 * Symbol question.svg Size and date are fine, AGF on offline sources. I'd suggest saying "nearly 20%" instead of "roughly" as the article states the actual number was 17%. However, there is a wholly unreferenced section in the article ("Names"), and as the nominator has more than five DYK credits, a QPQ review is required. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:17, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * As to off-line source (one, not many), it's searchable on google books. I just don't like to link to google books, it doesn't seem stable. As to "roughly 20%", it's what the source says. In short, the cartel agreement allowed the company to secure 17% of government contracts automatically, but it could freely compete for more contracts. Added references to "Names". As t QPQ, I'm working on DYK:15th Lancers (Cureton's Multanis).  // Halibutt 07:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
