well-supplied with fire extinguishers, and each building had ac.fire
watch guard and a fire alarm box which was activated by breaking the
glass and pushing a button inside the box. Most of the buildings had
supplies of water and sand on their roofs for use in case of fire,
and several of the buildings had fire towers on top Qf their roofs.
The Soviets were very fire conscious, and their fire prevention
regulations were rigidly observed.
Point 1 Large Workshop Hall
This hall had concrete foundations, brick walls, and a
curved steel girder roof which was covered with wood.
The haill was 300-350 m. long x 80-100 in. wide x 7 in. high,

been located on the Volga near Krasnaya Olinka. When .
World War It came and plans for building the power plant
were abandoned, the large workehoP'hall was used for menu-
featuring 'weapons. Water tanks flied for hydro-teohnioar ?
experiMents were'etill.in the basement, but! had been

(Point 2). There was a fire watch tower on the roof of,
this building. this building were located the Sheet
Metal Shop, which had previously included Workshop 3, the
Manufacturing workshops 1-A and 1-44 .the Tool Making Work-
shop 4, and the Small Parts Manufacturing Workshop 6.
Along the walls iround these shops were glass partitioned
offices which were used by various workshops and departments.
Point 1-1 Lateral Wing of workshop Sall
This portion of the large hall was two stories high and
made of brick. /t had a slanting wooden roof covered with
?tarpaper. . The Sheet Metal Workshop 2 was on the ground
floor. On the second floor were the offices of the Planning
Department, Deadlines Section, Technology Section, Jig .
Design Department, Archives, Chief Engineer, Chief Klee- ?
trioian, and Chief Mechanic.

part were the smithy which was part of Workshop. 3, office'
space for the Safety Engineer, rooms for the Telephone
Section, and the Cashier's office. On the second floor4
was the office space for the Finance Section, the Admint
.Section, and the Statistics Section. On the ".
ground floor of the western part was the heat treating
part of Workshop 3, including several electric ovens. On
the second floor was the office space for the Plant Director
and his staff, the Administrative Director, the Welfare
Inspector, and the Shipping and Purchasing Department.

Point 1-d East Wing of Large Workshop Hall
Until summer 1953, the Carpentry and Paint Workshops were
located on the ground floor. In summer 1953, the Carpentry
Workshop was moved, and ovens for the Electroplating Work-
shop were moved in. Parts of Workshop 39 such as the acid
ovens, solution tanks, etc., were located on the second
floor.
Point lise Sind Blasting Shed
This was a smill brick shed containing the sand blasting
part of Workshop 3.

In 19534 a small bripk shed connecting Points 1-e and .1-b
was built. A hydraulic press was installed which\
1was used for manufacturing turbine blades.
Point 1-f
Point 1-g Air Compressor Shed
A small brick shed was built onto the east wing of the
large workshop hall (Point 1-d). The shed contained a
diesel motor driven air compressor which supplied the
entire zavod with compressed air. 'The pressure supplied
was always 2-3 atms. (excess). Outside this shed were
two compressed air tanks, each with 209000-309000 liters
capacity.
Point 2 Central Heating Plant
The heating plant was a brick building, 10 m. high x 20 m.
long x 25 m. wide, with an iron chimney 20 m. high. This
plant was operated with coal and heated all the buildings
of the zavod. The insulated pipes carrying the steam heat
were laid directly in the ground for the older buildings
and in concrete channels for the newer buildings.
Point 3 Assembly Hall Building
This building was made of plastered brick with a tarpaper
roof. It was 40 m. long x 20 m. wide x 10 and 12 m. high.
The middle portion of the building was the engine assembly
hall 10 m. high. The ground floor of the two end wings
was also part of this assembly hall. There was an over-
head traveling crane in this assembly hall. On the second
floors of the end wings, which were 12 m, high, were storage
rooms for parts and various offices. In summer 19539
an annex was built onto the north side of this building.

The water pumping station wee a One story brick building,
20 m. long x 8 m. wide x 3 m. high, With a flat tarpaper
roof. It was completed in summer 1953: It contained
electrical pumps which pumped the water coming from the
water brakes up to the coohng tower (Point 20a). The
pumping station had not been put into operation prior
to June 1953. This station and 50X1-HUM

to the top of the tower, from which it trickled down and
was collected in a basin at the base of the tower. ..Be-

laid in an underground shaft. Parallel to this shaft was
a tunnel for'personnel which led to Korpus 22 (Point 22).
The main difference between this building and Korpus 22.
was that here the gas exhaust channels were laid parallel
to the.earth,-while in Korpus 22 the exhaust gas channels
were led up into the air9 thus also causing more vibration.
This building also was of much more massive construction.
In it were a small assembly room with a propellor-bal-
ancing bench, personnel; officegp and measuring cabins.
It was a restricted area.

with diagonal lines 'through them.) They were all equipped
with searchlights and telephones for communicating with
each other as' well is .with 'the guard house at the main

sheds which served the same general purpose es the towers,
however' they guarded restricted sections within the

This fence was 564 in. high and surrounded the plant area.
Three or fOur strands of barbed wire, directed outwards,

thelence was a 3 m. wide strip of sand, which in turn
was followed by a three or four strand wire fence. The
sand strip was checked each morning and evening by the

markings. Lights on poles inside the plant area illum-

(Points 22 and 23) was going. on.
3. Personnel, upon reporting at the plant, told their pees numbers to the
guard at the Main entrance. The guard, after checking- the Person ?
against his photograph, issued the pass.' The person then proceeded
.into the zavod proper, after showing the pass to a guard just as he
entered. On many Occasions, the specialists exchanged passes to see
if the guar were really alert. They found that the guards usually
were alert and noticed the discrepinCiee. The patsies had to ?be shown
to gulids again when a worker entered a restricted area such as the
test stand area, the 00 building, and Wodkshop 1. In addition to
the usual restricted areas, any area 'could be declared restricted
if a State' Test was to be run in it. '
4. When the workers arrived at their specific offices and workshops, the
passes were dropped into a box'for. that purpos e located at the door.
The time and attendance people closed the box and took it away at
? Working time so that it was immediately apparent who was late or
miseing.

5. Passes it the plant were the same in format for all, workers. . The
passes were reissued each year, usually in January or February, and
? all workers were photographed each year for this purpose. Visitors
to the plant had to report to the pass issue office (Point 10), where
a temporary pass was issued.
6. The pass itself was paper glued into a calico folder. The pass had
the words 'Otdel (Section) and Tsekh (Workshop) and blank liner
printed on it; all other data were written in ink. The pass picture
was 'printed so that one corner was left blank, over which a stamp
was affixed.
The size shown, however, is approximately accurate.

7. In order to gain admittance to a restricted area, a special stamp
was needed in the lass. This was usually a circled number which had
no relation to the .respective section number and which was changed'
from year to year. A workman working in a certain restricted section
would have the number valid for that section stamped twice on his
pass. If he occasionally had business in another restricted section,
he had the number valid for that section stamped only once on his
pass. However, when visiting the second restricted section, an
additional paper was needed to supplement the stamp. Thie pass
iyitem for restricted areas was introduced during the beginning of
1953. Por those workers who had to work during evening or un-
usual hours, a list of names was provided the guards, or another
special stamp with a signature across it was' necessary.
Guards
S. estimated number of guardenmployed at the plant to be
80-100 persons, equally divided between nen and women. The guards
had no special Uniforms. They were armed for the most part with
carbines. The. hours of guard duty varied accohling to the time of
the year-and the. weather. In the wintertime, for example, airuard
Would have an outdoor post for one hour, whereas in the slimmer he:
