3,000 member work force were male.

or_ the first floor of an unfinished building whcse construction was
initiated. in 1855? It was rumored, that the plant labor force would,
be increased upon the completion of this new two-story building which
was about 70 by 30-~+0 meters in area dimension. There were no secret
shops at the plant.

Ministry and, a limited amount of kitchenware and cutlery for domestic
consumption. in 1855-1956, the plant produced
10 to 20 threading machines monthly, and, a slightly larger number
of internal grinding machines. The Machine Construction Ministry
submitted designs for special machines to the OKB of Plant 221,
and the engineer-constructors of the plant made blueprints of the
various component parts, which were copied by draftsmen and given
to Shops 1 and 2. Atl blueprints were signed. by the chief tech-
nologist, Mo~seyev, and the chief engineer.
~. Tn 1953, Shoe No. 5, which was an assembly shop for special order
machines, be an r d. ti n of a vertical boring machine which was
copied from under the direction of engineer Lyurey
(fnu). In 195 or 1955 Lyurey supervised, the production of a high
precision coordinated vertical and, horizontal boring machine (sic),
and five of these units were produced in 196.
The tolerance ofi component arts of the coordinate boring machine
was one-two ~4lons? the coordinate boring machine 50X1-H U M
as two-three meters in length, three three and. one-half meters in
height, 0.50-0.60 centimeters in width. The machines had. turn
handles to move the drills (one for the horizontal, one for the
vertical drill). There were plates, placed on top of 75 rollers
to permit movement of parts to be drilled,. The machine had mag-
nifying optical sights, made in the plant optical shop. The mag-
nif~ig lenses were set in red velvet within a black, plastic
frame, and had special covers also lined. with red velvet. The
lenses were about 35-40 millimeters in diameter (thickness and mag-
nifying power unknown). The machine could bore holes up to one
mi~eron in tolerance. The rollers, on which the plates were balanced,
were of two sizes; some were 20-25 millimeters Long, with a diameter
of 16 millimeters, and, the others were 18 millimeters lon with a
diameter of 11 millimeters.
the tolerance
was one micron. Shop No. 5 was always kept at a temperature of
20 degrees centigrade in order to prevent shrinkage or expansion
of the steel. in 1953 Plant 221 was the only
plant in the entire USSR which manufactured, coordinate-boring machines.

had separate alpine clubs.
Civil Defense Training in Plant 221
12. In 195+-1955 officials of the Communist Party gave civi]. defense
lectures to Plant 221 employees. These lectures were l~Iii about
twice a month during lunch time and lasted about one-half hour.
Attendance was not mandatory but foremen encouraged a large attend-
ance. Also
in 195+-55 the plant telephone lines which were above ground were
removed from the telephone poles and placed underground..

Production
this plant, which was
located on Paveletskaya naberezhnaya in Kirovskiv ravon. i 50X1-HUM
Moscow, was a military plant
for manual wire-cutters nozhi The materials for 50X1-HUM
these cutters were supplied to Shop No. 2 by Shop No. 1.
About 300 pairs of wire-cutters were ground and polished by
two workers during this period. The shears were not
assembled at Shop No. 2, and the type of handle to be
attached to the cutters was unknown No one was 50X1-HUM
certain that this was a military order, but nevertheless

military use. Work on this item was also conspicuously well
paid, i.e. three rubles per pair if completed in 20 minutes.
3. Another item processed) lin Shop No. 2 was a type of
flange (or bolt), with a two centimeter square base, produced
in two lengths; ~0 centimeters and about 60 centimeters, as
illustrated below. This was a standing order, and many of
the workers of Shop No. 2 were engaged in the manufacture
of these items. About 800 such flanges, o b lts flantsy)
