THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
1. During the war the Germans took over n" ny weaving nulls for military pxrrosea,
re! ovinrr and storing the looms. Since many of these loons ware danaged during;
either transit or storarv,, an order was issued in 1945 that all these loons
ware to be scrapped. Thus, many serviceable looms ':rare lost.
2. In 1946, Zbro jovkka Brno began the manufacttiro of automatic Ioorr; for weavin-
cotton. These looms contained a defect t?>h.ich becare apparent, hot>nver, only
uron their completion. Con,-idereabbe delay in textile prod Lotion. tine caused
by the need for nakin" char-ges in the looms after they had been delivered to
the .reavln7 mil-Is.
3. During 1947 and 191X v fur?iher delays occurred because of failure to obtain
shuttles and ,e. nsi nment of self threaeders which had beer o:- ered
4. Zbro iov'ca Brno has also undertaken the manufacture of Beninger looms for weaving
silk but the firm has so far been unsuccessful
Si.".
a u o e nom t produced have proven useless. 50X1-HUM
5. Dentnger looms are also 'D3inj produced by the former firms of Neumann of Pecka
near Nova Paka and foecher of Jirkov, and by a factory at Zandov near Coska
Lipa, but in these instances lack of experienced personnel has also caused delat*
in production and inferior wor'craanshir. P.oec?^er" s target of one hundred twenty
looms per Month, for example, has been realized only seventy percent.
6. Additional reasons for the failure of the textile industry to fulfill the two-
Year Plan are-.
a. ShortarTe of manpo er, largely - ire to the exrulsion o" the Sudeten Germans.
b. Inferior cgnlaity of cotton.
c. Shortage of grease and chemicals,
