The Leningrad Plant imen.i !'toraya Pyat.iletka, which specializes in the
production of papermaking machinery, has equipped the iiamskiy and Mariyskiy
Celluose-Paper Combines and combines in Kondopoga, Segezha, Arkhangel'ak,
and Solikamsk with papermaki:ig machinery. Plant personnel have pledged to
build new machinery in 1953 for the production of especially strong grades
of paper, motion-picture film, fine leatheroid (fibra), and corrugated
cardboard. The proportion of new machines built. by the plant in 1153 will
account for 48 percent of i..- total commodity output.
In the next few years NflRUISASh (Scientific Research Institute for
Planning Papermaking Machines) and the Leningrad Plant imeni Vtoraya
Pyatiletka must develop a series of high-speed machines for making newsprint.
High-speed machines can raise the output of paper 75 percent for each
working man and 30 percent for each square meter of floor space occupied by
the machines. Consequently, the expenditures in building new papermaking
enterprises could he considerably reduced.
However, certain technical problems will have to be solved before
special high-speed papermaking machines can be developed.
The Ministry of Chemical Indusir;; must develop a s.ecial type of rubber
for making a stable coating for tul,ular rollers. Rer:ster rollers, for
example, must be covered with an impermeable rubber. Present brass encased
rollers which are subject to corrosion must be replaced by rubberized per-
forated suction rollers.

The Ministry of Metallurgical industry must produce roils o". increased
hardness for calendars and super-caler-de-n. and tuber- of a cpecia- rolled stock,
both of which will eatirfy increased requirements of dynamic balancing.
To build high-speed machines, the output of antiffr'.ction benringn for
drying cylinders; suction and other types of roller::; electr:c drive: with a
broad. smooth, and steady range of adjustment: etc., must be organized.
The expansion of existing enterpriser i- the be: >:ay of raising pro-
duction with the least cost. Thus, the Ministry of :'achine Building must
supplement the equipment at the plants imeni Vtoravn Pyott]etl:a, imeni
Rorhal', and ~ i Artem with various machines and r.echani ms, machine tools,
and hoist and transport equipment., while the scienti.i'c research and technical
center for the development of machines must be strengthened and expanded. --

An automatic photoengraving machine invented by N. P. Tolmachev was
demonstrated at a recent meeting of the newspaper Section and Orgburo of the
.:11-Union Scientific and Technical Society of the Polygraphic Industry. The
machine is portable and producer cliches by an electromechanical process.
The new process embodies a power head system which makes it possible to
engrave by mechanical means. The system of intensification makes it possible
to modify the tonal if- n; regnirnl a??-i-g ~ti,~ renre~,' 'r- prtr.e"F. A size cliche can be prepared in 10 - 15 minutes on the new machine;.whereas the
existing zincographic method requires 2 hours. Furthermore, less uime in work-
ing with chemicals will promote healthier working conditions. A very small
;pace is required by the machine, and it can be operated by a semiskilled
worker. Another advantage is that the machine can engrave any metal or plastic
matrix.
The new photoengraving method is also effective in color printing. Elec-
trical color separation ran he -nplied in the new system. It is possible to
obtain several cliches at the same time for the required number of colors. This
system not only ensures speed in manufacture but also an absolutely accurate
register.
The machine mades it possible to engrave cliches from. paintings. by first
recording the paintings on film. The process can also be used in the textile
industry.
In the lost few years inctriment -making- enterprises have put out pre-
cision instruments and tools for the use of designers and draftsmen. However,
there is insufficient output of these nstruments and enterprises making them
disrecard the inquiries of desi:-ners and draftsmen.
In Leningrad it. is 'mpossibie to nuy the most essential instruments for
designing and blueprint work, and e:,rineers question whether it is such a
forhddinr problem to manufacture them.
Plants and factories are well equipped with instruments for the use of
machinists but not for desi;-ners and draftsmen.
The production of draftin- machines was mastered recently. These machines
--e convenient for mechanical drawing. The drawing board can be ad,iusted to
auy height, and two perpend'cular straight edres permit drawing parallel lines
quickly; and accurately at any anrle. At the rapromashpribor Institute, 12
such drafting machines have been standing idle for a long time, because the
straight edges have become unusalbe and new ones cannot he bought anywhere.
Designers and draftsmen are in chronic need of such necessary computing
instruments as to arithmic scales a'. least 250 millimeters long. Both log-
arithmic scaler and straight edges a-c manufactured at the Leningrad Computing
Instruments Factory. However, since they are made in insufficient quantities
and are distributed by the 14inistry of Local Fuel Industry, they are seldom
procurable.
Many planning organizations and design bureaus do not have drawing
boards. It is practically impossible to find a hoard 2 meters long, and
engineers are forced to crowd their measurements.

not for sale in stores. The Kamensi;-Uralskiy Electrical Machinery Plant made
them in 1952, but for some reason does not make them now. Since the Leningrad
Plant imeni V. M. Molotov produces tape suitable for measuring, this problem
could be solved without difficulty.
The Leningrad Computing Instruments Factory is one of the few enter-
prises in the Soviet Union making logarithmic ccales, protractor,.', and other
designing -and mechanical drawing accec;:gries. The factory's monthly plans
are consistently overfulfil.'ed. but it cannot yet satisfy the continuously
growing demands. In the last few yea hundreds of people have learned to use
logarithmic ccales, i.ut cannot ;:et them because of limited output.
Although plans have teen ride for the expansion of instrument-making
facilities at the factor:', little has been done. It is therefore up to the
factory management to find methods of increaaLnr, production of there instru-
ments under existing facili+ies.
