THE SOVIET TOOL-GAGE INDUSTRY IN TBE CURRENT
FIVE-YEAR PLAN
The Ministry of Machine~ool Building bas designated the following tasks to
be completed by tool plants during the current Five-Year Plan in the manufacture
of measuring tools and instruments:
1. To increase the number of types of standardized measuring tools.
2. .To modernize standard designs of measuring tools in order to increase
inspection capacity and wear resistance and assure technical efficiency in con-
struction.
3. To broaden the field for the use of indicators with various attachments,
which would incresse accuracy and inspection capacity in series and mass produc-
tion.
1+. To increase the total volume of production and the mm:ber of types of
precision measuring tools and instruments by the use of electric, pneumatic and
other measuring systems together with the application of mechanical and lever
principles.
5. To broaden the production of automatic checking an3 sorting machines as
well as instruments for automatic checking of work pieces during machining so
that high-production inspection methods can be applied in mass conveyer production.
6. To increase the number of types of gear-mea>3u_~ing devices.
7. To insure the output of a large number of types of measuring instruments
for checking cutting tools.
8. To perfect the production of certain types of special measuring tools for
checking and measuring individual parts, either mass or specially produced, which
have particu}ar importance in ns.tional economy.

CON~IDEN~~AI.
During 1946 - 1947, 800 more types and sizes of measuring tools were pro-
duced at the Kalibr Plant than in 1g45. Included among these tools were thread
plug and ring gages, plug gages, adjustable and plain external gages, combina-
tion squares, rules, plates, internal calipers, micrometers, etc.
The number of types of height gages, micrometers for measuring plates, and
soft and threaded materials has been increased at the Krasnyy instrumental'shchik
Plant.
The number of types of thread gages, wires for measuring threads, micro-
meters of various sizes, etc. has been increased at the Chelyabinsk Tool Plant.
Standar& measuring tools must be modernized in the following ways:
a. Introduction of measuring tool designs which will increase efficiency
and accuracy of measuring.
b. Introduction of surface finishing of working parts of measuring tools
which would increase their wear resistance.
c. Introduction of plastic materials, pressure casting, and die stamp-
ing to increase the technical efficiency of construction.
d. Making types and sizes of measuring tools more precise.
To carry out the above measures, new standards and norms must be developed
by the Scientific Research Bureau of Interchangeability (IVIBV).
During the current Five-Year Plan, smooth gages should be modernized by
more extensive use of depth and height gages (kalibry s nepravleniyem) and by
the use of spring compensators for small plug gages to protect them from breakage.
To increase productivity in checking threads, the output of roe8edecreased.
snap gages should be increased snd the production of thread ring .gag
plant practice has shown-that the use u~ i;uese snap gages increased inspection
capacity up to seven times. In 1947, the Kalibr Plant produced a series of rol-
ler thread snap gages.
In connection with modernizing measuring-tool designs, a great deal of work
must be done by tool plants and the NtEV on tools having large dimensions to make
them lighter in weight.
To increase wear resistance and lengthen the life of measuring tools, working
surfaces must be chrome plated on a large number of toolo such as master forms,
squares, and end gages.
For some types of products, such as micrometers, sliding gages, and external
gages, the measuring surfaces must be made with hard alloy to prolong their length
of service.
Extensive use must be made of plastic materials for holders for various.
types of gages and measuring instruments and for the boxes holding these tools.
For internal measuring indicators; external gages, and microeters ~sll be
the use of light-alloy parts made by pressure casting and die stamping
more extensive.

In 1946, the production of dial indicators fell short of meeting the needs
of the machine-building industry.. The number of types as well as the gross pro-
duction of indicators must be considerably increased during the current Five-
Year Plan. Production of standard and special parts such as various types of
stands, handles, and levers for dial indicators moat also be increased.
In 1g46 - 1947, aeries production on a large scale was begun. at the Kalibr
Plant for the manufacture of indicating internal gages graduated at 0.01 milli-
meter Yor measuring 6- to 400-millimeter diameter holes, with a total of seven
of ointernaingagesswithgrangessfrom 400~to813000 millimeterseis~planned~. ufacture
In 1947, the manufacture of indicators for measuring to an accuracy of 0.001
millimeters was started at the Chelyabinsk Tool Plant
In 1947; the first group of lever indicators with attachments, graduated at
~helproduction ofolevercindicators for measuring to an accuracyloft0.002 millittt~
meter is being perfected.
The Krasnyy instrumental?shchik Plant has started producing indicating depth
gages graduated at 0.01 millimeter with 0-13 millimeter range. The output of
depth gage indicators having various ranges is planned. Production is being
organized for 1947 for the manufacture of small dial indicators graduated at 0.01
millimeter with a 28-millimeter-diameter dial.

Series production has started at the Leningrad Tool Plant for the manufacture
of thickness indicators for measuring thickness of sheet material. Since 1946,
the plant has been producing indicating external gages with 0-50 mil~o 1t000
range and since 1947, with 50-100 millimeter range and higher -- uP
millimeters. Indicating external gages are considerably more efficient than con-
ventional micrometers.
The Leningrad Tool Plant will also manufacture multiple inspection indicators
during the current Five-Year Plsn.
