PROBABLE TA-TUNG DIESEL ENGINE PLANT #616

PIR - 65113
A search for the Ta-tung Diesel Engine Plant #616 revealed only
one plant that appears capable of such production. It is located 3.6 nm
southwest of Ta-tung on the west bank of the Shih-li Ho at coordinates
40 02 30N - 113 12'20E-, and consists of two large assembly buildings, a
forge/foundry, two large machine-shops, possible steam plant, heat processing
buildings, and numerous miscellaneous support/storage facilities which are
described and annotated in Table 1 and shown on Figure 2. All production
buildings and most of the support/storage areas are served by rail spurs
that connect the plant with the main railway line between Ta-tong and
Tai-yuan. This plant and nearby industries and housing are shown in Figure
1. Power and steam are probably supplied by a large thermal power plant
0.5 nm north of the plant.
The following is a comparative analysis of the probable diesel engine plant
depicting the expansion and activity of this facility from
25
This mission provided poor quality non-stereo photography of the
plant. No indications of activity were noted. Several piles of material,
possibly sand and coal, were observed near several heat-processing buildings
(Items 11 and 12,'Figure 2), and the steam plant (Item 10).
This mission was also of poor quality and provided no evidences
that the plant was in operation. There were no noticeable changes in the
level of stored materials previously noted.
Obliquity and haze precluded a detailed photo analysis; however,
a wall (Item A, Figure 2) had been built along the eastern boundary of the
plant and enclosed buildings 19 and 21 which were previously located outside
of the plant proper.
No smoke/vapor or vehicles were seen within the plant, although
light activity could have been hidden by haze and obliquity.

No evidences of activity were apparent. A few probable crates
were observed northeast of two shop buildings (Items 4 and 5).
Construction of a small probable storage addition (Item B) to the
forge/foundry (Item 3) had begun. The number of crates previously noted
did not appear to change. There continued to be a lack of evidences of
activity.
The probable storage addition to the forge/foundry was complete
and 18 to 20 crates were observed west of the two small shops (Items 4 and
5) near the northern boundary. No smoke/vapor was noted.
Vapor was observed for the first time in the vicinity of the
steam control building (Item 7). No other signs of activity were seen.
Four or five crates were observed in the storage area previously noted.
Heavy vapor was again observed at the steam control building.
There appeared to be a general haze over buildings 1, 2, and 3, but the
source of the probable smoke could not be determined. Twenty to twenty-five
crates were observed in the northern storage area near buildings 4 and 5.
3.
No smoke or vapor was observed within the plant. Four buried
tanks at the fuel blending station (Item 14) were uncovered since the last
mission. Eighteen crates measuring approximately d
eleven much smaller crates were observed east of Item k. Heavy vapor was
observed from building no. 7; no other activity was noted.
Uprights for a second probable storage addition (Item c) to the
forge/foundry (Item 3) were in place. No smoke/vapor was apparent.

An addition (Item D) to the northwest corner of building No. 1
was completed since This new section may be for storage; the
rail line serving the main building enters near this addition. A second
addition, a small support type building, was completed just west of the
forge/foundry. There are approximately fifteen crates north of building
No. 5 and there may be other materials stored east of the fuel-blending
station.

KFigure 2).
There was no significant change in plant facilities. There continued
to be an absence of smoke or vapor from the production buildings and the
number of crates observed, in the storage area north of building No. 5
increased from fifteen to twenty-five.
