The Textile and Auuiliary Machinery Factory (Faba ka Massys Iniarskich i
Pomeeaiozych), n1. Spacorwa 10, Szczecin (Stettin) -Sid 'ieiieui Oita (Lasdddhut )
was known as the State ptieteary for Aircraft Parts, No.2 (Panetwowe Wytwornia
Csesci Lotniea+yeh) in 1947. Presumably, the production of parts for aircraft
was planned, but this was never carried out. In 1948 the name was changed to
the Armament Equipment Factory (Vytweruia Sprzotu IIzbrojenia) at which time it
took ever the manufacture of military engineering equipment. Ia 1949, the cams
was changed to the Textile and uxi.liary Machinery Factory, presumably for
cover purposes.
Formerly, it was a German factory which produced iron doors for hangers, parts
for submarine hatches and bulkheads, Teller mines and V 1 parts during the last
war.
In.1951 the factory employed approximately 900 workers. Its production consisted
of.. the folleviaga
a. Ponteensa only 36 were produced between 1950 and the spring of
1951, and than. were all consigned to the military
commission of the Armed Forces.
b. Bridge constructionist produced in two parts for a bridge 250 m. long.
a. Parts for Ureus tractors (sand guards, bitten plates (Booden), seater
and verieus small parts for the frgms).
d. Drying installations for wool and flex.

4. Tn 1948 the productio* of sapper equipment was only in the trial stages. The
plans for pontoons and bridge constructions had been worked out by the Soviet
engineer, General Ovchinnikev.
5. Actual production of pontoons started in 1950, with primitive equipment. The
individual parts produced in the factory often did not fit together. Also, the
plans were-frequently altered during production. A fire engine pump was used
for pumping water in and out of the pontoons for water tightness tests. A
basin for such trials was not built until 1951. The dimensions of the pontoons
were as follows: length, 6 m.; width, 22 m.; thickness of sheet metal, 1' - in.
6. Simultaneously, with the start of pontoon productienybridge constructions were
put in hand after previous tests. Since then, and up to the spring of 1951,
parts for a bridge 250 meters long have been produced, the bridge being in two
parts. The bridge consisted of iron triangles 2.5 in. high with a 2 in. base.
(See attachec' sketch). All component parts of the bridge were welded. The
bridge was approximately 62 m. wide and the lead capacity was about 60 tons.
7. The buildings of the factory include a one-story carpentry shop, a main production
hall, 300 x 400 m. and a mechanical engineering shop, 100 x 300 M.
8. It is believed that this factory will be taken over by the army for the
production of war equipment.
