15 NEW TYPES SCHEDULED FOR 1950 -- Leningradskaya Pravda, No 298, 20 Dec 49
During 1949, the Leningrad Automatics Plant began production of the follow-
ing new types of machinery: automatic long-bed lathes, automatic turret lathes,
semiautomatic machines for milling twist drills, and a variety of special auto-
matic machines for the automobile, metallurgical, and other industries. At
present, the plant is assembling a new high-duty automatic machine, type 11-36,
which will be put out by 21 December.
The efficiency of the plant is such that it can turn out a new automatic.
within 12 months after receipt of the blueprints. For example, it recenlty
produced in 112 months a complex wire-drawing machine which turns out 0.08-0.02
millimeter wire at the rate of 25 meters per minute.
In comparison with 1945, gross production has increased fourfold and the
range of products has increased 12 times. At the same time, the plant's per-
sonnel increased only 20 percent.
In 1950, the production of automatic machine tools will be six times
greater than at the beginning of the Five-Year Plan. Moreover, never, larger,
and more complex machine tools will be put out. Automatic long-bed lathes for
machining parts up to 25 millimeters in diameter, and automatic turret lathes
for machining parts up to 36 millimeters in diameter, will be produced on a
large scale. The production of special and single-purpose machines for the
metallurgical, toolmaking, automobile, and radio industries will be increased
1z times. Altogether, the plant will put. out 15 new types of automatic machine
tools. -- P. Khizhnyak, director, Leningrad Automatics Plant

NEW THREAD-CUTTING MACHINE -- Komsomol'skaya Pravda, No 307, 29 Dec 49
The Krasnyy proietariy Plant has produced an experimental thread-cutting
machine tool, the new "1620." It includes a copying machine as part of the
unit.
Distinguishing features of the machine are the substitution of push buttons
for cranks and levers, and the use of lighted dials to indicate performance
rates. When a button on the carriage is pressed, for example, the rate of
spindle revolutions changes, the velocity showing on one of the lighted dials
1,500, 1,700, 2,000, 2,500 revolutions per minute, and so on.
Sovetskaya Litva, No 12, 14 Jan 50
Machine-assembly shop No 2 of the Moscow Krasnyy proletariy Machine-Tool
Building Plant has begun manufacture of parts for the new high-speed "1620"
machine tool.
TO SERIES-PRODUCE NEW TOOLS -- Pravda, No 362, 28 Dec 49
The Gor'kiy Machine-Tool Building Plant nas manufactured the first group
of new-design high-speed bracket-milling machines which will go into series
production in 1950.
Designers have also developed large machine tools-to meet requirements of
advanced machine-building techniques. Machine-tool control has been made auto-
matic. Several complex machine tools can be serviced by one operator.
The first group of new tools was designed and built in 4 months.
DESIGN IMPROVED GRINDING MACHINE -- Moskovskiy Bol'shevik, No 271, 18 Nov 49
Tiro engineers of the Kharkov Plant imeni Molotov, Soloshchenko and Goroshko,
have designed a grinding machine which does not exceed the dimensions of existing
machines of this type, but which will grind the internal races of bearings twice
as fast as previous machines.
NEW CUT-OFF LATHE -- Vechernyaya Moskva, No 292, 12 Dec 49
The Srednovolzhskiy Machine-Tool Plant, Kuybyshev Oblast, is about to begin
production of a newly designed cut-off lathe and a semiautomatic lathe.
NEW MACHINES PRODUCE FINISHED CASTINGS -- Leningradskaya Pravda, No 306, 29 Dec 49
The Leningrad Tool Plant has built new moulding machines which make parts
for complex tools. The machines turu out the parts in a finished state requir-
ing no trimming or machining.
A fitter at the Moscow Tool Plant designed a noiseless high-power exhaust
fan. A special commission, appointed by the Ministry of Machine-Tool Building
USSR, approved the design. The new fans have been installed in the plant's
ships and in a number of other enterprises in Stalinskiy Rayon, Moscow.

PLANT PUTS OUT NEW MACHINE TOOLS -- Leninskoye Znamya, No 6, 8 Jan 50
The Macaw Krasnyy proletariy Plant has started series production of the
universal high-duty 1A62 machine tool, whose spindles revolve twice as fast
as those of earlier models. In respect to these machine tools, the plant
exceeded the 1949 plan ten times.
The plant has also put out the following new types of machinery: a two-
position semiautomatic machine for machining automobile and tractor crankshafts,
an eight-spindle semiautomatic machine, a semiautomatic machine for the machin-
ing of carbon electrodes; and A number of other high-duty machine tools.
