Scact acicntistc ha v-_ dc:c'oped 6 z ac -1 aYi-arat;;s, named ythe "stilo-
bkop," for spect:c-analysis of metals. The instrument determines in ferrous
metals the percent of 13 different elements, such as chromium, tvngbten, man-
ganese, vanadium, molybdenum, etc., and also analyzes various nonferrous al-
loys. This apparatus can be used for analysis of parts in naeembly and also
for observations in foundries during tom: -ocess or smelting, thereby pre-
-o~tiny da.feri:a in the melt, The anal"eie i.akes only 3 +.. r nInutes n the
"etiloskop" is so designed than it can be used under any plant conditions.
A laboratory assistant with general Itb-grn..nde education can, without special
traiA3.ug, learn t', nake analyses within one or 2 months. So,~1et plants are
r:s/ producing excellent instruments for spectro-analysis.

N- Lyubimov, assistant to the Chair of Physics, Kishinev State Univer-
sity, Moldavian SSR, points out that specs:ro-analysis of metals is not being
used by any metal-processing enterprises in the Moldavian SSR. The Moldavian
Council o? Scientific Engineering and Technical Societies has not taken any
measurer to organize spectro-analysis laboratories in Moldavia, despite the
fact that two -e in auuudant equipment for such laboratories in the material
and technical eupniv base of the Council of Mini_^tern Mo14vian PSR. ST.ertrn-
analysis laboratories ?.ght well be established in Kishinev, Tiraspol',
Bendery, and Bel-tsy.
The Plant n, Molotov in Moscow has used spectro-;naly-si.s ',o.regrade
thousenls of..%o f steel scrap and the Leningrad Plant imeni Kirov has on-
tirely ellmi ptmd production defects in smelting, which were formerly as high
as 30 percent, by using the "stiloskop." The Odessa spectro-analys:,c iebora-
tories make as many as 100 analyses per month for the automobile repair plant
of the Ministry of Automobile Transport (=). In Moscow, the "Serp i molot"
Metal:.urgical Plant has decided to organize a spectro.analysis laboratory in
its first open-hearth shop (2).
