USSR PRODUCTION OF TURBINES POaER UNITS, AND BOILERS
TO INCREASE TURBINE PRODUCTION -- Petrozavodsk, Leninskoye Znamya, 22 Sep 53
In 1955, the four largest boiler and turbine plants in the USSR -- the
Leningrad Metal Plant imeni Stalin, the Khar'kov Turbogenerator Plant imeni
Kirov, the Taganrog Krasnyy Kotel'shchik Plant and the Podol'sk Plant imeni
Ordzhonikidze -- are to turn out 2.3 times their 1950 production of steam
turbines and 7.8 times their 1950 production of hydroturbines.
TURBINES COMPLETED FOR KOLKHOZ, INTERKOLKHOZ USE -- Moscow, Trud, 4 Oct 53
The Riga Turbine Machinery Plant has just completed the assembly of a
hydroturbine destined for kolkhoz use. In October, the plant will produce
one more such turbine. Workers have pledged completion of one above-plan
turbine in honor of the anniversary of the October Revolution. This turbine
will be installed at the Michurinsk Interkolkhoz Hydroelectric Station in
Krasnodarskiy Kray.
TURBINE SHAFT AND STATOR COMPLETED FOR GES -- Moscow, Moskovskaya Pravda,
19 Aug 53
The Novo-Kramatorsk Machine Building Plant imeni Stalin has finished forg-
ing the first shaft for turbines of the Kuybyshevskaya GES. Five tons of metal
were saved by decreasing the allowance on the forging. Capitalizing on the ex-
perience acquired in making similar parts, the forge shop reduced the production
time of the shaft by 10 hours.

Leningradskaya Pravda, 30 Aug 53
The Novo-Kramatorsk Machine Building Plant imeni Stalin has completed its
first stator fo! the turbines of the Kuyt.;3hevskaya GES. The 207-ton unit con-
sists of 16 sectors and 8 columns 4.5 meters high, all of which were cast sepa-
rately and welded together by a new process.
After heat treatment, the stator will be sent to the Leningrad Metal Plant
imeni Stalin.
NEW EQUIPMENT INSTALLED -- Vil'nyus, Sovetskaya Litva, 8 Oct 53
The Kaunas Pergale Plant is increasing its tempo of installing new equip-
ment received from sister republics. Radial drilling, horizontal drilling, and
piano-milling machines are among the plant's new acquisitions. These machines
will process parts for some new turbines, more powerful than those previously
produced by the plant.
EXPERIMENTAL TURBINE COMPLETED -- Leningradskaya Pravda, PO Aug 53
The Leningrad Experimental Plant of the Central Scientific Research Insti-
i'te of the Boiler and Turbine Industry has completed an experimental gas tur-
bine, the MGT-2, 2 months ahead of plan. It is designed so that the working
parts may be observed during operation. This should greatly facilitate the
choice of the best type of blade, an important factor in the turbine's effi-
ciency.
LOCOMOBILES SHIPPED TO KOLKHOZES -- Petrozavodsk, Leninskoye Znamya. 9 Oct 53
The Kherson Locomobile Plant is daily shipping dozens of P-38 locomobiles
to various parts of the country. This machine makes possible the complete mech-
anization and electrification of livestock farms on kolkhozes.
The shop where boilers, combustion chambers, and other parts of the loco-
mobile are produced on a constant-flow basis is being re-equipped. This should
raise output considerably.
The plant has constructed an experimental model of a unit designed to sup-
ply steam for heating purposes and to generate electricity at MTS and sovkhozes.
POWER PLANTS BEING PRODUCED FOR KOLKHOZES -- Moscow, Izvestiya, 11 Oct 53
The Perovo Machinery Plant of the Ministry of Agriculture and Procurement
USSR has begun production of LFU-1 steam power plants for livestock kolkhoz use.
This installation was dveloped by the All-Union Scientific Research Institute
for the Mechanization of Agriculture.
The LPU-1 consists of a water-tube boiler and a high-speed one-cylinder
steam engine and generator, mounted together. The boiler can utilize various
solid fuels including firewood. In one shift the plant generates 200-250 kilo-
watt-hours of electricity and up to 2,500 kilograms of steam. It also heats
1,000-1,200 liters of water per hour. Simple in construction, the installation
can be operated and serviced by one mechanic.

Last year an experimental model of the plant was installed at a livestock
kolkhoz in the Moscow area. On the basis of its performance there, the power
plant has been accepted for series production.
PRODUCTION OF MEDIUM BOILERS PLANNED -- Vil'nyus, Sovetskaya Litva, 18 Sep 53
The Taganrog Krasnyy Kotel'shchik Plant has completed preparations for
producing a beri-s of unified boilers of medium productivity, for use at city
and industrial electric power plants. They are designed to burn coal, peat,
wood or mazut.
NEW FEED-WATER PUMP TESTED -- Riga, Sovetskaya Latviya, 3 Sep 53
The Leningrad Metal Plant imeni Stalin has finished testing a highly effi-
cient feed-water pump. It will supply water to the boiler of a steam turbine of
150,000 kilowatts' capacity, which is manufactured by ttie same plant.
