In early August 1955, technicians in the Architecture Section were planning the
rebuilding of the kitchen of an existing canteen for 1,000 workers in a Mining
Object. Another project was the planning of a washroom for 35 men, also in a
Mining Object. 3, 4
5. At the beginning of September 1955, the following projects were being worked on
in the Technical section: 3
a. The planning of a conveyor belt bridge (Forderbruecke) for the pithead of
Schacht 367, located in the Ronneburg, Thuringia.. area, This is a fully auto-
matic installation designed to classify the ore coming to the surface in mine
cars; to empty the ore into bunkers; to wash the mine cars; and to return them
underground. Two winding engines, drum diameter 6,500 m.m,, will be required
and will probably be ordered from VEB Ma.schinenbau Nordhausen. It is estimated
that the planning of this installation will occupy ten men for about eight
weeks, 5
b. Planning the foundations (Pundamente) for the winding engine for the new haul-
ing Schacht of Object 9, Schacht 366 at Alberoda. Most of the work on the plan-
ning of this project has already been done; however some minor tasks remain.
The winding engines at this Schacht are to be one 5,500 m.m. diameter endless
pulley t e (Koeperscheibe) and one 6,500 m.m. diameter drum type (Tromm.el
)Taschz4e) .
c. Planning the foundations for a project for the enlargement of Zeche 10 of Object
101. The major part of the work on this project is completed.
~omments: 25X1

This is not a complete list of projects,
4. A project being worked on by the Third Administration has an order number which
might be used for any section of the administration, In some cases, the individ-
ual designer is not told for which Object the project is to be prepared,
5 The Object for which this project is being planned is not known., but it is as-
sumed that it is Object 90, or perhaps, Object 11, both of which are in Thuringia.
