with 1951? 'i'he new program specifies the output of lathes arv' boring mschinea up
to 500 tans in weight. The assembly of such a machine tnk~s ~+-5 months. rraty-
rally, finding s way to shorten assembly time has great impo~rarcc.
Innovators decided to change the basic te~.hnology of machine-tool assembly,
Experiments were conducted on the assembly of a large centeri~ss lathe, Ordi-
narily, this work takes up to 2 months, the assembly of separate ;wits being
carried out successively. As the first step in changing the technology, simul-
taneous, parallel assembly of units was organized.
A very complex and laborious muter Le the mounting and aligning of ways,
mounting of ?erriages, and assembling anu running in of speed boxes, According
to thz old technology, first the two right ways were aligned, and then the tro
left ones, Carriages were mounted in successive order also Now, these oper-
ations are parallel, With the new technology, the time for assembling ways hes
been shortened from 8 to 3 days,
Prcviousl,~, the assembly, mounting, and alignment of carriage centare were
done after the alig~ent of ways. The innovators decided to perform these oper-
ations on separate stands, before the carriage uas secured on the machine tool,
As a result, the total assembly process xas shortened another 3 days.
Improvements have also been introduced in the technology of assembling and
running In of speed boxes. These operations are now performed 3lrectly on the
base of the machine tool being assembled; the running In is done simultaneously
with the mounting and aligning of ways. As a result, ono?her three 24-hour days
are saved,
Changes have also been made in a number of other operatlons, The total
technological assembly cycle of a centerl.esa lathe is now 28 days instead of 58.
PUT AEW BOLT,-THREADING MACHINE INTO OPERATION -- Frunze, Sovetskaya ~firgizlye,
25 Jan j2
0~ 23 ,Tannary, a unique machine tool for high-speed manufacture of exenvator
bolts was put into operation at the Novo-Kramatorsk Plant imeni Stalin. The ma-
chine tool was designed and built by the plant's metal-cutting laboratory.
Thread 1s formed ?;m the pact by pressure of two rollers. This increases labor
productivity ten ti.mea, The manufacture of e bolt ip to E;O millimeters in di-
ameter takes only one minute.
The new aggregate will free 15 lathes for other operations.
BUILD FIRST 5-METFI2 BORING MILL _- Moscow, Moako?:sbsya Pravda, 9 Feb 52
The Kolomna Heavy blacliine??Tool Building Plant has built, the first 5??meter
vertical boring mill, The table diameter Sa 9 meters Parts weighing tens of
tone will be processed on this machine, The fire*, ma::hine tools will be shipped
to plants where hydroturbines for the big constructicr. p:?oJects will be built.
~+ 1951, 23 types of heavy machine tools were developed at the plant. At
least 30 machine tools and hydraulic presses will be built in 1952,

MANITP'ACI4TRE HEAVY LATHES FOR COIQSTA[TCTTOft PROJECTS __ Tbilisi, Zarya Vostoka,
8 Jan 52
cei ~ the first days of41952, Tbilisi machine-tool building plants began ra-
ving new orders for meal-cutting machine tools from the big construction
projects, In 1951, the Tbilisi Machine-Tool Building Plant imeni Kirov manu-
fnetured 18 heavy lathes Por the construction pro~ecte; the Tbilisi Foundry
and Mnchiaery plant manufactured 25 screw-cutting lathes for the projects. All
orders vere filled ahead of schedule.
~ 1952, the demand for Tbilisi machine tools is growing rapidly. For
example, in the Pirat 3 dayr of January, the Plant imeni Kirov received orders
for the: manufacture of more t9ea k0 machine tools for the Volga-Don ftavigatioa
Canal and the Kuybyshev hydroelectric constructioa projects. Oa 3 January alone,
11 orders for machine tools were received at the pleat.
Moscow, Vechernyaya Moskva, 12 Jan 52
The Tbilisi'Machinc-Tool Building Ple.nt imeni Kirov has shipped the first

Moscow, Izaroatiya, 3o Jan 52
The Tbilisi Machine-Tool Building Plant ineai Kirov shipped 11 powerful
metal-=utting machine tools to the Volga-Don, Stalingrad, and Krybyshev con-
struction pro~ecte 2 months ahead of schedule.
FIL1. ORD?.RS FOR COHSTRUCTIOft PROJECTS AREAD OF SCHEDULE .-_ Minsk, Sovetskaya
Beloruseiya, 6 Jan 52
~ 1951, the Orsha Krasnyy Boreta Machine-Tool Building Plant shipped more
than 200 slotting-milling, pointing, sad vertical drilling machines to the
Ktip~byehev, Stalingrad, and Kakhovka GES and the canal projects ahec3 of schedule.
7n a fax days, the plant will eend n consignment of vertical drilling ma-
chine to the Volga-Don Navigation Canal. The order for these machine tools xas
Placed in the latter part of 1951. The management of the construction project
requested their delivery in the first quarter of 1952.
