STATE BEARING PLANT USES STATISTICAL CONTROL METHOD -- Moscow, Vechernyaya
Moskva, 2 Mar 51
The statistical control method is being applied successfully in the
automatic lathe stop, small series shop No 1, ball-bearing section, rod
and tube bearing section, and other sections of the,First State Bearing
Plant imeni L. M. Kaganovich.
The groove-grinding division of the ball-bearing shop had not been ful-
filling its plan and had been turning out defective parts. By the combined
efforts of Stakhar..ovitea, technologists, and repair men, all the equipment
has been put in order and tested for accuracy. This has made it possible
to use the statistical control method on 32 machine tools. Many grinding
machine operators have increased their output, eliminated waste, and now
machine only excel~e,Pt races while operating two or three machine tools.
The groove-grinding division promises to fulfill its March plan 3 days ahead
of time, to win the title of excellent-quality division, and to put 50 groove-

There had been a great deal of waste in the automatic lathe shop because
of the eccentricity end depth of the races. Technologists replaced wort sup-
ports w'_th new ones and replaced ,haw chucks with collet chucks, thus in-
creasing accuracy and decreasing waste.
BEARING PLANT SAVES METAL -- Moscow, Moskovskaya Pravda, 14 Mar 51
During the Stakhanovite watch in honor of the session of the Supreme
Soviet USSR, the First State Bearing Plant imeni L. M. Kaganovich Baved more
than l00 tons of metal, and hundreds of thousands of rubles on tools and aux-
il~.ary materials. It asse>rbled tens of thousands of bearings above plan.

USE OLD BEARINGS TO REPAIR STZ-NATI TRACTOR -- Moscow, Seriya Remont, Feb 51
In repairing the STZ-NATI tractor, it is often necessary +:o replace two
4010 support roller bearings with a single support roller bearing from the
ChTZ tractor. mhis is done by turning the STZ-NATI support roller down to
40 millimeters on a lathe and fitting the ChTZ bearing to it with the aid
of several discarded ChTZ piston rings.
SUPPORT ROLLER BEARINGS WEAR QUICKLY -- Moscow, Seriya Remont, Feb 51
The support roller bearings for the 5-80 tractor are pressed into the
roller housing and fastened with six bol+.s. According to the factory, a
clearance of minus 0.041 millimeter to plus 0.100 millimeter is percissible
in fitting the bearings into the roller housing.
During operation, the bearing becomes loose in the housing, and all the
load is tra-lsferred to the bear~.n6 fastening bolts, which weaken and finally
shear off. When this happens, the bearing stands still aad the roller oper-
ates with great friction against the bearing body. The external surface of
the bearings and the walls of the openings in the support rollers wear away.
Together with the wear on the bearings, the self-tightening packing glands
get out of order, and lubrication of the support rollers is disrupted.
The Yer:.:~ov MPS, Saratov Oblast, hvs devised a special ,jig for machining
and res+,oring support roller bearings.
DIFFERENTIAL RIM Gr.ARS CRACK. AT ?RIVETS -- Moscow, Seriya Remont, Feb 51
The differential rim gear of the SKhTZ wheeled tractor has four rivet
grooves equally spaced along i+.s circumference. These grooves are for the
rivets which hold the rim gear to the boss of the right half of the differ-
ential housing (part 111). The rim has 75 teeth. Since this figure cannot
be divided by 4, all the grooves do not coincide with a tooth axis. Usually,
one of them coincides with the a::is of a tooth and the rest are displaced.
In this case, one of the grooves is so close to the root of a tooth that it
weakens the rim, and cracking and breaking often take place here. To rem-
edy this defect, the rivet grooves should be relocated so that they fall
in line with the axes of the gear teeth. This should be done without
changing the rotat~_on characteristics of the rim,
IyP-54 FUEL PUMPS MALFUNCTION AFTER SRORT SERVICE -- Moscow, Seriya Remont,
Feb 51
The feel pump rod guide of the DT-54 tractor is not fixed at the point
..d..~..n ,ti,e 5,01 ~_ rin anA +Y,o rnA crnmiin? are .ioined. After s:iiiiht wear of
theme,joint parts, the rod guide becomeavdisconnected from the rod coupling.
As a result, there is overfeeding ana consequent waste of fuel, and it be-
comes impossible to regulate ?uel Peed. This can cause a oreakdown of the
diesel motor. The Sovkhoz iWeni Budenty, Shadrinakiy Rayon, Kurgansk Ob-
last, is installing one-piece fuel pump rods of altered desigsi which can
be made in any MTS shop.

MODERNI7,E MACRINE TOOLS FOR HIGH-SPEED NATAL CUTTIIi(i -' Stalinabad, Kommunist
Tadzhikistana, 14 Mar 51
High-speed metal cutting is Minding ever wider application at the Sta-
torabfan pulleysdand platons~forithemUnivers letraactorPoandhcther partstrac-
The former maximum cutting speed at this plant was 40-50 meters per
minute; now it is 100-200 meters per. minute. The plant had more than 50
machine tools working on the high-speed method at the beginning of 1951?
The plant's machine tools were not sufficiently powerful Yor conversion to
high-speed cutting, but in almost every case it was possible to modernize
them by increasing their power and rotation speed. This task did not require
much work or time.
The plant's workers are chiefly young people who have graduated Prom
trade schools. Many of them are aleoBle did not receiveoeven an elementary
it moat be noted that these young p p
understanding of high-sped metal cutting or of the new geometrical prin-
ciples oY cutting tools in the trade schools. This must be attributed to
serious shortcomings in the trade school courses, which should be corrected
by the Administration of Labor Reaerv:s.

No 19, the Centc?al Automobile Park of Lenenergo, (Leningrad 'Iegionel Electric

consumption of lubricants like nigrol and solidol by one half, to the detri-
ment of motor transport.
Documents available at the Krasnyy Neftyanik ietroleum Base show what

BICYCLE PLANT ADOPTS NEW METRODS -- Riga, Sovetskaya Latviye, 6 Mar 51
The Riga Sarkana Zvaygzne Bicycle Plant has increased the output per
unit of equipment 20 percent in one year. by applying high-speed met`~ods,
modernizing machine tools, and extending Stakhanovite methods. Last year
the enterprise fulfilled the plena for gross production and range of items
and gave the state 2,276,000 rubles above the plan. Bicycle output in
1950 was five times the prewar output.
In the near future, the plant will increase the speed of metal cutting
on automatic machine tools to 120 meters a minute, and will raise the pro-
duc+.ivity of milling machines 50 percent. Welding will be mechanized and
made automatic, and many parts which are now ground will be drop forged.
