DOK PLANT NO. 9
Identification and Location
1. DOK Plant No. 9, located in the 'runzenskiy rayon, yioscow, was
subordinate to the TIinistry of Construction. It manufactured
artistic furniture, parquet flooring and metal articles includ.iz
artistic bronze lamps, old-style desk lamps, radiators, aluminum
and bronze door and window handles, and aluminum and bronze
trimmings. Prior to 1955 it was known successively as the
Masterskoye S'troitelstvo and. the -asterskiy Kr. asnoderevikh Rabot
and occupied the site where the stadium now stands. In 1955 it
was moved to its present site, some four or five hundred meters
from the naw university. Its perimeter measured about 300 X 150
meters; it was surrounded by an unpainted wooden fence. The
plant consisted of 14 one-story, stucco-coated frame buildings
and one brick structure (No. 8 of sketch No. 1), which was, pre-
sumably, the only fireproof buildin_;. None of the buildin;s had
a basement. In 1957 it was rumored that because the plant was
too close to the university it would be moved, but no one knew
the location of the proposed new site.
2. The raw materials included various types of wood, nickel, brass,
stainless steel, black steel, copper, tin, lead, acids for
plating baths, stearin, oxy;;en, oils, nails, screws, nuts, ;lue,
varnishes, petroleum, sand, coke, coal, industrial alcohol,
borax, paints, rivets, and unknown chemicals for colorint_ metals.
Since there were no railroad connections, all the raw material,
50X1-HUM
which came from the warehouses of the i,iinistry of
Construction, was transported in rented or l::iinistry-owned trucks;
it was unloaded at the warehouse whence it was conveyed via
wheelbarrow to the various stops.
