1. The Electromotor Factory (formerly Friederich) has been enlarged through
the acquisition of some new machinery and some taken from other factories.
It produces electric motors and transformers and is located in Timisoara,
12 Calea Republica, near the station. The factory employs a total of 500
clerks and workers.
2. The factory has several branches which enable it, with the exception of
raw materials, to be largely selfsustaining. The iron foundry produces
engine casings from scrap iron. They are cast in wooden moulds. Finish-
ed casings are also supplied by the Electroprecizia Factory at Craiova.
Metal matrices serve for the casting of engine parts; the casting moulds
are made by the tools section of the factory. Two shifts are employed
for a work day of 16 hours. The iron foundry has two furnaces and two
cooling fans. Aluminum motor parts are cast in metal matrices made in
the tool shop. The bronze foundry works only occasionally. The tools
section of the factory produces matrices for the foundries and in ad-
dition various bakelite matrices for the Electrobanatul Factory in
Timisoara. One hundred men are employed in three shifts.
3. Equipment at the factory is composed of Rumanian, Czech, and Soviet
types. In general, the older machines are regarded as better than the
new ones.
4. The factory produces all-purpose electric motors of five or six h.p.
weighing about 200 kgs., and electric motors for mines. The latter
are small and have an iron protection case. It is believed they are
used in pumps. The total monthly production is between 700 and 800
pieces.
