  1. Most of this equipment comes from the '60s...'80s, and the Comecon (Council of Mutual Economic Assistance) made sure the industries in different countries of the Eastern bloc got the gear they needed, if it couldn't be made domestically. So, apart from our own machines, we had Soviet, GDR, Czechoslovak or Hungarian stuff. If the Comecon couldn't cover the needs, then Western machines were imported.

  2. Mighty interesting! The Łucznik works used to be much larger, making not only weapons, but also bicycles (including the "PWU typ XX wz.35" military bike from the interbellum and WWII times) and sewing machines. I see the "Fire in the hole!" treated VERY literally here :)
