HUNGARIAN PILGT PLANE MAh~ BALL BEARINGS
The pilot plant of the Keletmagyarorazagi Golyoscsapagygyar (Ball-Hearing
Factory of Eastern Hungary) began operating in June 1952?
Located in the remodeled bu ngs o e former cavalry barracks of Debrecen,
the plant employe mainly local peasant youth. These young people are being
trained by skilled workers and mechanics recruited from large engineering works.
Janos Varhegyi, director of the factory, and eight engineers were sent
to the USSR for 3 months to study ball-bearing production. During their stay
at the Kaganovich Ball-Bearing Factory in Moscox, they met engineers from Ru-
mania and Czechoslovakia who also had been sent to learn the technique of
ball-bearing production.
As a result of this study, chief engineer Piko (fnu) was able to write
a three-volume monograph xhich will serve as a guide to domestic ball-bearing
production.
I^ December 1952, the factory began the production of conical roller
bearings on an experimental basis. The factory has consistently exceeded its
monthly plan.
At present, the Komlo mines receive most of the ball bearings produced.
