SEEKS POWER-LOSS CORRECTION -- Avtomobil'naya Promyshlennost', No 3, Mar 50
Pressure feed has proved to be of some value in correcting the power loss
which is suffered when internal-combustion engines are converted from gasoline
to generator-gas fuel. In the past, this power loss has seriously hampered the
use of gas-generator trucks and automobiles.
Experiments have shown that in pressure Feeding the calorific value of the
mixture remains constant. The engine power, rate of injection, and specific
weight of the mixture are favorable affected.
The system may be pressurized by locating the charger either in front of
the generator or behind it. When the charger is in front, it delivers the air
into the generator and mixer. When behind, it sucks air and fuel mixture into
the engine from the generator. Experiments have indicated that the front posi-
tion is preferable, since there is less tendency for the charger to clog dur-
ing operations. The use of the above pressure system requires that the genera-
tor be solidly constructed.
EXAMINES COLD-START FACTORS -- Avtomobil'naya Promyshlennost', No 3, Mar 50
It has been shown that initial fuel ignitability in a cold motor is
largely dependent on the inductive and capacitive components of the ignition
spark discharge. If the start is to be good, the ignition system must not only
develop sufficiently high secondary tension (10-12 kilovolts), but also produce
a spark discharge of sufficiently powerful inductive and capacitive components.

The ignition system must be so designed that during the start the
primary drop in tension at the terminal of the spark plug will be compen-
sated for, and a sufficiently powerful spark discharge thus assured. The
GAZ-51 and ZIS-150 trucks and the M-20 automobile have ignition systems
answering these requirements.
URGE ADOPTION OF NEW SPEEDOMETER -- Avtomobil'naya Promyehlennost', No 3,
Mar 50
The Vladimir Avtopribor Plant is currently putting out five types of
speedometer, three for automobiles and two for bicycles. These have not
been technically coordinated with one another, with the result that the
making of tools and the setting of automatics and presses is complicated
and inefficient. Getting conveyer-belt production of parts or assembly of
speedometers under way is being seriously hampered by the situation.
All the models currently produced are unsatisfactory in that it is im-
possible to check or regulate the clearance between the coil and the magnet.
The speedometers have inadequate rotation moment, necessitating the use of
weak co~mteraction springs. This in turn causes the needle indicator to waver,
especially when the car is running at low speeds. All foreign-made speedom-
eters suffer from this defect.
However, there is available to the plant a speedometer which is free of
these defects. It was invented during 19+8 by N. P. Shcherbakov, a mechanic
at the Avtopribor Plant. The speedometer has a ring-shaped magnet which is
small in diameter but very wide. The coil has s high rotation moment, which
permits the use of powerful spiral springs with a twist moment of not less than
800 milligram-centimeters at 90 degrees. Springs currently in use have a twist
moment of only 200-50G milligram-centimeters.
The new speedometer consumes less material in manufacture, particularly
in nonferrous metals. Its base, for example, is made of zinc alloy and weighs
only 97 grams as compared with 192 grams in the old models. It is solid, com-
pact, durable, and reliable. The fact that this model can be made in three com-
plete and separate units makes its manufacture on a conveyer belt extremely con-
venient.
PRIZE-WINNING WELDING MACHINES IN USE AT ZIS -- Sovetskaya Litva, No 65, 15 Mar 50
The Moscow Automobile Plant imeni Stalin is already using the new high-
duty automatic welding machines, the development of which won K. A. Kalachev
the Stalin Prize. The machines are employed in the welding of truck cabs.
PUTS OUT UNIVERSAL FORK LIFT -- Pravda Ukrainy, No 68, 21 Mar 50
The Moscow Experimental Plant of the Ministry of Automobile and Tractor
Industry has begun series production of a new universal fork lift. This machine
is designed for loading and unloading all sorts of construction materials and
machines. The leads can be piled 9 meters high.
The fork lift has a lifting capacity of 5 tons and a maximum speed of 35
kilometers per hour. It is mounted on the base of the rear axle of the ZIS-150
truck. Its motor is the same type as in the GAZ-5i truck.

The new fork lift can be equipped with a special bucket for handling
loose loads. The bucket has a volume of 1.5 cubic meters.
SUGGESTIONS GET ON-THE-SPOT CONSIDERATION -- Leningradscaya Pravda; No 69,
22 Mar 50
Last year, the number of inventers and rationalizers in Leningrad plants
increased almost It times. More than 150,000 suggestions for mechanization,
improvement in the quality of products, and economy in materials were sub-
mitted. This was the result of better organization of the efforts of inventers
and rationalizers by way of conferences, monthly collection of suggestions,
contests, and public inspections. A contributing factor was the formation of
complex brigades, i.e., inventers and rationalizers, which will play an impor-
tant role in the future.
At the Leningrad Carburetor Plant imeni Kuybyshev, the number of inventers
and rationalizers last year increased lz times. The application of their sug-
gestions increased savings 4.5 times. In this plant every suggestion approved
is entered in the shop`s schedule, and orders are given for its implementation
within a specified time. Shop chiefs are required to give a monthly account
regarding the realization of such suggestions. These proposals are examined
by a committee of experts directly in the shop concerned in the presence of
the authors, so that any kind of evasion becomes impossible.
URGES BETTER LABOR CONDITIONS, IMPROVED WAGE SCALE -- Avtomobil'naya Promyshlennost',
No 3, Mar 50
A condition for the successful fulfillment of the tasks before the automo-
bile and tractor industry in 1950 is better labor organization and, as a corol-
lary, a better wage scale, since the planned increase in production is to be
achieved mainly through an increase in labor productivity.
The introduction of new techniques calls for more highly qualified personnel
and, therefore, a radical reorganization of the labor and wage system. An essen-
tial step in this connection is the improvement of the work station. Experience
at the Moscow Automobile Plant imeni Stalin shows that every effort in this direc-
tion results in a production spurt. Therefore, it is necessary to organize
special groups in plants for the improvement of the workstation.
Another important measure is the elaboration of a scientifically grounded
norm of output, especially with respect to secondary workers, who outnumber
by far the production workers and whose norms have been determined hitherto in
a haphazard fashion. The realization of this objective would result in more
regular production and the elimination of last-minute speed-up.
However, the most important means of raising labor productivity is a proper
wage system. Although the majority of the ministry's plants ended 1949 on the
credit side with respect to wage disbursements, there were a number of instances
where the same wages were paid to skilled and unskilled workers, or where those
working under difficult conditions received the same pay as those working under
favorable conditions. Such inequalities are inadmissible.

Moreover, wages must at all times be in proportion to the output. Plant
directors, shop chiefs, and labor experts must make it their daily duty to
supervise the enforcement of the wage scale. There must be rigorous computa-
tion of output of individual workers; irregularities of any nature must be
ruled out.
Particular responsibility rests with the norm computer and foreman, who
must see to it that the norms are strictly observed.
AUTO PLANT LAGGING -- Trud, No 66, 17 Mar 50
The Moscow Low-Power Automobile Plant is not fulfilling its plans, employs
last-minute speed-up methods, and has frequent stoppages. Workers do not re-
ceive the shift, 10-day, or monthly plans. In many shops there is no system
of individual socialist obligations.
BICYCLE PLANT FAILS TO UTILIZE POTENTIAL -- Sovetskaya Litva, No 69, 22 Mar 50
At the "Sarkana zvaygzne" Plant, production of bicycles has risen 70
percent within the last year. However, the plant's potentialities are not
being fully exploited. For instance, in the prefabrication shop, five machine
tools stand unutilized. The plant party organization is to blame for failing
to take the initiative.
KUTAISI AUTO PLANT EXPANDS -- Vokrug Sveta, No 6, Jul 47
Kutaisi, an ancient city numbering only'~39,000 people before the war,
with only 54 small-scale enterprises employing not more than 200 workers, is
growing into an industrial center as a result of the building of the Kutaisi
Automobile Plant, which covers an area of 75 hectares. The plant's machine
and assembly shop, alone, with its chassis and motor sections and main conveyer,
covers 4 hectares.
