1, Background
The reconstruction of the Ursus Mechanical Works (Zaklady Mechaniczne -
Ursus) was completed in 1947, in URSUS, a city about 10 kilometers west of WARSAW (see
Annex A for pinpoint location). It was built to produce tractors for agriculture and
forestry, and prime movers for industry. These tractors, called "Ursus," were powered by
45-hp engines, also produced there.
When the original design for the Ursus was made, little consideration was
taken of the best type of tractor for Polish needs. Soon after WW II, the Soviet influ-
ence in Polish industry was well established ands as a result, the heavy Ursus tractor
was scheduled for production. Even though it was soon evident that it was too heavy and
too powerful for Polish needs, nothing was done to alter the production because increased
Soviet influence resulted in fear to speak out aganst a Soviet-oriented production.
With Gomulka?s rise to power in 1956, however, and the return of private
ownership of farms, which greatly reduced the average size of farms, the actual needs of
the country became more important than the senseless production of impractical tractors.
The Polish engineers felt free to speak out against the continued production of the 45-
hp Ursus, and plans were made for the production of a much smaller tractor which would be
more practical in Poland.

2. Production
a Production From 1947 to 1958
50X1-HUM
During the period 1947 to 19589 the Ursus plant produced about 60,000
45-hp tractors. Although the plant had a production capacity of 69000 tractors yearly,
it. ribrely nroduc:ed more than 59500. In 19529 it produced only 4,000 tractors
The Ursus plant produced a.l parts of the tractor including the
engines. The production of tractor chassis and engines was about equal, and the figures
in this report reflect complete tractor units (chassis and engine). These tractors
were the only product of the factor^y9 there had never been any attempt to produce bull-
An7p?-q or tank anaines at this lant.
Since 1958.9 the production of the 45-hp Ursus has been on the decrease
because of the start of production of a new, lighter model, the 25-hp Ursus,
k Production Since 1958
In 19589 the Ursus plant started the production of the new 25-hp Ursus
tractor, This new production was to replace the old production completely by 1962 or
1963. Included in this new production was to be a small hand, single-axle cultivator for
use on very small plots of around and small farms. By 1963, it was planned to produce
2,000 hand cultivators yearly.
These changes in production were to be gradual, with as little effect
on employment as possible. The plan was as followsg in 1958, only 300 of the new 25-hp
tractors were to be produced and 2000 of the old 45-hp tractors; in 19599 it was planned
to produce 2000 25-hp tractors and from 800 to 1000 of the old type; and by 1960, all
production of the old 45-hp tractors would be stopped and about 5,000 of the new tractors
oduced. Anti psi hated product for forth*- years 1961 and 1962 was unknown but

cultivators yearly, no cc!ncrete Information about the prices of the 50X1-H U M
tractors and hand cultivators but stated that the old. tractor sold for about 60,000 zlotys
and that the new one would sell for about half that price, no information about
the price for the hand cultivators but was sure that it would be reasonable so that many
peasant farmers would be able to buy them. Since the government expected these new trac-
tors and hand cultivators to help incraese farm output considerably, it would be foolish
for them to price them out of reach of toe many farmers.
3. Expansion of
the Ursus Plant Since 1956
In preparation for the new increased production at the Ursus plant, expan-
sion started in 1956. no detailed information about this expansion

duction within the factory portion cif the plant, partly for convenience

4. Labor Force
The Ursus plant employed about 4000 people in December 31-958 or. three shifts-,
the first shift, about 2500 workers, worked from 0600 to 1400 hours; the second shift,
about 1000 workers, worked from 1400 to 2200 hours, end the third shift, the smallest,
made up of about 500 workers, worked from 2200 to 0600 hours. All three shifts worked six
days a week.
50X1-HUM
t:.f the 4000 employees about 400 were engineers and
technicianso 2000 were skilled. .a or?ers-, 400 were administrative personnel, and about 1.200
were unskilled laborer, s. There were about 800 women employed at the plant.
50X1-HUM
The morale of the workers was customarily high at Ursus. It was a large,
modern factory and it played an important role In Po1end? s economy, all of which added to
the workers' prestige. no information on wage scales bust
they compared favorably with other laxgee faot,orles in Poland.
by 1960 only 3500 workers would be needed. to operate it on a full-scale basis.
This meant that there was to be a cut of 500 in t;hP total employment of 1956. This cut
was made possible by the improvements in the plant operation, such as installation of new
modern machines, more efficient work organization,, and general mechanization of the plant.
Distribution of End :items
most of the production was used. in the aarieultural industry. not
no
know whether Poland exported any Ursus tractors but in 1958
there were many (several hundred) 45-hp Ursus tractors standing idle on t e
plant grounds, so
there was no real shortage of this type in Poland.
150X-HUM
before GOMULKA came to power in 1956, the Ursus w ~
almost forced on the Polish consumers. Since that time, however, the consumers could
choose which type of tractor they wanted and were generally free to spend what money they
had on what they wanted. This had obviously influenced the nroduction of tractors and
the decision to change the type of Ursus. Much more emphasis was being placed on con-
sumer demand than ever before. This was true not only with tractors but in all phases of
production. No longer was the old premise that "what was good for the USSR was also good
6. Sources of Raw Material:
Much of the metal used. in the production et the Ursus plant came from metal
works (huty) in Silesia (names and locations unknown). The iron ore was imported. mainly
from the USSR and China and some from~~ Quantities and cost of these imports were
unknown 50X1-HUM

7. Foundry Facilities at Ursus
The Gray Cast Iron Foundry (Odiewnia Zeliwa Szarego)
The cast iron foundry was located in one of the largest buildings on
the factory grounds, a red brick, three-section building, about 120 by 50 by 5 m (first
section), 10m (second section),and 7m (third section) (for sketch of the building see
Annex B). Annexed to the northeast side of the building was the foundry materials stor-
age house (magazyn materialow formierskioh), a red brick building about 60 by 25 by 9 m.
There was a series of large concrete bins, used for the storage of sand, clay, and other
foundry materials, in the building. The northern end of the storage building was open,
and the railroad track entered, running the full length of the building. There was an
50X1-HUM
The foundry was equipped with four cupola-type foundry furnaces
(zeliwiaki odlewnieze) with a combined capaoity of 12,000 tons yearly. In 1958 the
foundry was not producing at full capacity and probably would not until 1961 or 1962,
when all the expansion and reorganization of the entire plant was completed. (See Annex
B for approximate location and organization of the sections within the foundry).
t Aluminum Foundry at the Ursus Plant (Odlewnia Aluminum)
The aluminum foundry was located in a building of steel construction,
about 60 by 50 by 6m. The walls of the building were covered with sheet metal (see
Annex C for sketch of the building). At the south end was a 2-story part, about 12 by
50 by 10 m, of gray cement brick, which was used for the foundry offices. All three
foundries (cast iron, aluminum, and bronze) had their offices in this building. A rail-
road spur was located on the west side of the building; all the foundry materials such
as sand, clay, and ore were transported by rail to the foundry. The western portion of
the building was used for storage of foundry materials (see sketch in Annex C). There
were large concrete storage bins located in this section (number and dimensions unknown).
The foundry was equipped with 10 oil-burning crucible furnaces wit 50X1-HUM
capacities of 250 kg of aluminum (or 100 kg of bronze), and one induction furnaoe with a
capacity of 250 kg. They were located in a straight line, running north and south,
through the entire le th of the foundry (see Annex C). The internal organization of the
foundry was wn
In 1958, the total production capacity of the foundry was 1500 tons
yearly. Not all of this production was for the Ursus plant, but was partly for Ursus,
partly for the manufacture of mining machines, but mostly for the automotive industry.
The electric sub-station for the aluminum and cast iron foundry was
located at the north end of the building.
The Bronze Foundry at Ursus (Odlewnia Stopu Miedzi)
The bronze foundry was located in a red brick building, about 35 by

10 by 8 m, which had a pitched roof with a skylight running the full length (see Annex
D for sketch). A rail spur, on the west side of the foundry, was used to transport
foundry materials such as sand, clay, and others to the foundry. The foundry materials
storage area was located in the western side of the building and the furnaces were 50X1-HUM
arranged in a single row adjoining the storage area (see Annex D). There were concrete

much of the bronze was transported to the automotive factory in ZERAN, near WARSAW.
Plant Layout and Description
50X1-HUM
The Ursus plant was located in flat, open terrain with a total area of
about 300,000 sq iI* It was easily aceessibl-e and conveniently served by the main rail-
road line from WARSAW to PRUSZKOW. The entire area, with the exception of about 300 m
on the southern boundary, was enclosed by a heavy wire fence about 2 m high; the other
300 m was enclosed by a brick fence, also 2 m high. There were two entrances for foot
traffic and one for the rail spur; all three were guarded by factory security personnel,
to whom passes had to be shown in order to gain entrance.
less than half of the terrain was built on, leaving
ample room in the event of further expansion. 50X1-HUM
