USSR PLANTS PRODUCE MOTOR VEHICLES, BUSES, DUMP TRUCKS
KUlAISI PLANT LAGS -- Tbilisi, Zarya Vostoka, 11 Dec 5u
For a long time, the Kutaisi Motor Vehicle Plant nas not been fulfilling
its production assignment. The plant has been especially remiss in carrying
out the orders of the ministry and the main administration. These orders in-
structed the plant to organize the production of more motor-vehicle units and
parts, so that other plants would no longer have to ship parts to Kutalsi.
The plant has failed to meet several deadlines for eroaucing rear axles. At
first, it was supposed to start producint, tircu in June 1953. Then October 1953
was set as the deadline, but this goat was not u.er? The Flant recently received
its last shipment of rear axles from couL:eratir,_ plants, and from now or is sup-
posed to produce its own rear axles.
Chief Technologist Chernomordik, who is responsible for the production of
rear axles, was unable to organize the necessary tool Waking and stamping work
connected with the output of rear axles. On i61 October 1953, Bukiya, director
of the plant, reproached Chernomordik for using makeshift processes instead of
efficiently organizing the tool and stamping shops.
Chernomordik, Chief Engineer Ivanyuk, Chief Metallurgist Borisov, and
Chief of the Technological Division Benkin draw up good plans for the plant
but do not carry them out efficiently.
The Technical Supply Division of the plant, headed by Kobaladze, does
not keep abreast of the plant's needs and often fails to order supplies on
time. In November, the foundry, motor, and other shops were idle for 10 days
because the Technical Supply Division failed to obtain coke. On 17 and 18 No-
vember, the foundry could not make any castings because there was no coal or
mazut.

work. The foundry, forging, and heat-treating shops are doing unsatisfactory
The division which arranges external cooperation is doing poor work,-in
that all shops are frequently idle because of shortages of metal, parts, and
tools.
The Division of Capital Construction, headed by G,garin, was supposed to
complete living quarters No 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, and 13 in the third quarter 1953,
but failed to do so.
The plant receives little help from the Main Adrinistration of Motor Ve-
hicle Industry (chief, Krylov), Ministry of Machine Building USSR. Parts fre-
quently have to be flown to the plant, thus adding to production costs.
The plant still turns out defective and nonstandard r.roducts. In 10 months
of 1953, the plant lost 500,000 rubles because of defective output. In this
period, the plant received 16 complaints about trucks and 11 about engines and
spare parts.
PRODUCE TRACTOR TRUCK -- Moscow, Tekhnika Molociezhi, Jan 54
The Yaroslavl' Motor Vehicle Plant produces the YaAz-21OG six-wheel trac-
tor truck, which can haul a trailer load of 40 tons. The tractor truck has a
metal body which holds 3 tons; thus the total nay loaf of the YaAZ-2106 is 43
tons. When not pulling a trailer, the tractor truck is loaded with bricks ox
iron burs for ballast.
The truck has a winch with a capacity of 12 tons and a cable 100 meters
long. There is also an auxiliary winch for changing the wheels, which weigh
150 kilograms each.
The tractor truck and trailer have 24 wheels, each with independent sus-
pension. All wheels have air brakes.
The truck is powered by the YaAZ-206 two-cycle diesel with direct-flow
scavenging. This six-cylinder engine devcloua 200 horsepower, and 90 percent
of its parts are interchangeable with the four-cylinder YaAZ-204 engine.
The truck has separate propeller shafts for the middle and rear axles.
The transfer case is of.a new type, with a differential between axles. This
differential permits the middle and rear driving axles to rotate at different
speeds when driving on rough roads. This differential can be locked by a spe-
cial coupling for travel on slippery roads.
