topped off with sobapbo barbed wire .70 meters high.
the wall has a total length of approximately
7,000 meters.

2. The production of gas:
This plant produced an oderless and coiorlcse ? used in,
industry and in homes. Some was bottle or ome c use,
oke and coal i unsmeciaified pro ortions were used to make gas.
The machined '~~German and was brought
to the Soviet Un on from Germany ter World War II. The plant 25X1
itself was built by German POW.
25X1
The plant equipment consisted of 6,boilers each with a diameter
of 20 neters and a height of about 7.5. Coal or coke are burnt
in these .boilers to produce the gas. ( 6
There were six filters ( 7 ) wh# a called " Pilnik " which
rurified the gas with sprays of water. An additional six filters
were on hand as reserves. The sparya of water removed the solid
matter from the gas and also cooled it.,~
After leaving the filters the gas goes to a machine wh.vh does
not 1 ok like a pump but hae.the same function. This machine
force;the gas under pressure to various points. This machine
( with a spare on hand ) force gthe gas to a railroad switch yard,
for the water towers, j systems of endless chains which eed`'coke l'',i
or coal to the boArl-erEV; One is a vertical system which brings--the
fuel to the level of the hoppers and the other travel horizontally
and _br~s,, the fuel directly to the boilers.. There ~6, six blowers
which-giv?"the boilers forced draft. On the 2nd story there
ape four ventilator blower fans for each boiler. The plant is
equipped with blowers set in the window to help circulate the air.
All these fans are powered by electric motors especially designed
to withstand heat and smoke.
On the 2nd and 3rd floors were control p1es with intruments
which determined gas density, pressure, temperature, vome etc.IV25X1
there was also a laboratory ( floor mn which
located was not svecified ) which was well eautted.
In addition there mother machines such as the ten umps?',
and to the city.
3. Labor force:

_A
,
The plant employed about 400 men working 6 shifts of 4 hours
per shift.
The workers were equipped with felt boots and heat resisting glove
They were forced to wear a kind of a gas mask.
Safety patrol :
Specially equipped and specially trained patrols looked after
the safety of the workers. They wore felt boots and used pants
and jackets made out of water-proof, heat resisting material and
a gas mask. Several types of masks were used but the most common
was one without a face. It had a mouth piece and a kind of a clip
that went over the nose. Goggles protected the eyes. Oxygae bottles
with four hour capacity were carried on the back.

a reserve supply of coke and coal sufficient for two days of
operations. The daily consumation in terms of tons was 960 tons
of coal and between 200 to 300 tons of coke.
The gasoline used by the ptant's three trucks and two light

Drinking water came from the city's water supply while water
used in the plant came from the Dnieper river. Two cylindrical
containers made out of reinforced concrete and about 100 meters
in diameter by 10 meters high which were used as water reserves.
In addition there were 3 steel water towers approximately 10 to

not specified. Water from the plant was pumped to the towers and
from here it flowed into the pool after spraying against a metal
screen . The water was cooled in this manner and used again in the
plant. Waste waters returned to the Dnieper river.

the train. There were a number of cranes of unspeciaified capacity
connected with the loading and unloading of coal.
The trains which brought the coal to the plant had no special
schedule and remained just long enough at the plant to unload
their cargo.

The gas generator or boiler was made of steel with a thickness
of about 25mm. The boiler has a water jacket approximately 340 mm
thick to prevent over heating. The beii4 "was in the form of a
open cylinder covered,at the top on which there were nine openings
into which steel rods were placed and used to stir the coke in
the interior of the boiler. Each rod had a knob in the shap-of
an artichoke which directed steam downwards. Besides these
openings there was a metal stack through which the smoke came when
the miler was, lghWed. The boiler was supported by four,
reinforged ebeeoo concrete columns and decorated with a band of
glazed bricks,
Under each boiler was a water trap to preventthe escape of
gas. There was also a mechanical device consisting of two ftot aing
blades within the boiler which broke up the clinkers and aided
the circulation and draft.

About 2 or 3 cubic meters of kindling was necssary/'to light the

and ignited. When it was burning proly, more coal was put on

than forces the gas through the outlet system. While the gas

Plant no. 4 and 5 had two outlets: one went to the main plant and
the other to Dnepropetrovsk.
The gas conduits leaving the plant were about 1.5 meters undergroun
In order to maintain the outgoing gas at an optimum temperature,
the as conduit was wound with a flexible steam pipe.
The gas conduit
had an inside diameter of about 1.5 meters and its total length,
was about 600 meters. This was the conduit between plant no 4 and
5 and the main plant. The gas conduit going to the city was about
40 to 50 CM in dimater and of unspeciaified length. This main
gas line was protected by a concrete and brick covering which help;

to maintainthe proper temperature, protected the steel from
humidity and made repairs easier.
Pint security-:
In addition to the usual 2 or three guards at each entrance to the
plant there were outside guards as well. The plant asibilm was
well illuminated by floodlights at night. The exterior guards used
dogs whose leashes were tied to a cable b a rin permitting guthe
dogs to cover a large area. about 50 25X1
made up the security guard.
The workers had the usual " propusk " as identification.
The color of this card was changed every year. Besides this pass
each worker had a metal disk with a number. Upon entering the plant,
this metal disk was left with the guard and the workmen picked up
their metal disks upon leaving the plant. Each man entered and left
the plant through a prescribed door. Workers could circulate from
one section to another but they were kept too busy to do so.
The fire fighting crew consisted about 100 men divided into six
shifts. They had 3 fire rucks and 1 hook and ladder track besides
the usual fire fighting equipment such as axes, crow bare etc.
The fire fighting crew was assisted by the safety patrol and the
workers themselves who were trained to fight fires.
