MACHINE-TOOL INDUSTRY RIPORTS 3. ENBIVB SUCCESSES
STEED PRODUCTION OF SCREW-CUTTING LATHES -- Zarya Vostoka, No 172, 1 Sep 49
In the Tbilisi Mechanical Foundry, the mechanical assembly shop has be-
came outstanding for its achievements in the foundry's basic product, the T-4
turning and screw-cutting lathe. Its program has been doubled, and the work-
ere have pledged to complete it on time. At present, equipment is being in-
stalled for anode-mechanical grinding of cutters.
MOSCOW PIANT PUTS OUT NSW LATHE -- Moekovskiy Bol'ehevik, No 206, 1 Sap 49
The Moscow Machinery Plant has put out a new, high-speed surface-grind-
ing, boring and turning lathe. Its large table diameter (1,500 millimeters),
maziaal grinding capacity, ang high speed make it a tool of high precision
and productivity. It will find wide application in the metallurgical industry
and, in particular; in the grinding or circular saws, which was formerly done
by hand.
ABRASIVES PIANP IMPROVES TBCHNIQUSB -- Pravda, No 206, 1 soy 49
Great technological advances have recently been made in the "Il ich"
Abrasives Plant. Grinding wheels used to be produced in the form of ordi-
nary blocks which, after drying, were subjected to prolonged grinding nn a
lathe. This resulted in 30-40-percent lose of valuable corundum. According
to a new technique, the wheels receive the required eh.pe during the molding
process Itself. This has made it possible for the plant to improve the quality
of the wheels, reduce waate; and increase production.
The plant is metering the technique of: smelting corundum by adding titan-
oue substances; this technique improve4.the quality of the materials from which
the abrasives are produced. The method of producing wheels with high porosity
is also being metered. The quality of each wheels will be much higher than
in the past. The perfection of techniques has permitted the plant to triple
production in the past 2 years although the number of workers has remained the
same.

GIANT TOOLS BORE TRIC ENGINE CY-S -- Pommuniet, No 207, 2 Sep 49
The huge YR-10 boring machin=, 17 meters long and weighing 170 tons,
produced by the Leningrad Machine-Tool Building Plant imeni Sverdluv, was
tested on a steel pasting for electric engine cylinders. It attained a
cutting speed of 250 meters per minute. The first machine is destined for
the Bryanek Locomotive Plant.
The machine is equipped with 63 electric motors (electomashiny) and
bores the workplace from Loth aids simultaneously. The conventional cutter
has been replaced by a tide one which reduces the time for the perforation
of a cylinder 30-50 times.
More than twenty designers, directed by Stalin Prize Laureate M. H.
Elyaeb'arg, participated in the planning of"this machine. The chief designer
was A. I. Hir'yanov; another participating designs: was Stalin Prize laureate
P. G. Kogel.
Leningradekaya Pravda, No 213, 9 Sep 49
A now boring machine, Type 2631, has been developed at the leningrad
Plant imeni Sverdlov. It Is intended far boring locomotive cylinders. All
hand wheels have been replaced by a so-called electric operator" attach-
ment. Loading, clamping and machining of the part is automatic.
In addition to its automatic system of controls, this machine is the
first boring machine to be equipped with an optical attachment for inspecting
accuracy of parts being machined.
Imenitov, chief designer at the Leningrad Design Bureau of Machine-Tool
Building, gave high p"sise for this new giant of the Plant imeni Sverdlov.
*)I*L 1A309 DRILLING MACHINE -- Stanki i instrument, No 7, Jul 49
Thn Model 1A309 horizontal, quadrilateral four-spindle drilling machine
is intended for drilling, couaterboring, and reaming four holes from four dir-
ections in differential housings.
Dimansicize of the machine tool are., length, 4,100 millimeters; width,
4,100 millimeters; height, 1,250 millimeters; weight, 8 tons. The chief de-
signer was Hnetislav F111ppovich Novosad.
A88I0 TOOLS PERNAIOZNPLY TO OPERATORS Vechernyaya Moskva, No 209, 2 Sep 49
In connection with the campaign for cleanliness and culture in the
Zaporosh'ye Pump Plant imeni Voykhov, one of the workers in the machine shop
requested that her machine tools be assigned to her permanently and that this
be done officially, in writing. This, she explained, would prolong the life
of her tools and improve the quality of her poroducta. Her request was granted,
and subsequently all the other workers were given. this concession. Certifi-
oates, whi.h are transferable, are now. being issued to all. In m&V of the
shops, the areas around the machine tools are kept imaculately clean, and
the workers are more attentive to expenditure of raw materials and the wear
of the machines.

NEW CASTING MNi'KOD ROCKETS PRODUCTION -- Leninekaya Pravda, No 207, 2 Sep 49
Plant No 1 of the "Lengrzappuratura" Trust has introduced pressure cast-
ing in its shop. The product comas from the press clean and smooth, and re-
quires only a little trimming and polishing; its quality is beyond criticism.
The personnel work at a leisurely but efficient pace and regularly meet the
daily norm.
This method has reduced the cost of production many time. The shells
for cash registers are amplicated mechanisms, with many apertures, protru.
sions, facets, and depressions. Formerly, they were made of brass, a brittle
material which caused as much as 50-percent breakage. With the new method,
lose through breakage has been completely eliminated. It is possible to pro-
duce 700-800 such parts per day on one machine.
The production of clippers has became a very simple matter. This small-
but Intricate tool formerly required nine dies and different attachments, as
sell as a great deal of milling and filing. Breakage was often 30 percent.
At present, four clippers per half -minute are produced simultaneously In one
preesmiold. The effectiveness of this method is especially notable in the pro-
duction of such parts as the casing of a pressure gaup. Formerly, a skilled
worker could produce only two pieces In one shift; now, 200 such pieces are
produced in 4 hours. This plan resulted in one million rubles' above-plan pro-
fit to the plant during the first 6 months of 1949. Almost all parts are now
produced In this plant by the new method. In addition, this plant has made
many of its machine tools automatic. About 70 percent of production now takes
place an autceiatic machines.
PRODUCE SEIQ -DIESEL ENGINES -- Pravda Ukrainy, No 206, 1 Sep 49
The Bovograd-volynekiy Machine-Tool Building Plant is beginnin3 to
turn out one-cylinder, semi-Diesel engines. These are very economical:, can
develop up to 22 horsepower, and may replace tractor motors when the work Is
performed under stationary conditions.
JAMS GE! BEt?BE C00RSRS -- Moskovskiy Bolshevik, No 212, 8 Sep 49
The Machine Tool and Tool Institute seal Stalin has opened courses In
higher engineering. The courses are desiied to raise the qualifications
of managerial personnel of enterprises of the Ministry of )machine-Tool Build-
ing UM. The first class begins 1 October and will consist largely of man-
agerial personnel from Moscow enterprises.
