defined, as the iron and steel industry itself must be regarded as in part engaged in the heavier sections of engineering (as for example, constructional steel work, rail manufacture and the production of castings) and several branches of lighter work on metals are not usually classed with engineering. 2, record 1, English, - engineering%20industry
