1, Before Sovrcm metal took over the Resits, plant the Soviet authorities
confiscated. all stocks in the factory with the exception of the materiel
which remained as a result of old armaments orders. This materiel was
inventoried and placed under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Armed
Forces, Among other objects were forged parts, bored barrels, wheels,
etcetera, necessary for the manufacture of antitank guns (75 mm),
20 Resita is authorized to manufacture antitank guns (75 mm) even though
its production is supposed to be orientated toward piece work, It was
granted this concession because of its great success in manufacturing
the gun during the war and the fact that there is a large stockpile of
finished and semifinished parts left over,
3 Toward the middle of 1952 Resita began the manufacture of compressors
(or superchargers), It has been confirmed that these compressors are
reserved for the Ministry of Armed Forces,
