ACHIEVEMENTS AT TBILISI MACHINE TOOL BUIIDITIG PLANT IMENI KIROV
MUST INCRS TDN PRODUCTION TO SATISFY DEMANDS -- Tbilisi, Zarya Vostoka, 16 Sep 52
Among machine building enterprises of the Georgian SSR, the Tbilisi Machine
Tool Building Plant imeni Kirov deserves recognition. During the past 2-3 years
it considerably increased the output of DIP-300 screw-cutting lathes and heavy
special machine tools for the metallurgical 1.:._stry. It has also conducted im-
portant work in the radical improvemen'. of production methods and the conversion
of machine tool production to constant-flow methods.
However, plant personnel are faced with the task of an even greater increase
in machine tool output because of the tremendous demand of Soviet industry for
its products.
The Tbilisi Machine Tool Building Plant imeni. Kirov completed its 9-month
assignment ahead of schedule and increased the production of machine tools by 32
percent, as compared with the, name pe-iod in 1951.
PERFECTS AND PRODUCE'S NEW MACHINE TOOLS ABOVE PLAN -- Tbilisi, Zarya Vostoka,
11 Oct 52
In September 1952, the Tbilisi Machine Tool Building Plant imeni. S. M. Kirov
perfected and produced four machine tools of two new models abo"c plan.

New assignments as outlined by the Fifth Five-Year Plan specify tha., the
plant must further modernize the technology of production, better utilize its
productive capacities, increase labor productivity, and develop and perfect new
types of heavy machine tools.
In 1952, the plant has already exceeded its planned capacity. It present,
it is completing preparatory work in order to produce 6.3 times as many machine
tools in 1953 as it did in 1946.
In addition to mastering the production of new models of machine tools and
increasing production, a great deal of attention has been given recently to prob-
lems of economy. In this connection, the cost of producing its basic type of
product, the 1D63P screw-cutting lathe, has been decreased.
The production cost of machine tools, as compared with 1946, has been cut
in half .
Not long ago the plant operated at a deficit and received large annual sub-
sidies from the state. However, the persistent efforts of plant personnel to
reduce the cost of production finally effected a profit. In 1950, the plant
made a profit of 1,596,000 rubles; in 1951, 6,637,000 rubles; and in 8 months of
1952, 3,607,000 rubles.
A technical-industrial-financial plan was introduced to provide for strict
planning and calculation of work according to technical, production, and finan-
cial indexes. In addition to the number of types and quantity of items being
produced and the volume of commodity and Bross production, this plan, founded
on basic progressive norms, determined the minimum inevitable loss of labor and
c tcrials in the fulfillment of the state production plan.
The drawing up of the technical-industrial-financial plan preceder'. the
lengthy and detailed work involved in the formulation of a plan for organizational
and technical measures for each shop.
The plan for organizational and technical measures embraces all problems re-
lating to the production activity of the plant, including the introduction of
leading technologies, mechanization of production, easing of labor-consuming
operations, improvement of health conditions, development and perfection of new
and more modern machine tools, etc.
At the beginning of 1952, two ba.eic shops at the plant, machine shop No 1
and assembly shop No 3, were converted to cost-accountin; methous. As a result
of this experiment, rejects caused by workers were cut by more than 50 percent.
Many other savings have been noted. Plans are now being made to introduce cost
accounting at all of the plant's shops.
However, a great deal still remains to he done in the further improvement
of intraplant cost accounting. Cost accountin3 must be introduced to sections,
brigades, and each worker. Progressive norms must be developed and introduced.
The experience of leading shops, sections, brigades, and Stakilanovites must be
made known to all plant personnel.
The Institute of Economics of th,! Academy of Sciences Georgian SSN can
assist the plant a great deal in solving ',b-r!c :.,u other problems concerning
plant economics.
To improve the oconomic knowledge of plant workers, the institute is organi-
zing the presentation of speeches and lectures. --N. Damotsev, chief, Planning

SHIP 21 MACHINE TOOLS TO CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS -- Yerevan, Kommunist, 30 Oct 52
The Tbilisi Machine Tool Building Plant imeni Kirov has shipped 21 machine
tools to construction projects uince the beginning of 1952.
BUILD AND DESIGN SPECIAL COMPLEX MACHINE TOOLS -- Tbilisi, Zarya Vostoka,
31 ,Oct 52
In addition to the production of universal screw-cutting lathes, the Tbilisi
Machine Tool Building Plant imeni Kirov manufactures various special machine `nols
for the metallurgical, petroleum, and coal industries, for electric machine
building and geological prospecting work, and for other leading branches of the
national economy.
The plant has made great strides from year to year in the production of
special complex machine tools. For example, plant designers have developed an
improved 914B pipe cutting machine, model No 914M. It is slated for production
in 1953. Its cutting speed will newly triple that of the existing machine.
Bronze raiial spindle bearings are being replaced by roller bearings, which will
effect a considerable saving in expensive nonferrous metal. This will also greatly
decrease the labor spent in the manufacture of the parts as well as increase
th, _r life. In addition, the weight of the new machine tool has been decreased
by 180 kilograms.
Model 1983 5robably should be 9183, because it is known that designations
for pipe processing machines begin with 91-] pipe cutting machine for the petro-
leum industry is undergoing radical improvements. At present, it machines pipes
up to 250 milli,iei.ers in diameter. Tne new model., 1983M, which has been designed
in 1952 and is to be manufactured soon, will machine pipes up to 290 millimeters
in diameter. This will considerably increase the technological potentials of the
machine tool and will broaden its field of application. The new model will weigh
44 0 kilograms less than the exLstina one.
,Among the special complex machines is one for chamfering huge welded
pipe e for gas mains. It vas first designed to weigh 7O tons, The processes of
installing the pipes and of machining them have been mechanized to the utmost.
Each, machine is equipped with 13 electric motors.
Semiautomatic push-button control, a very high speed of cutting, and the
high', power of this machine are making it possible to increase productivity in
processing pipes 11-2 times.
The plant has successfully mastered the production of chamfer-shape (faskoo-
braznyy) machines. Workers at the Khartsyzsk Pine Plant (Ukraine) where the
machine tools have been installed attest to their good quality.
PLANT EQUIPMEP?P IN OPERATION AT SEVERAL INDUSTRIES --Leningradskaya Pravda,
16 Nov 52
The Tbilisi Machine Tool Building Plant imeni Kirov released nine types
of new automatic machine tool- for machining steel pipes in 1952.
Equipment produced by this plant is now in operation at many enterprises of
the nietall.urgical, petroleum, and power engineering industries.

DISPATCH BRIGADES TO SET UP COMPLEX MACHINE TOOLS -- Tbilisi, Zarya Vostoka, 14+ Dec 52
The Tbilisi Machine Tool Building Plait imeni Kirov ships its machine
tools to doz:ns of addresses. Recently, it began to dispatch brigades to those
addresses to install and set up the bigger and more complex machine tools.
Special pipe processing machines have been shipped to the Baku Pipe Plant.
A brigade headed by Elizabeza Bobrik, engineer-designer, has been detailed to
set up the wor:c on these machines.
SHIP LATHES TO DISTANT PLACES - Tbilisi, Zarya Vostoka, 16 Nov 52
In the shipping yard of the Tbilisi Machine Tool Building Plant imeni
Kirov, powerful overhead traveling cranes are used to transfer Model 1D63A uni-
versal lathes to the railroad platform for shipment to far-off points such as
Kuybyshev, Dnepropetrovsk, Leningrad, Krasnoyarsk, etc.
There are 18 machine tool operators in the lathe section of the plant
where gears for machine tools are processed.
On 14 November; the machining cf parts for a new modernized machine tool,
Model 7D63M, was started in shop No 1.
This machine tool was designed at the plant by P. Abesadze, G. Tsintsadze,
G..:;ruchumeliya, N. Khristovskaya, and B. Akobardin, designers.
In its technical and operating aspects, the new machine tool excels Model
1D63A. It is designed for high-speed metalworking.
