Give it a read. Really interesting stuff. I took quick pics with my phone instead of scanning it, sorry about that.
Some things of note stated in the article:
1. Cymbal theft in 1934ish caused Zildjian to install multiple cymbal vaults like the pictured example on the first page, which gave them a safe place to store a large number of cymbals.
2. Cymbals were (as of 1954 anyway) cured from 1-15 years before sale.
3. As of 1954, Zildjian was selling about 20,000 cymbal a year.
4. About 10% of cymbals cracked during forming.
Well written and the author seems to have used primary sources for the article.
edit - I limited the resolution for upload but I could increase it if needed
