Marina de Filipina
1924 Second Quarter Report
1 April-30 June

A. Factories

4/11 factories produced 4,000t of material + 750t stockpiled = 4,750t available
3773t are used, and 585t transferred, leaving a stockpile of 392t.

7/11 factories (committed) produced 0.7 infrastructure pts +
0/11 factories (flexible) produced 0.0 infrastructure pts + 0.3 points received = = 1.0 pts available
0.4 pts are used, and 0.6 pts transferred, leaving a stockpile of 0.0 pts.

B. Infrastructure Development

Continued upgrade of Type 0 drydock at San Fernando to Type 1
0.3 points alotted = 0.7 total/1 needed = 0.3 needed to complete
