Jan Czochralski, who played an important role in the development of the armed forces of the Second Polish Republic. At the same time, it has been noted that the activities of the institutes were conditioned by the poor development of non-ferrous metallurgy, which contributed to delays in the development of technical thinking in the field of aviation and combustion engines, an important element of the armed forces.
