The rail and' beam shop contained the following section :
a. furnace esctiorts consisting of about: 20 gas furnaces. or pits
suck in the -ogM!Mj with metal covers art ground" level. They weTh ar
differer types. ILa some a single steel ingot was introd_
i'hsree ingots were later made into rails and heated to 900 . In the
o thr furmcow four- steel ingots ware introduced. The latter were
into beams, wires,, ache ets, etc. The ingots used were trans%-
parted to the shop on rail. flatcars from the Bessemer a9nd Martin
sharps (Ron. 3, and G) and in smaller quantity from the Dnepro-
dgre-rrb; metallurgical - eetallurgical plant. After tempering, the ingots were
removed from the furnaces by cranes and deposited on the block chain
which carried it to the. blooming sectiart.
b.. Blooming section, v -ich had a large semiautomatic blooming
MATTO. The machine had rollers with three phases for- giving ingots
three different aims and different shapes. The ingots were origi-
nally shaped like the frustum of a quadrangular pyramid and measured
1.40 m in height and 0.40 m each side of the larger base. The steel
of the, blooms varied in hardness; those of better quality were use&
for rails and those of inferior quality were used in the- prodtmtion
of beams.
c. Lathe section, which received the blooms which had been pass-
ed and slightly shaped like a rail or a beam. This section was
equipped with three rolling , know as stag which were dif-
ferent than the blooming m417 ss although the was similar. Two
of these machines finished passing the blooms and shaping them like
rails. or beamv,. The other machine passed therm.:. ._ c* 'eat

e. Teeperi rg and drilling section, where the, three kinds of
rails and the beams were sent. The rails were straightened and
their`: ends polished and. 11-rill d. The ends of the rat Is were Iater
joined by fish plates. A length of three am at the . ends of the
standard rails was tempered to prevent the wear caused by friction
whet: the rails expanded..- The bears were also straightened in this
section.
f. Storage. section, whem they fin3.a aed. rails and beam were
divided into the following three categories: 1) those for general
railroad lines; 2) those for atreetc fir r~ and rail sidings in
stations; and 3) those for bows used in the, construction of build-
ings. After being clas ied, the rails-and beams were stored in
an. open air storage sitapwhich was a 300 m 'x 20 m prolongation of
building No. 1.
The rails for cranes were quite strong and were probably used
for. potxl cranes-. They measured about 25 cm at the base and about
20 cm in height. They had the same plant markings as the other
rails.
The beams for building construction were made in 1 or H sections.
Their production was not constant and usually consisted of two or
threw two-week periods per year. Nevertheless, the capacity of pro-
duction of construction beams was greater than that of the rails,
The length of the beams 25X1
vari .from. to width was 25 cm; the thiokasser of the
v ical section: was four, mK and that of the ends' was less.

3. Scrap fouasiry or Martin shop, a one-story buildin s, 200 m x 20 m
andte i m high,, without basemsact. It was fireproof and identical is
construutfs to building NO. 2 with lateral windows- in the roof and
large, windows and doors. Between the railroad line and the build-
ing were two chimneys, one of brick which was 20 m__ high and the
other of iron which wee ten m high.
The foundry smelted.. metal waste products from this plant and
from others. It was egzipped with three open hearth Martin furnaces;
thew were old, but wall-maintained and of Soviet manufacture. These
furnaces were fired with gas. supplied by the main foundry (eee No.
a. in the sketch an page ). Part of the steel production of this
shop, wwss sent in molten form to the shop in building NO. 2;
the rest was seat as billets to building Mo. I to be turned into
been, sheet mettal; and wire. The fo

The shop contained the following machinery:
I machine which automatically charged the three furnaces with
scree and chemical mi lures.
2 crams which' retracted molten steel from the furnaces, moved
the molds gag, then filled and withdrew them. They also loaded the
recaptaclee which transported the molten metal to the Bessemer
shapl.
The found y was also equipped with several ventilators and
draft tubes, as were the other shops of this type.
Thrao hundred vereems worked three shifts per day.
4. Sheet steel shop, a one-story brick and cement fireproof
building- without basement,. 200 in. x 40 in and eight at high. The iron
roof frame was supported by two rows of iron columns along the
lateral walls and one or two more in the interior of the building.
There were window se in the metal roof and in the walls. Between
building NO. 2 and building NO. 4 there were four or five chimneys',
one of brick and the others of metal, with an average height of
ten in. They were intended fore the escape of gases from the two
buildings.
In the sheet steel shop, sheets of different kinds of steel,
with different thicknesses and surfaces were worked. The sheets
were for various applications, for eFSrample, ship construction.
The thickness varied from 0.5 mss: to four mart and sometimes more
dbpemding on the orders. The surface of the sheets was usually
m to 6 m r 1.5 m to 2 m. The larger sheets were thicker than

shops the corresponding chemical mixturez were added to the molten
iron to produce various classes of steel billets. The Bessemer
shop produced t1 e largest quantity of good-quality steel billets,
almost all of which were used to rake rails. The three shop:. sent
steel billets and ingots to the rail and beam shop in building

PETROVSK METALLURGICAL PLANT IN DNEPROPETROVSK
Location
1. The Petrovsk Metallurgical: Plant, subordinate to the Ministry of
the Metallurgical Industry, was located in the Lenin district of
Dnepropetrovsk (N k8-28, E 35-00) on the bank of'tbe Dnepr River. 25X1
The plant was situated at the end of ulitsa Pushkina,.which was
an extension of Rabochiya ulitsa. The
center of the plant was one kilometer from the river and, one
kilometer from the Chemical Coke Plant. It was near the Lenin
Pipe Plant and approximately three to four kilometers from
prospekt Karla Marksa. The plant was composed of a main plant
area and an annex.
Main Plant Layout
2. The 7000 meter plant perimeter was surrounded b a 2,5 meter high,
reinforced, cinder-block. wall. See sketch on
pages 10 and 11, of layout of main an area. a railroad
entrances were located on the west side of the plant. On the
north side, and going from west to east, was a workers' entrance
and a vehicle entrance. The entrance to the offices was to the
east, and it was believed that workers could also enter here.
On the south side, where the.security office was located, was a
workers entrance which led across a metal foot bridge over the
railroad sidings and down a stairway to the various shops. The
plant's only underground installations were those servicing the
old blast furnaces. New blast furnaces had been projected and
this may have been the object of the new construction that was
under way in the vicinity of the already existing furnaces,
Plant Annex Layout
3, Some 500 to 600 meters to the south of the main plant area, and
between the plant and the Katherine railroad line, almost facing
the blast furnaces, was the rectangularly shaped area of the
plant annex. See sketch on page 12 showing the
layout of the annex area. ex employed approximately
180 workers and this section was devoted to the repair of pipe,
boilers, and other plant repair work. These srticles were trans-
ported by rail.an.d truck within the plant. The buildings of
this annex were all one story, brick structures with sheet metal
roofs, or uralite roofs in the case of a few small buildings..
They were generally not fire-resistant and did not have basements.
The machinery in this section was old, of Soviet make, of good
quality and well-maintained. A new Soviet planer and drilling
machine were located

Plant Products
4. The plant produced billets, wrought iron, steel, rails, T-beams,
I-beams, angle iron, small beams, ingots, various sizes of pipe, iron
and steel sheet and plate, and in general the usual siderurgical
products. Sheet iron was produced in thicknesses of from .5
millimeters to 15 millimeters; sheets up to 4 millimeters were
produced for the plant's own use. The products carried the plant
trademark., year, measurement, hardness and composition. The names
of many of the plant products were unknown to source. Although
the plant did not specialize in military material, it was said
that some of the plant products, (not further identified), were
consigned to the Ministry of Defense. During the last war, the
plant produced military material and conversion to a war plant
was believed possible with complete facility.
Production Quotas
The production capacity of the plant was said to be a million metric
tons yearly. Production quotas were not met in 19+9, but since
that time the norms have been fulfilled except in the sheet metal
shops and the foundry, where the standards were excessive. A con-
stant effort was made to increase the level of production, and it
was rumored that changes would be made in the plant to achieve that
end. The usual difficulty in achieving the quotas was the fact
that production was low the first days of each month with the result
that production had to be speeded up later in the month to reach the
norms. No falsification of production figures was known to exist 25X1
The operations in certain shops such as the sheet metal
ne foundry and the blast furnaces, were automatic to the
extent that they were controlled by mechanical devices and possibly,
though not believed by source to be probable, by electrical devices.
Raw Materials
6. The raw materials used by the plant were the following: iron ore,
said to come from Krivoi Rog (N 47-55, E 33-22); limestone; sand;
scrap iron; petroleum; diesel oil; gasoline and oil from the
Caucases, and from the large refineries in the region of the Volga
River; wood from the Pechora River area; coke for the blast fur-
naces and the foundry and manufactured as -from cal Coke
Plant located nearby; natural gas came from
7?
the Donbas; aluminum; copper; bronze, rass, c e , p nt, mainly
red and white lead, varnishes, Bakelite, synthetic fibers; tar;
wax paper; coal; turpentine; acids; glass; leather for gloves; and
protective breastplates for the workers in the foundry and welding
shop, and those working with acids; asbestos; mica; cotton; soda;
soap; alcohol; oxygen; and acetylene. All of these materials were
believed to be of domestic origin. No great quantities of raw
materials were kept in reserve but the plant used great quantities
which were constantly brought into the plant.
Utilities
Water was supplied from the Dnepr River through underground pipelines.
Source supposed that there must have been a pump house near the river
to extract the water under pressure. There was also a 100 metric ton
capacity reserve storage of water. Electricity was believed to have
come from a tdroelectric station near Zaporozbye (N l+7-19, E 35-10).

There was a small building some 200 meters south of the plant
offices and near the metal foot bridge; this structure was believed
to house the transformers that supplied the plant's electricity.
The supply was regular and adequate for plant needs.
Railroad Transportation
8. Raw materials were delivered to the plant principally by railroad.
Two standard Soviet guage railroad sidings entered the plant on
the west; one connected with the Kharkov -Moscow line, and the other
led to the plant annex and to the Chemical Coke Plant. Within the
plant area there was a vast network of railroad sidings, especially
those serving the foundry, blast furnaces, and sheet-metal shops.
The railroad sidings which crossed the plant area and terminated
in the east portion, were lined with loading platforms. There were
bridge cranes and light mobile cranes in the shops as well as out-
side in the plant area. Railroad cars were generally side-loaded
although certain items such as rails and beams were top-loaded.
The rolling stock was varied with hopper cars for the iron ore,
60-ton metal platform cars for rails and beams, and tank cars.
The plant locomotives and the cars used for transporting sand and
limestone were generally old. Iron ore, limestone, sand, and
scrap iron were unloaded by cranes in the area where they were
employed. Train traffic was intense and there were continuous
deliveries of iron ore, coke, limestone, and scrap iron.
9?
Road Transportation
Two streets which were paved with asphalt over a cobblestone base,
and were all-season roads with good drainage, led to the plant.
Trucks entering and leaving the plant used the road to the north-
west while the 15-meter wide road to the south connected with the
plant annex and the Avto Zavod. this street
was called Rabochaya ulitsa since tne roa going of the Avto Zavod
was a northerly extension of this street. These roads were adequate
for the traffic which was not intense. Only from 10 percent to
20 percent of the materials entering or leaving the plant were
transported by truck. The materials ordinarily transported by
truck, were oxygen and acetylene tanks, carboys of acid, food
products for the plant cafeteria, alcohol and oil and occasionally
sand and fullers earth for the foundry. The plant used trucks
of 1.5 and 5 ton capacity which were serviced and repaired in a
garage located near the plant.
River Transportation
10. It was said that materials such as limestone, sand., and some iron
ore and scrap iron were delivered by river transport and from the
dock to the plant by railroad. Loaded barges and small passenger
boats could be seen on the river travelling in the direction of
Kiev. Slag and other waste products were dumped in the river.
Working Conditions
U. The plant in general, worked tc 8-hour day shifts and a 7-hour night
shift daily although there were only two shifts which
employed 130 workers in the morning and 35 in the afternoon. Saturday
shifts were only 6 hour shif s

were not good due to old building, bad ventilation, and lack of
sunlight. No strikes, complaints, privileges or absences were
observed.
Security
l9. The security force numbered approximately 100, including both men
and women. This force worked on three shifts and security measures
did not appear to be severe. There were carbine-armed guards at
the vehicle and railroad entrances and the other guards sometimes
carried pistols. Only the entrances were guarded during the day-
time, but the guard was increased at night. Admission to the plant
was controlled by a propusk bearing the worker's photograph and name
of his shop, and entrances to and exits from the various shops
were further controlled by badges.. A worker could leave in case
of necessity with permission of the shop or section chief. Move-
ment within the plant was unrestricted.
Fire Precautions
20. A fire crew with the appropriate equipment was employed by the plant,
and fire extinguishers, boxes of sand, and hydrants were located
in the shops and storage areas.
