1. Production at Resita falls into two categories, the production of steel
and iron and the.manufacture of finished products
2. In 1951 Resita produced 18,000 tons of steel. This included 16,000 tons
of rolled steel and 2,000 tons of raw steel. Of the 16,000 tons-of
rolled steel, about 8,000 tons were reserved for manufacturing at Resita
and the rest went to other factories in Rumania. The 8,000 tons re-
served for Resita were divided into three sections:
a. 4,500 tons for finished products;
b. 2,500 to 3,000 tons for the investments plan and interior develop-
ment;
c. 500 tons for an undesignated.use.
The 4,500 tons for finished products may be further broken down as
follows:
a. 2,200-2,500 tons in finished products for delivery to the USSR in
accordance with the provisions, of the peace treaty and commercial
agreements. These manufactured goods are divided for shipment as
follows:
