Title: IMPROVED TRANSFORMER OIL FOR
SUPERHIGH-VOLTAGE POWER LINES
Primary source: Vyshka, September
13, 1980, No. 212 (15176), p. 2, cols.
4-7
Extract: A new transformer oil leng-
thens the service life of superhigh-
voltagelpower transmission line equip-
ment by five times. A process for
manufacturing this oil has been devel-
oped by Azerbaydzhan scientists. With
respect to properties, it substantial-
ly surpasses all oils in use for sim-
ilar purposes.
Doctor of Technical Sciences R. Sh.
Kuliyev, head of an oil chemistry and
technology laboratory, told an Azerin-
form correspondent: "Heightened
demands are being made in oils that
are used for filling large-capacity
transformers. And in creative colla-
boration with our colleagues of the
All-Union Scientific Research Insti-
tute of the Oil Refining Industry
and industrial specialists of the
Baku Oil Refinery, we have succeeded,
through intensive refining, in devel-
oping an oil that meets these require-
ments."

Entire text: Space Flight Control
Center, September 19 (TASS)--As of
1:00 p.m., Moscow time, the spaceship
"Soyuz-38", which is piloted by an
international crew, had completed 10
orbits around the earth.
Cosmonauts Yuriy Romanenko and
Arnaldo Tamayo Mendez have carried
out planned operations for monitoring
the ship's onboard systems, and they
have executed the first twin-pulse
maneuver for the long-distance approach
to the orbiting complex "Salyut-6"--
"Soyuz-37".
Following the correction of the
flight trajectory, the orbit para-
meters of the "Soyuz-38" spaceship
are: maximum distance from the surface
of the earth--320 kilometers; minimum
distance from the surface of the earth
_1_P1 -, r10
On board the scientific research
complex "Salyut-6"--"Soyuz-37", Leonid
Popov and Valeriy Ryumin are preparing
for the upcoming docking with the
"Soyuz-38" spaceship.
The flight of the manned spacecraft
is proceeding in accordance with the
program.
The cosmonauts--comrades Popov,
Ryumin, Romanenko and Tamayo Mendez--
are feeling well.

is 0.2 of an angular second.
Adjustment of the gigantic astron-

year. Associates of SibIZMIR who are
taking part in this are working hard
to bring this moment closer.
