Moscow, pug 1953, p 86 Docent V. A. Venikov,
Cand Tech Sci
In March 1953, a scientific and technical conference was held at the
Moscow Power Engineering Institute imeni Molotov. The conference was organ-
ized by the Scientific and Technical Society and the Division of Scientific
and Research Work of the institute.
The plenary session of the conference was opened with an introductory
address by Prof M. G. Chilikia, director of the institute. Chilikin outlined
the scientific work of the institute Yor 1952, and commented on a number of
works which had beet entered fog consideration for the Stalin Prize.
i The plenary session also heard the following reports: "I. V. Stalin's
Work 'Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR, "' by Prof Tn. A. Stepanyan,
Doctor of Philosophical Sciences; "power Engineering of Socialism and Capital-
ism in the Modern Era," by Prof V. A. Kirillin, Doctor of Technical Sciences;
and "The Stalin Plan for Transforming Nature," by prof T. L. Zolotarev, Doctor
of Technical Sciences. The second and third papers treated the modern status
of Power engineering in the USSR and capitalist countries, as well as the
course of its development in the Soviet Union.
The further work of the conference was transacted .in meetings of sections
of the institute.
The Social sad Economic Section (chairman, V. V. Antonova} heard eight
reports.
The Physics and Mathematics Section (chairman, N. A. Lednev) heard 13
reports.
The Mechanical and Machine-Building Section (chairman, M. G. Slobodyanakiy)
heard 14 papers, including the following: "New Method for Producing Precision
Castings for Power and Electric Machine Building," by Docent N. S. Kreshchanskiy,
Candidate of Technical Sciences; and "Approximate Solutions for Static Problems
in the Theory of Elasticity," by Prof M. G. Slobodyanskiy, Doctor of Technical
Sciences.
The Electric Power Engineering Section (chairman, A. M. Fedoseyev) heard
the fol]owing reports in its sessions: "Results of the Operation of Experimental
High-Voltage DC Electric Power Transmission," by Eng M. R. Sonin; "Investigation
of the Load Capacity of Uninsulated Wires for High Operating Currents," by
Docent A. A. Vasil'yev; and "Investigation of Internal Overvoltages in an Auxil-
iary Line Which Ts Connected to the Kuybyshev-Moscow Electric Powefi Transmission
Line When There Is Longitudinal Compensation."
The Heat Engineering Section (chairman, V. V. Luknitskiy) heard 14 papers,
The Water Power Engineering Section (chairman, S. V. Izbash) discussed six
reports. The paper by Docent V. V. Semenov, Candidate of Technical Sciences,
entitled "High- and Superhigh-Sneed Axial-r'low T?~rbines," elicited lively dis-
cussion.
The Electromechanical Section (chairman, Yu. S. Chechet) heard reports
entitled Calculation of the Dynamic Pu11 Characteristic of a DC Electromagnet,"
by A. A. Chunikhi and A. G. Slivinskaya, Candidates of Technical Sciences; and
"Problems of Electric Machine Building in the Field of Sound Recording," by
D. P. Vasil'yevskiy and A, bf. Langen, Candidate of Technical Sciences. Research

devoted to developing a method for modeling the electric field in high-voltage
~ab1J functions xas treated in a report by Prof S. M. Bragin, Doctor of Tech-
nical Sciences.
Also heard by the Electromechanical Section were the following papers:
"Theory and Calculation of the Electric Systems of Remote-Reading Compasses,"
by F. F. Galteyev, Candidate of Technical Sciences; "Sparking at the Pointe of
a Battery Ignition System," by Docent V. A. Balagurov, Candidate of Technical
Sciences; "Graphical Analytical Method for Determining the Longitudinal Magnet-
izing Force of the Transverse Armature Reaction in N~ncompeneated DC Machines,"
by Docent I. S. Goncharov, Candidate of Technical Sciences; and "Inductance
of the Armature Circuit in Noncompensated DC Machines," by Docent M. S.
Mikhaylov-Mikulinskiy. The last article advances a method for calculating
inductance with allowance for the irflnence oY saturation on the basis of the
transient characteristic of a machine; it also describes a special method for
measuring armature inductance which c:,n be used to measure inductance in some
other cases. A report entitled "Rational Selection of the Basic Parameters
for Power Transformers" was read by P. bf. Tikhomirov, Candidate of Technical
Sciences .
The Section of Electrification of Industry and Transport (chairman,
A. T. Golovan) heard a number of reports. Among these were "Experimental
Investigation of Electric Drives for Walking Excavators," by D. N. Lipatov,
Candidate of Technical Sciences; "Nesting Objects of Different Shapes in
Furnaces With Electric Calorifiers," by Eng S. A. tdalyshev; and "Results of
Line Testing of a Mercury-Arc-Rectifier Electric Locomotive for Peat-Cutting
Sites," by Doc?t B. P. Petrov, Candidate ~' Technical Silences. A paper entitled
"Determination of Basic Parameters and Development of Electric Circuits for
Single-Phase, Direct-Current Electric Locomotives F/ith Gas-Filled Rectifiera^
wsa read by D. K. bfinov, Doctor of Technical Sciences. Prof V. Ye. Fozenfel'd,
Doctor of Technical Sciences, delivered a report entitled "Single-Phase --
Three-Phase Electric Locomotives Using Squirrel-Cage Induction Traction Motors
With Smooth Frequency Regulation," which examined various induction motor
systems, the feasibility of using squirrel-cage motors, and speed regulation
by frequency variation.
