Holesovice
34. From the information on file in the IR it is possible
to arrive at the existence of three fairly distinct installations:
25X1X7 The rirst Is cited by reports as being located in
the bviidinge of the former Prague exhibition halls on U
Kralovska obory. However, all these reports refer to this
installatien by the name, Rudy Letcv III. As has been
mentioned above, Rudy Letov no longer exista as a combine,
and the listing for its successor makes no mention of a
plant in Holesovice. However, the address given above for
the main plant or Elecktrosignal is apereximately that of the
Prague exhibition halls. Are production activities taking
place in these former eahibition halle$ are any proAucta
discernible, and to which national enterprise does this
facility belong?
25X1X1
25X1X1
h, The second confirmed installation was known by the name
or the flodek Plant which manufactured aircraft accessories before
and during world War II. The plant wasnationalised, presumably,
to become 4 part of the ?AL Motor Vehicle and Aircraft Parts
interprise. This specific part of the installation iu placed by
all sourcee at 3 or 5 V Zavetri. The last officie.) mention of
this plant iswhich cities it
as part of theERVITRIJIIIRMilhose main offices
are in Modrany. There is no mentien of this installation under
herepal or any other enterprise, as far as we can determine:411111 25X1X1

produetion, what does it proluce? an, to welch national enter-
prise does it belong?
5. The third identifiable installation is in the block
formed oy the following streets in dolesovices U pruhonu an
the North, usedni on the test, Delnioka on the 3outh? and
Argentinska on the West. Current information on filo in the
IR, labels this facility either as rki"HoIesovice or just
plain aircraft or aircraft instruments plant. As has been
cited above,
