ACHIEVEMENTS IN AGRICULTURAL-MACHINE BUILDING IN 1950 -- Moscow, Sel'khozmashina,
No 12, 1950
Soviet agricultural-machine building has made rapid strides in the last few
years. In 1950, the agricultural economy received 3.8 times more combines than
in 1940, 4 times more tractor plows, almost 6 times as many tractor seeders, and
more than 3 times the number of tractor cultivators. The range of machinery pro~?
duced has been extensively augmented.

The machine=building plants have been radically reorganized and supplied with
high duty equipment. In the more progressive plants, production takes place in
accordance with the conveyer method, operations are mechanized, and the most ad-
vanced techniques are employed, including heating by high-frequency currents, elec-
tric contact heating of billets for stamping, centrifugal and pressure casting,
casting from periodic rolled metal. high-speed metal cutting, and electric spark
machining.
In 1950, several hundred new combination and special machine tools were in-
stalled, more than the number installed in all the 3 preceding years. In the first
9 months of 1950, more than 100 new conveyers and conveyer lines were installed.
Twenty plants introduced centralized systems for the sharpening of tools. Paint-
ing of parts has been improved and mechanized. Dozens of plants mastered the method
of painting with heated paints.

has begun to use globular graphite for the production of super-durable iron.
The duration of the annealing phase in tempering forged iron has been reduced,
especially at the Zaporozh'ye Kommunar'Plant and the Frunze Plant imeni Frunze. The
range of parts that are cast in pe;.manent,metal forma has been increased. The Lyu-
bertsy Plant imeni Ukhtomskiy has mastered the method of gas cementing.

 The electric contact method of heating billets before stamping is receiving
ever wider application. Particular success has been achieved at the Altaysel'mash
Plant, where a whole series of equipment has been installed for this purpose in
connection with the production of tractor plows.
The Taganrog Self-Propelled Combine Plant is continually improving its machine
production. Recently, it mechanized the production line for the stamping of hook
chains. It has organized a metal-cutting laboratory which is concerned with im-
proving the methods of machining.
The Krasnaya Zvezda Plant is successfully mechanizing various phases of its
production.
However, there are a number of plants that are not giving due attention to the
introduction of new techniques. The Siberian A?ricultural-Machine Building Plaat
has not converted a single machine tool to high--speed operation in 1950. Even at
the Rostsel?mash Plant, combination machine tools are not used to full capacity.
The Stalino Plant imeni October Revolution has delayed the execution of the plan
,of the TsITM (Central Institute for the Organization of Labor and Mechanization
of Production) for mechanizing the manufacture of plowshares and moldboards.
DEPUTY MINISTER DIES -- Moscow, Izvestiya, 28 Nov 50
On 26 Nov 1950, Vasiliy Pavlovich Andreyev, Deputy Minister of Agricultural-
Machine Building Industry, died.
To further the mechanization of cotton-growing operations, the Chirchikeel'-
mash Plant has designed a universal cultivator-banker. This will be produced in
1951 not only by the Chirchik plant but also by other agricultural-machine building
plants in sufficient numbers to meet the economy's needs.
The Chirchiksel'mash Plant will also turn out universal ditcher-bankers, de-
signed by the Special State Design Bureau for Cotton, and cotton-pickers designed
by V. I. G~rbunov.
The Uzbeksel'mash Plant will produce suspension-type ditcher-graders for the
cotton-g^~wing areas.

TASHKENT PLANT MAIN SUPPLIER OF COTTON-_CLEANING MACHINES -- Moscow, Pravda,
4 Dec 50
The Tashkhlopkomash (Tashkent Cotton Machinery) Plant has pledged itself to
put into operation several cotton-cleaning plants before the day of the Uzbek elec-
tions. It equipped such a plant with the latest type of machinery on the occasion
of the 33d October anniversary.
Tashkhlopkomash will ..become, in the next few years, the principal machine-
building base for -the cotton=sowing :. areas, .of the ?Soviet'? Union. It will
put out 5 times as much machinery as it does now.

AISMOLINSK AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY PLANT WASTEFUL -- Alma-Ata, Kazakhetanskaya Pravda,
31 oct 50
Although the Akmolinsk Kazakhsel'mash Plant pledged to support the campaign for
economy in metals and raw materials, its staff does nothing to implement the pledge.
Director Sidorov and Chief Engineer Yenar'yev remain indifferent to innovators' sug-
gestions. The plant's party and trade union organs have failed to show proper in-
terest in the campaign.
There is considerable overconsumption of raw material at this plant. For in-
stance, it uses 120 kilograms of metal to produce a haymower whereas the plan allows
only 95. The tool shop wastes more than 50 percent of its metal in the form of
chips because of improper selection of billets. The net result is that the plant
is hundreds of machines behind in production each month.
TURNS OUT ABOVE-PLAN GRADERS FOR IRRIGATION SCHEME -- Tashkent, Pravda Vostoka,
11 Nov 50
The Chirchiksel'mash Plant has exceeded the year plan, putting out 500 graders
above plan for the new irrigation project.
The Tashsel'mash Plant imeni Voroshilov needs the following personnel immedi-
ately: engineer for.:the mechanization of internal plant transport, drivers, load-
ers, and manual help. Apply: Personnel Division, U1. 1 Maya No 2, Tashkent -- Ad-
