TO PRODUCE LARGE HYDROGENERATORS -- Minsk, Sovetskaya Belorussiya, 29 Aug 53
The Leningrad Elektrosila Plant imeni S. M. Kirov is to produce 20 special
(unikal'nyy) hydrogenerators for the Kuybyshevskaya GES project, and has promised
to complete the first of these generators by the end of 1953. Shevchenko, direc-
tor of the plant, reports that production of many parts and units of the hydro-
generators will begin in September. The plant has already received large castings
and forgings needed to produce the new machines. Machine tool plants have sup-
plied the Elektrosila Plant with the nest machine tools 'for machining large
parts. Many accessories and dies have been prepared for producing large parts.
More than 350,000 sheets of dynamic fdynam7 steel are required to make the stamp-
ings for each generator.
BUILDS MOBILE GENERATORS, ELECTRIC MOTORS -- Moscow, Vechernyaya Moskva, 17 Sep 53
The Moscow Electrical Machinery Plant of Glavsel'elektro (Main Administration of
Rural Electrification) has produced 75 mobile generators in 1953 and will produce
25 more in the next few months. These 35-kilowatt generators are powered by a die-
sel engine.
The plant has produced about 21,000 electric motors for sheep shears in 1953.
The plant will soon start production of magnetic starters for electric motors
used on threshing floors, water pumps, and silo cutters.
SHIPS MOTORS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE -- Baku, Bakinskiy Rabochiy, 14 Aug 53
The Moscow Electrical Plant imeni Vladimir Il'ich has shipped a consignment
of electric mc'ors to Kakhovka ahead of schedule.

FAILS TO SHIP CRANE MOTORS -- Tallin, Sovetskaya Estoniya, 15 Aug 53
The Tallin Volta Plant was supposed to ship 75 electric motors for cranes
to the Borisov Proletarskiy Molot Plant in the first quarter 1953, but did not
ship a single motor. As a result, the Borisov plant is having serious difficul-
ties in fulfilling its plan for cranes. Pechenev, director of the Volta Plant,
did not even answer a letter of complaint from Glavsnab (Main Administration of
Supply), Ministry of Local Industry Belorussian SSR.
Tallin, Sovetskaya Estoniya, 26 Aug 53
The reject rate for castings made in the iron foundry of the Tallin Volta
Plant is as high as 15 per-.-' because of failure to weigh the lime and coke used
in charging the cupola furnace.
Some inspectors of the Division of Technical Control do not use measuring in-
struments properly. As a result, 80 percent of the electric motor shields and 67
percent of the motor shafts sent to the assembly shop recently were defective.
Many of the motors made by the Vol'ta Plant consume too much electric power.
Moscow, Trud, 3 Sep 53
The Tallin Volta Plant recently shipped a consignment of A-5 electric motors.
The plant has reduced the weight of these motors by 700 grams each. This weight
reduction will save tens of tons of metal in the course of the year.
DINAMO PLANT INSTALLS NEW EQUIPMENT -- Moscow, Vechernyaya Moskva, 15 Aug 53
Two 150-ton presses were recently installed in the stamping shop of the Mos-
cow Dinamo Plant imeni S. M. Kirov (director, N. A. Krestov). Workers of the
plant designed and built the giant presses right in the plant, even though slich
equipment is vzually made by heavy machine building plants. I. P. Bardvbakhin,
chief technologist of the plant, says that the new presses grill eliminate the
bottleneck in the stamping shop.
The plant's assignment for crane electr'cal equipment, especially for the
metallurgical industry, has been considerably increased in 1953. At first it was
believed that it would take two machine shops to carry out this assignment, but
the second machine shop is successfully carrying out the task alone by reorganiz-
ing its equipment. The output of crane electrical mechanisms has 'increased al-
most 20 percent as compared with the first half of 1952.
