"Kalibr" is one of four tool-making plants provided for in the first Five-Year
Plan. Objectige of the plan was to centralize all USSR tool production. The
other three plants are (1) "Frezer" Plant in the southeastern suburb of
Moscow (producing cutters); (2) one drill-making plant; and (3) one cutting-
tool maXing plant. the drill-making plant is in Kiev and the
cutting-tool makiag plant is in Gorikiy. The "Keine plant is located in the
northern part of Moscow, near the suburb of Rostokino, within a semi-circle
formed by the railroad lines. 50X1
3. According to the "Plan" cost of the plant was set at 50 million rubles.
Construction started in 1931; by 1932, buildings 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11,12,16;17,
and 18 were completed L3ee Table I 'Enclosure (Agand the plant began operation
while the finishing shop was. located temporarily in building No 2.
4. The plant was in a state of "breakdown" for two years and could not produce.
In 1933 and 1934, building No .6- was built (finishing shop), and the plant
started to produce.
5. As a result of the haste with which the plant was built, poor quality of
building materials, and orders from the central authorities to save building
materials, the wooden ceilings started to rot. The ceiling of Amilding No 4
was rotted all the way through by 1935 and was replaced by a ceiling of
reinforced concrete.
6. Prn6lintion. The plant produced limit gauges, micrometers, inside caliper
guages,Johanson blocks, and other precision measuring tools.

7. Source of Ecuipment.--All metal-working machine tools and laboratory equipment
kaosolute and relative interferometers, etc) were received from Germany. Boilers,
tr nsformers, pumps; ventilators, pneumatic pumps and compressors were Soviet-m de.
The universal turning lathe Was also Soviet-made, a DIP type, produced by the
Serp i Molot Plant in Moscow.
8. Production_process.--Stamping in Shop No 1, mechanical processing in Shop No 2,
thermic processing (hardening and tempering) inShop No 3, and complete finishing
(partly mechanical and partly by hand) in Shop No 6 ee'Table IlMlosure (A).7
9. Plant bottleneck.--The bottleneck of the plant has always been a lack pf qualified
workers, mainly for hand-made finishing.
10. Plant stamp.
11. Inspection.7 -A special "Section of Technical Control" existed in the plant. The
head of that section was placed directly under the plant director.

13. Material supply of the plant.--High-quality tool steel was supplied by one of the
Moscow plants (very small quantity).
14. Power sources.--High voltage electric current was supplied by the Moscow network.
The network draws its current from a series of power plants: the Moscow MGES
5Ydroelectr1c Power Statiog which operates on coal, the Kashira Plant which
operates on turf, etc. Power is brought to the transformer station by two cables
from opposite ends of the plant. From the transformer a 220/380 volts current is
distzibuted to the shops through underground cables.
15. Gas comes from the Moscow gas network through an underground pipe (approximately
eight inches in diameter). Water comes from the Moscow city network.
16. A speci'..-' fire-prevention network operates from pumps located in building No 10.
Pressure (s-Ten atmospheres) supply is from underground tanks in building No 11.
In case of interruption in the city water supply, an artesian well is used (building
No 18). This well is operated on compressed air (NAMUT system - airlift pump).
17. Dwellings. ? :louses were built for workers and employees of the plant. All houses
arefive-stce7 buildings with three-room-and-kitchen apartments. The walls are made
of brick, 1I bricks thick. Beams and floors are of wood. There is running water,
sewage, and electricity. The buildings must be completely dilapidated at the
present time.
18. Plant aewage system. --The sewage system is double. Rain water is drained through
. _
concrete pipes tiathe railroad ditch. Dirty water is drained through ceramic pipes
to the-city sewage system.
