ties, the railroad-owned ballast works at Rathwic has been ordered to
manufacture 200,000 single concrete ground plates (Botoneinselstuetson).4
This order requires the delivery of 2,000 tons of cement and 750 tons of
rod iron. As the procurement of the rod iron is difficulty the 25X1
0coperation of all the regional railroad headquarters in the procurement
of this material. Rod iron 12.5 and 6mm. thick, which can be embedded In
concrete, is required. Slight deviations are possible.. The procured
Material will be dispatched to the ballast works at Rothwich and will be
paid for by the Schwerin regional railroad headquarters.
1. Comment. The tabulation shows that deliveries of materials to the
Soviet Zone Railroad are very slow and remain behind schedule. This
applies particularly to Mannew.nn tubes which are urgently required for
repair work on loc?otives.
2? L__._10=at. According to previous information, the output of the
railroad-owned tie processing plants during one shift was as follows:
Zernsdorf 6413 ties, Wuelknitz 1300 ties Eagelsdorf 700 ties, and
Neudietendorf 300 ties-
3. ~ -Jalmente Cannot be further identified to available reference
material.
4. I pomment. The use of single concrete ground plates, Which are laid
10 t' dinal,ly? reduces the' number of ties required by about one-third,,
i.e..' for 1 lam. of track more than 500 ties would be saved. Previously,
concrete ground plates, which are about 100 centimeters long, were
installed oaely on auxiliary tracks at railroad stations or on secondary
lines. The information indicates that they are to be used on main lines
also.
