1.. The Serbo Ordzhonikidze Machine Tool Factory (Mosakovski Stankostroitelny
Zavod imeni 5erlao Ordzhonikidze) is located at 21 5th Donskoi Proyezd,
Deninski District, near Kaluzhskaya 21astava, Moscow. A saecial wide-
gauge railway branch line leads to the Ordzhonikidze Factory from
Kanatchikovo station of the Moscow Circular Railway.
2- In the vicinity of the Sergo Ordzhoni'.idr a I'a.ctory is another machine tool
factory. known as Stankokonstruktsiya (Machine Tool Construction) Factory,
which is an e:rperinental factory of the I'apperimental Scientific Research
.rxsti :;ute for D'ietal.-cutting Machine Toole (IM? ` t 5 -- Ekspearimentalny Hauchno'.
I ssledovatr l iy Insti.tut Metallorezhushchikh Stankov).
3. The factory is controlled by the Chief Directorate of Machine Tool Con-
struction Industry of the Ministry of Machine Tool Construction of the
?1SSR and is one of the largest m chine tool factories in the country.
4.. `There is another Ordzhonikidze Factory in Moscow, namely, that of the
Ministry of Transport Machinery, the director of which s Rogoroditski.
Also at Podolsk, near Moscow, is the Ordzhonikidze Factory of the Ministry
of Heavy Machinery, the director of which is Khahenski.
5. The erection of the factory was begun in 1928 on the initiative of S.
Ord.zhonikidte. In 1931, the first stage was completed and in 1932 product- on
was bs,?un. In 1934: the second stare of the factory' was completed.,
6. The factory has its own large farm at the vills..ge of Boryakizio in Kaluga
Oblast, with over 500 hectares of land under grain and vegetables. This
farm Is well-egilp,)ad with tractors, ploughs, and other agricultural
machinery. About 2 , 000 of the workmen and employees hawse their own ''kitchen
gardens In the Leninskiye Gory (hills) (e. -Yorobeviye Gory), near Moscow
mid at other places.
" ne of Product
When -production was first started, the factory was s)roducing in large seriev
turret lathes and several ty aes of automatic and semi-automatic lathes, su::c
as 14 aindled lathes of type 123 and semi-automatic lathes of type 116.

z. Four types of pipe-threading machines.
aa. Vertical ball-filing automatic machine for the ball-bearing industry.
bb. A large number of aggregate machine tools for automatic lines of
machines.
Co. ?lrachino tool type 1365 was produced in small series and passed for
barge-scale serial production to the Alapaevski Machine Tool Factory.
dd. Early in 1949. production of the turret lathe type 137 was considerably
reduced at the factory. and it is rumored that this machine will be
produced at other machine tool factories.
oe. Aggregate machine tools for boring and drilling buffers and buffer
ct'.sings (stmt) for railway cars. These machines have been sent to
X&IIninaki., Dnerrodzerzhf.nski, and other railway car, works.
ff. Production of cutting machines of type 142 b ceased at the beginning
of 1949.
10. Since 1946, the factory has produced twelve automatic lines of aggregate
machine tools for the treatment of mass-produced articles at transport,
Automobile and tractork and agricultural engineoring (production of combine
haraa?esters) factories.
11. Automatic lines of aggregate machine tools have been built for the Stalin
Automobile Works in Moscow, the Stalingrad Tractor Works, the Nizhni Tagil
Railway Car Works, the Kirovski Tractor Works at Chelyabinsk, and the Lalinira
Railway Oar Works. For example:
a. An automatic line of aggregate machine tools for the treatment of engine
blocks Of the ZIS track, now in operation at the Stalin Automobile Works,:
Moscow; it produces a completed block about every three minutes. This
line is composed of 45 aggregate machine tools divided into four sections:
1) let Section, consisting of 16 aggregate machine tools (types
A 291 to A-30(, inclusive), treats all holes on upper surfaces.
The length of this section is about 17 meters. Total output
of motors: about 90 I1. Number of spindles: 232,
2) 2nd Section, consisting.of eight machine tools (aggregate machine
tools of types A 261 to A 268, inclusive), treats holes on ends.
Total output of motors: 48 U. Length of line: about eight meters.
Number of spindles: 60.
3) 3rd Section, consisting of 14 machine tools (aggregate machine tools
of types A-421 to A-434, inclusive), treats.holes. on lower surfaces.
Number of spindles: 255. Total output of motors: 74 &'W. Length
of section; about 17 meters.
4) 4th Section, consisting of seven machine tools (aggregate Machine
tools of types A-413 to A-417, inclusive), treats valve holes.
The 2nd. Section was built by the Stankokonstretktsiya Factory, the three
others by the Ordzhonikidze Factory.
b. An automatic line of aggregate machine tools now operating at the 'i hni
Tagil Rallwagy Car Works treats 8.5 different holes In side girders, 12
meters long, for freight care of large capacity. All holes in the girders
are treated in two minutes. The entire process of treating a girder, with
automatic food and release of girder, takes five minutes. The length of
the line Is about 15 meters. Output of all motors: 83 W.

12. The aa.tomatic lines installed and now operating at different factories,
r some of them for three years alreac , have not justified the optimiteti.~t
results which were expected at, first. One of the reasons for this is
stoppage of the line necessitated by the replacement, often prolonged
sn , d1.fficul:t, of the cutting tools. The stoppage of a single legate,
a defect in the electrical equipment, or in something else brings the whole
line to a standstill. Discussions on this problem are in progress among
the. engineering personnel of the Ministry of Machine Tool Construction and
of factories. Heever theless, the Ministry continues to place orders for
automatic lines, hoping that experience will lead to a completely eatisfacto'.'-.7
syetela.
3.3. In 1948, the factory produced about 2,300 machine tools of various types.
Of those, about 45.50 percent were of the universal type, about 30 percent
special machine tools, and about 20-25 percent aggregate machine tools.
14. In l9l i? the assembly of machine tools was reorgani.zedo aggregate and
special machine tools are assembled in one assembly shop, aed universal
n lti-s-aindle automatic and semi-automatic machines In another. Serial
production has; been separated.

15. The factory delivers its machine tools to a very large number of enterprises
of the UM. Aggregate and special machine tools are supplied mainly toy

In close touch with ENINS and a large training combine which trains speoialu.ate
of every kind for the factory.
19, i'hi factory has a branch at Tula, which really serves as Its foundry and
supplies the factory with'castings of various kinds. A large number of castings
