1. The Nowotko Engineering Works (Zakladi Mechaniczr.e im. Nowotki), 1 cWed?at the
end of Wolska Street in Warsaw, has approximately 5,000 employees working iattVo
shifts, one of which is not a full complement. The plant produces Diesel eng
for tanks, tractors, ships, and drilling towers.

e. Mechanical Section No. 4 makes the changes necessary to:ad.pt.Diesel engines for
a particular purpose. Special treatment is.requtred toy reduce the number of
revolutions in the 124 (Orski) Diesel marine engine. Thisftgine, formerly called
3-D-6, must also be fitted with a special reverse gear. This section processes
the DT (formerly 1-D-6) engines for locomotives (silniki frakcyjne) and 2-D-6
engines for oil drilling towers. It.also produces pipes for fuel, oil, air, and
water systems.
3. The 1956 production of the NowotkoWorks was approximately 1,300 Diesel engines,of
which 600 were W-2 engines for the T-654 tank. (Fifty of these-W-2 engines were
specially equipped with a manual starter for emergency use under field conditions,
in addition to tkieusual electric and compressed air starters.) The remainder were
D-6 engines for locomotives, ships, drilling towers; and.L300 egines, which are
similar to the W-2 type.
4. The 1957 production program provided for the manufacture of the following engines:
a. 200 W-54 engines (also marked-S-3) for the T-54.
b. 300 W-2 engines.
c. 600 D-6 engines (including the D-6-S model with aluminum oil sumps for ships.).
d. 600 W-300 engines for locomotives, drilling towers, and power generators. It is
planned to export this model to China, Rumania, and elsewhere.
The factory expects to reach an annual production of 2,000 engines by 1959-60.
5. The percentage of defects in the production process is as follows:
a. 20-24 percent in iron casts.
b. 12-14 percent in aluminum casts.
c. 10-12 percent in mechanical and thermal treatment of crankshaft bearings.
d. 5-7 percent in mechanical and thermal treatment of crankshafts.
6. During recent months the NowotkQ Engineering Works has been planning the production of
a Diesel engine based on original technical documentation. The new engine, however,
is actually a copy of the 'Parkins engine, with only slight changes being ioduced.
The new engine weighs 1,400 kg..and is to be installed in 120 419. trucks.
7. The Nowotko plant receives parts from other ~P sh factories as follows:
a. Casts from the Becton Pokoj andLabedlly foundries.
b. Forge products (odkowki), including crankshafts and all cogwheels, from the Labedy
plant.
c. Fuel pumps, injectors, oil pumps and filters from the Czerniakow Mechanical. Works,
Warsaw, for the production of the W-54 engine.
d. Rubber products and gaskets from rubber factories in-Krakow and P~astow..
e. Water pumps from a water meter factory in Torun (Thorn).
