Plant Installations
There t^1ias on old rolling mill and the excavation for a nee
one started in early 1948.. This mill Is eventually to include,
the site of TV. Ctm.p !To. 7629. A new power station with three
boilers has been under construction next to the old ncrier sta-
tion since 1942.. One of the boilers was desi j ned for coal firing,
the other two presumably for has firing, the gas to be supplied by
the coking- plant located to the north. The coal boiler rias put
in operation in late 1948; the other two boilers were schedi,led
to be put into operation in early 1949.. It tp"e.s hot known
whether th-- fixed time tar. gat as met. Tha plant has numerous
spur tracks (see mnex) .
a. .she existence of the Bakalstroi Iron and Steel Plant ,
about 7 miles north of C11-7LYABIN -, beta-peen the villa ;es of
i`. .A.."?J-,EV0 and KRUGLOYE, was known before.
Comment
b. Exhaustive and correct information on all the installations
25X1 of this important plant can never be obtained fTojrTy
ever, this report, Yhen compared with previous information,
seems to furnish a correct picture of the Sereral distribution
of the most important plant installations and gives credible
details on the size and type of construction of the individual
buildings.

A r'uestion r t#'k has been placed at the side of the arr6w
indicating the cardinal point. l.;.eT;.Iever, the a; roement of the
distribution of the individual plant departments as repre-
sented on the attached luinex '??ith a former report and the
same reed; esentation of the plant spur tracks leading to the
plant in an I and 6VI1 direction make it probable that the
cardinal, point was correctly stated.
0. Of particular interest is the. statement on the construc-
tion of a sevbnd rolling mill (Annex, No. 3). This confizris
a previous report. An intended increase of the plant capacity
can be inferred from the construction of this second rolling
mill.
d. Further information of a more recent date is required in
order to clarify the picture of this plant.
