MECHANIZATION INCREASES MINE OUTPUT -- Slowo Polskie, No 57,'26 fcb 50
A conference of leading shock-workers was-held recently at the Prezydent
Mine in Chorzow to discuss mechanization of loading and transport operations
in coal mines, one of the basic problems of the coal industry in the Six-Year
Plan.
The Prezydent Mine in outstanding for its speedy conversion to mechaniza-
tion. Mechanically mined coal constitutes 22 ?percent of the mine's total pro-
duction.
The cutting machine, and the loading machine known as the . Duck's Bill,
both manufactured in the USSR were explained by the workers. It was reported
that coal output in the gallery increased fivefold after the machines were in-
stalled.
One cutting machine can be used at two faces simultaneously, greatly in-
creasing the output and decreasing manual labor.
MAPS MECHANIZATION PROGRAM -- Zycie Olsztynskie, No 70, 11 Mar 50
The PKPG (State Economic Planning Commission) Committee for Technical Ad-
vancement recently passed several important resolutions.
Cranes and me=hanical loading devices will be installed in trensport.to
reduce time-consuming manual labor and to reduce the manufacture of closed
freight cars, thus releasing necessary lumber for the manufacture of packing
cases, etc.
Forestry operations will be mechanized to speed delivery oflumber Ltoht
lumber mills, plywood factories; and mining and building enterprises.
electric saws of Soviet manufacture driven by gas generators and using wood
scraps for fuel will be installed, and tractors will be used to tear down and
haul the lumber.

Guiding principles for the organization of the pre-fabricated materials
industry for urban and rural construction will be worked out by mid-1950.
IMPROVE METAL CUTTING -- Wolna Trybuna, No 8, 22 - 28 Feb 50
Workers of of the Stalin Metalworking Plants have responded widely to the ap-
peal for increased vlabor competition in cutting metals with hard slloys. The
response was particularly good in the machine tool and automatic machine plants.
Wages increased by 50 percent.
Production of bicycle wheel hubs in the automatic machines plant has in-
creased 50 percent, and the ulant's total output. has risen 30 percent.
Stefan Leszczyk, a worker in the FX metal shop, has invented a new pro-
cess for cutting trapezoidal threads which is a great improvement over the
previous method. Instead of adjusting the cutting tool four times in succes-
sion, he invented a setting which holds two blades instead of one and reduces
the cutting time by half.
Another example of technical progress is the improved method of cutting
threads on retaining caps for thrust bearings.
