brick structure with an iron roof frame, VAS divided into two sections,
separated by a well. The turbine section was 20 meters high and the
boiler section 25 meters high.
The boiler section (No. 6 b) had. two boilers by 1954 and it was
vlanned to install at least two more. The boilers were square.
Next to the building was a
coalbin with a square brick tower, inside or near which were two
mills, one of which ground the coal, while the other pulverized it.

Metal Plant (Leningradskiy Netalicheskiy Zavod Jinni Stalina - LW),
was dedicated to the XIX Congress of the Soviet CP. Construction of
two more was planned. Connected to the turbines were three alternating
current generators, constructed in the Leningrad lirov Plant.
Installation of two more was planned. This machinery was installed
on the first floor. In the basement were six turbo-pumps, each with
about 1,000 hp, which worked alternately, three at a time, in connection_
with the electric MAWS of the motor pump section, which supplied
water for the toilers for cooling the condensers and for all the
equipment which needed water. In case of breakdown of the generating
equipment, the turbo-pumps were used as extra units to power the
electric motor pumps so that the supply of water for the boilers and
for cooling continued on a provisional basis. This section was
equipped with one loo-mr crane and two 30-Nf cranes on rails for the
assembly, dismounting, and repair of machinery.

LENIN PLANT FOR REPAIR OF RIVER
VESSELS.IN ASTRAKHAN
1. The Lenin Plant, which was not known by any other name
and which repaired river vessels, was subordinate to the Ministry
of Petroleum Industry and the VOLOOTANKER entertrite, as were all
industries related to the prodUction or transport of i]. in the
Wage-arse. The plant was located on the right bank of the Volga
River, about 300 meters from a large bridge built in 1953 and was
surrounded by a wooden fence about two and one-half meters high.
The city of Aetrikhan Off 14621, E 48-03) was situated on the other
side of the river, about two and one-half kilometers directly west
of the plant. It was planned to merge the Lenin Plant with two
others, the Utritskiy Plant for the repair of river and ocean-going
passenger vessels and the Dvadtsatpyatyy Oktylibrskiy Zavod for the
repair of fishing and merchant ships, which were located on the
left bank of the Volga near Astrakhan. With this idea in mind,
a project existed to modify and expand the Lenin Plant, as
indicated * sketch on pagell .
2. The Lenin Plant, which employed about 800, repaired river tugs
engaged in the transport of oil and fishing vessels of the Caspian
Sea. Fishing Fleet. Following is a, breakdown of the types of repairs
done by the plant:
a.Annual cleaning and checking of All vessels attached to the plant.
Each year about 24 ships underwent cleaning and checking, each
ship remsiningat the plant from 30 to 60 days.
b. General inspection and repair, undertaken every three years. New
piston rings, base bearings, and wrist pin bearings were usually
installed and starting, intake, and exhaust valves were ground.
About four ships underwent general inspection and repair annually,
each ship rymmning at the plant from five to six months.
c. Complete overhauling, which ships underwent every 18 years. The
plant handled this type of work for two ships annually, each
remaining about ten months.
d. Mbdernization, consisting of the replacement of all worn and
antiquated parts and machinery, including auxiliary engines and
prime movers. This type of work was done only under orders from
the Ministry. NO yearly schedule existed for the modernisation
of ships, as many as three or four years going by without such
work being undertaken.
e. Emergency repairs, received by an average of three ships a year.
3. The fallowing raw materials were delivered to the plant by ship or
truck
a. FUel oil, brought by ship from Baku (N 40-e3, E 49-55).
b. Paints.
C. Steel in sheets, rods, and ingots.

4. Water was supplied by the city of Astrakhan. The Trusovskiy rayon
sub-station supplied the plant with an adequate amount of 220-volt
electricity. A1,000 horsepower, 736-kilowatt, US-made Diesel generator
partially supplied the plant's needs in emergencies. A plant sub-
station was under construction in 1956.
5. Small railway cars, pulled by electric carts, provided all transport
within the plant. Ships, trains, and four or five three-metric-ton
trucks provided outside transport. Only fuel and lumber were delivered
by ship. The plant had wide, asphalt roads, open to traffic in all
weather.
6. The plant worked one seven-hour shift five days a week and four hours
on Saturdays. Vacations were granted throughout the year although most
workers took theizs in summer because winter was the busy season.
Engineers and office workers received 20 working days off a year; laborers
received 15 working days. The average salary for workmen was 1,000
rubles monthly after deductions. Privileges and recognition were granted
for superior work. never complaints or strikes, and
absenteeism at the an was practicallynon-existent. Sanitary conditions
were good. Shops were well ventilated, had showers, and were fumigated
once a year.
7. About 15 guards, both men and women, armed with old rifles, kept a 24-
hour watch at all plant entrances. They were not members of any official
police force but were subordinate to the plant's personnel office. Dogs
were used at night to guard the wall surrounding the plant. Workers
were required to present the usual propusk in order to enter or leave the
plant; access was free to all buildings within the plant area. A small
fire-fighting group had one well-equipped fire engine; each shop had
fire hoses, extinguishers, and personnel trained in fire fighting.
