Aircraft Plant No. 43 (Post Office Box No. 2407), located in the Oktiabreskiy rayon, Moscow, was subordinate to the Ministry of Aviation. It was bounded on the east by Yamskogo Polya 5, on the west by Yamskogo Polya 3, and on the north by ulitsa Pravdy; on the south, and adjacent to it, was Aircraft Plant No. 124 (see sketch No. 1 on page 12). It had previously been known by the name of its German proprietor, Dubs; The plant manufactured aircraft turrets and small electric motors and parts and utilized scrap material in the manufacture of aluminum and stainless steel buckets, kettles, milk pails, and toys. In 1956 the plant also began to manufacture vacuum cleaners and inexpensive radio receivers as secondary products and, the same year, manufactured and assembled ten chassis and cabs for automobile trailers (refer to paragraph 5 below for additional information on the chassis). 2. The raw materials consisted of wood, plywood, copper, aluminum angles, ingots, cast iron, bronze, spools of wire, rubber tubes, flexible metal tubes, asbestos, fireproof glass, plastic tubes, sheet steel, round and square steel, special electric cable for the turrets, ordinary electric cable, alcohol, paint, enamel, gaso- line, petroleum, mazut, ordinary and refractory brick, cement, lime, bearings, canvas, leather, radio tubes, and coal. Most of the raw material was shipped in by rail whereas the outgoing shipments were generally transported truck; not dependent on foreign imports. 45). Two underground electric cables entered the plant. In 1947 the plant was Water and Electric Power Supply Water was piped into the plant from a water reservoir (Point No. 6 on sketch, page 12). Electric power was furnished by the Moscow Brdroelectrie Plant (Moskovekaya Gorodskaya Energicheskayastansia -- MOGES) which, in turn, was supplied by a power plant in Kashira (N 54-50, E 38-12). The plant had four substation transformers these are described in legend under points Now. 18, 25 bis, 34 and There was no power abortqp except occasionally during the winter months when electricity was rationed. The Moscow $gdroelectric Plant controlled the electric power for industrial use and did not favor war industries..

A single track, Soviet wide-gauge railroad line entered the plant and connected with the main railroad line between the stations of Beolorusakiy and Rzhevskiy. 'The rolling stock consisted of small, old steam locomotives and ordinary railroad cars and flat cars, all in good condition. No bigbway entered the plant area and trucks and other vehicles entered from ulitsa Pravdy. The plant had two Mack'trucks and about 30 ZIL trucks, of three and five ton capacity,for transporting manufactured products. 25X1 25X1 Production The plant produced and assembled three turret units (five turrets to a unit)--complete with automatic firing mechanism and electric motors-- r month; in other words, a total of 15 turrets; also large quantities (figures not known) of small electric motors and spare parts for the turrets, some of which were shipped to other plants. (The guns mounted in the turrets came from other plants; they were of about 30 mm caliber and one meter or less in length.) Production figures for other manufactured items, i.e., kettles, buckets, pails, vacuum cleaners, and radio receivers, not known. In May 1956, at the request of the Ministry of Agriculture, the plant began to manufacture automobile trailer-type chassis. The chassis were described as being about five meters long with ordinary wheels; installed in the center was a.so-called cockpit fitted with many (sic) control panels and a neck-high, form-fitting armored seat, similar to those in aircraft; the upper portion of the cockpit was of transparent plexiglass. It was said that two-gun turrets, similar to those in aircraft, would be installed both in'the front and rear of the trailer and that these could be controlled from the cockpit. As of December 195 6., the plant had manufact- n chassis of the type described above. Organization 69 The plant had a director, a chief engineer and assistant engineer, the chiefs of finance, materiel and personnel, shop foremen, and Party and Union secretaries. Air force officers inspected and passed on all manufactured items before they could be shipped out of the plant. The machine shop, located on the second floor of building designated as 44# had the following organizational setup: a shop chief with two assistants, a .Party and a Union secretary, chief of control, a brigade of electrical repairmen and a brigade of mechanics, eight 20-own groups of skilled workers (machinists, operators of planers, lathes, milling and grinding machines, and specialists in galvanising), with a foremen in charge of each group.

Employees were generally 25X1 permitted to take their vacations when they chose, provided the work schedule was not interrupted; employees with less than three years' service were given 12 days annual leave and those with more than three years, 15 days. Daployees engaged in performing work injurious to health were given 2 days leave each year. Health conditions in the plant were good; each shop was equipped with a first-aid kit and a practical nurse was on duty to administer first aid to the sick and injured, Vhereafter they were given medical attention in the clinic and infirmary. Wages 8. Inasmuch as Plant No. 43 was engaged in manufacturing military equip- ment, the employees were paid higher wages than in other plants and also received bonuses at the end of the year. The monthly wages were as follows: Shop chiefs - 1,200 rubles, plus a bonus for fulfilling plans Assistant shop chiefs - 1,150 rubles plus bonus Master mechanics - 1,100 rubles plus bonus Brigade chiefs - 1#000 rubles plus bonus if norms were attained Shop mechanics - 1,000 rubles plus bonus Electricians - 560 rubles; however, the electricians were paid extra for repair jobs which brought their monthly wages up to about 1,400 rubles.
