1.
The meetings were taken up in discussion of resolutions presented for consider-
ation. The subjects covered were specific problems peculiar only to pulleys
and belts, No technical papers were presented.
2.
The Soviet delegate that attended this section of the meeting, Michail
Michajiovits Saerin, like all the Curtain area delegates, was listed only as
a member of the standardization committee, although it seems unlikely they
are all primarily employed in the Bureaux There was nothing said that would
indicate what other interest he had,
3,
He did not pretend to speak English but was accompanied by an interpreter.
When she hesitated while translating for him, he would invariably prompt her,
in Russian, showing that he could follow her,
4.
The resolutions suggested by him were not well conceived and were generally
voted down promptly. For example, in the USSR, the length of an endless
V-belt is taken as the-inside length. In other countries the pitch length is
used, which is measured at about the center of the cross section. Saverin
proposed that the inside length be made standard but the resolution was
naturally voted down immediately. He took all such rejections without any
sign of resent,
5,
1 had no opportunity to talk with him, or the Polish delegates, outside the
meetings as they seemed to vanish at the end of the day.
6.
The interpreter, Miss ~I id) Mi,kbailova, spoke fluent Oxford English and 25X1
handled even the technical translations very ably,
70
M R Jankowski., attended irregularly as he was trying to cover several cao~aittees.
Neither of them took any part in the discussions and confined their activities
to listening and voting,
8,
Mr Dobrovolaki is a Professor at the University of Warsaw, From limited
conversations, I would class him as an able technical man, friendly toward
everyone,
