22ae Industrial Exhibition in Ta-lien, occupying 10 acres of grounds,
has more than 160 kinds of products Prom matches to ships and locomotives
on d!.~pl.ay. Thin Exhibition revaals the grogrees made in the restoration
of plants a:[3 production during the 3 years since liberation.
Displays from the basic industries of iron, steel, and machia?ry,
include recision tools, accurate u*lthin O.C1 to 0.02. mil7.imeters. 'T'here

~:arious factories, such as the Ta-lien N.achine Works. T.`.e latter is .apa-
hie of producing in a Year ever 1,On0 carbon electrodes, which are indis?-
pen:;ible in the ~aa?.xw:ct~:re ?.9f steel. and vh1G'? cost 200,000 ;van in

0thEr factories are producing ':orizoatal e3:d vertical hydrhu~i.::
presses which :.an exert pressures up to 1,ttJO tons. All kiuds of mining
machinery and equipment including excavators, conveyors, crushers, selec-
tors, ar.1 drill points sse also being made. For use in chemical industry
plants, crucibles, acid resistant pipes, pumps, sad kettles are being pro-
duced. The productive capacity of electa?ic motors of all sizes and for
all purposes is double that of 1947. The productive capacity of our metal-
working shops is nearly three times that of 19~? Our Production of steel
is his percent: greater than that under the Japanese regime in the Ilortheast.
"'here is en exhibitions 1.33-ton piece of noncorrosive steel, a material
that is needed in chemical industries, as well ss many types oP carbon
steel, spri.ig steel, and special tool steels. Steel plants are able to
produce an alloy having a hardness of 9.5 on Moh's scale. This steel
ahoy 1s suitab~e for cutting edges, drills, dies fir wire-drawing, etc.
7.r. the 7s-Lien area, there arc nine large steel t;il~s, machine shops, and
me''.al-working factories, which are the bnckbon^ cf all i'a-lien industries.
It t~ possible io manufactttre in Ta-lien all locomotive parts t-ith
the exception of the driving wheels, the main chassis, and boiler f:ues.
