The ;oakovski Orrdena Lenina Stcnkostroitelny Zavod Krasny Proletari
(yosc W Order of Lenin Machine Tool Factory "Red Proletarian`),
controlled by the '.,Ministry of Machine Tool Cons.Truetion, is one of the
oldest machine tool factories in the USSR. It was founded about 1860.
The factory'has been enlarged considorably since the revolution and is
now one of the largest machine tool factories in the country. Expansion
was particularly noticeable in 1931 and 1932.
The factory is located at 15 Malaya Kaluzhskaya ulitsa, Moscow. A branch
line about 1.5 km in length connects the factory with Kanatchikovo Station
on the Moscow Circular Railway. This branch line crosses the following
streets? 5th, 6th, and lst Donskoi PY+ atd-

The factory produces lathes of all types. Specialization in the produc-
tion of lathes began in 1929 with mass production of DIP-ZO lathes. This
was followed by the production of "'DiP-500 and Model 26 lathes. Initially,
the lathes produced by the factory were for general use; but later the
factory turned out special lathes of a complicated design made up of several
components, as well as semi-automatic and automatic lathes. During the war,
the factory produced special ]athes for the aviation industry, ordnance
factories, transport machinery works, and ammunition factories.

In addition, the factory produces other lathes for special purposes. The

produced. For-instance., Model 94 and others are based on DiP-300, and the
designs of several other lathes are based on DiP-200.
In the, K.rasny Proletari Factory, as in all machine factories in the USSR,
the First Engineering Shop (Pervy liekhanicheski Tselth) has a department
for the production of agricultural parts. In 1947, approximately 100,000
of these articles, consisting mainly of spare parts for tractors, were
produced* of these, about 60*000 were tractor gears and forks.

9. In February 194E-,. the factory p&odgod itself to complete the Five Year
Plan in four years. As the factory is unable to increase, to any great
extent, its personnel or equipment, it hopes to fulfill this promise by
bringing about organizational and technical improvements, including the
following:
a. :Nigh-speed method of metal treatment (motod skorostnoi
obrabotki netallov), supervised by an engineer of the
factory named Bolotin.
83: Vertical six-spindle multiple-tool semi-automatic lathe for
Large-scale use of so-called dapted" (prisposoblenny) machine
tools. These are universal meal,-cutting; machine tools
specially adapted for carrying out a particular operation.
Increase in the employment of conveyer belts.
10. The high:-speed method of metal treatment, obtained by increasing the
rpm of lathes and by using cutting tools made from hard alloys, was in use
on a small scale at the Krasny Proletari Factory during the war. This
method is now beirg.introduced throughout the factory. The hard alloys are
received from the Moscow Hard Alloys Combine. Among the alloys used are
T-30K4, T-50, and T-150,

11. Technological equipment for adapted machine tools is produced by the
factory tool shop. During the first six months of 1.948 the factory produced
almost as much as during the whole of 1947. This comprised about 2,500
miscellaneous tools, about 500 stamps.of various types, and about 7,000
special tools.
12. As a result 6f these measures, output has increased considerably with the
corresponding reduction in the number of man/hours required for a particular
operation. Examples of this areas follows:
a. In 1946, the production of a universal multiple-tool semi-
automatic lathe Model 44 required about 1,800 man hours;;
in 1947, about 1,300 man/hours;, and in 1948, about 1,100 man hours.
b. In 1946, when the multiple-tool semi-automatic lathe ;rodel 1830
was first manufactured, production required about 13,000 man/hours;,
in 1947, about 10,000 roan/hours; and in 1948, about 8,500 man:/.Zourso
c. In 1946, in the first year of production? the multiple-tool
seTni-automatic. lathe lodel 183 required about 10,500 man/hours"
in 1947, about 8,500 man/hours;, and in 1948, about 7,500 man/hours.
The man/hours given above do not include time spent on. articles manufactured
in other factories, such as ball fbea rings and castings. Time spent on paint-
ing and packing of machine tools is included.
13. The quality of the machinery produced is. rising annually as aresult of
improvement. in technical control and technological processes, introduction
of conveyer belts: and automatic equipment which reduces individual errors
and inaccuracies, and increased experience of the workmen.
14. Informant states that the DiP-300 and DiP-200 lathes, mass-produced by
the Krasny Proletari Factory at the beginning of the war and in use at the
factory, required complete overhaul after two years. The lathes were operated
on three shifts, often by inexperienced workmen. At present, lathes are
operated for 3 - 4 years without requiring overhaul and without loss of efficiency,
although they work three shifts.,
