RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AT THE ICHIMKOMINAT
8. Since the production Of the Kiikombinat was centered about
vat dyes and their starting and intermediate compounds, as
well as azo dyes and their intermediates such as p.;>nitraniline
ad nitroanipidines, our assignment, broadly, was to provide
the Soviets with the necessary Procedures and 'techniques to
produce these dyes in. quantity and in acceptable quality. The
program to be followed was one ,Of development from the laboratory
stage through the pilot scale to the works Scale of produOtion:4'
This program was considered important by the Soviets because"-
of military use in uniforms and for colored.trim for'unifOrms.
In addition to theSe'particUlar dyes, we worked on Indigosols--
a solubilized form of vat dyes--and miscellaneous items such
as p-aminosalicylic acid, organic sulphur compounds and indicator
dyes for acid-base, systems. In view of the fact that organic
nitro compounds were made in the plant, it would be reasonable
to assume that the processes could be readily, converted to
explosive production Should the need 'arise. This sort'mf change
was made at Wolfen during World War Ii. The. dye .production
techniques we advocated followed the usual German induitrial

was of good quality. The resultingeltnaphihioglycol was

opposite wall served for taller set-ups starting at the floor.
? Agitation was provided by a common pulley shaft running the
length of the bench and was powered by a moter'outeide the
room itself. Power failures caused losSofnmsand many irrita-

except by the distance from the. object, or by means of burners
using the gas-benzene vapor piped to the building from the
