INFORMATION ON A MACHINE-TOOL FACTORY IN BUDAPEST
The machine-tool factory is located in the 13th district of Budapest, Vaci
Avemqe,
Ut 19 (Vaci SOMik 19), and can be located more exactly to the sketch. Formerly
called "Salgotarjani Gepgyar" (Salgotarjan Machine-Tool Factory), it is now
called "Budapesti Szerszamgepgyar" in Hungarian. It was severely damaged in the
war and has only been in operation again since 1947.
W 1A *,,.^
The work force consists of about 1,300 employees, of Mimi one-fourth are
women. The work is done in two shifts, except for the foundry, where only one
shift works. There is no shortage of workers. On the contrary, the factory
operation is insufficient for the available work force. For that reason working
conditions are not favorable and the a erage wage is below the standard for this
type of work.
The factory is under civil administration, the superior state authority being
the Ministry of Mining and Machine Building. General manager of the thctory is
Communist Karoly Antal; party secretary is Istvan Szabo; trade union secretary
Sandor Racs, also a Communist; foundry manager is Jozsef Trammer, 1.
The production schedule is as follows:
1.) weekly, one turning lathe 150 centimeters long;
2.) daily, two turning lathes 120 centimeters long., received in semi-finished
state from the Kobanya Machine-Tool Factory, finished and then delivered to Kobanya;
3.) daily, two mechanics' bench vises, likewise delivered to Kobanya;

occur in the delivery of raw material, which comes principally from the M4/&
