BUILDS SURVEYri4G INSTRUMENT Kishinev, Sovetskaya Moldaviya, 21 Mar 52
X. N. Shmanenko; docent of the Kishinev Pedagogical Institute, has devel-
oped' a laboratory geodetic instrument which automatically computes the re-
sults of field measurements. The instrument replaces special surveying tables
and homographs. It calculates the length of the horizontal projection of a
line and horizontal and vertical increments of coordinates.
L. I. Charnodokiy, engineer of the Riga Etalon Plant, is participating
in the designing of a sun valve, intended for automatic operation of light
beacons on the Volga-Don Canal route,
I. M. Volokhovskiy, chief of the technological division, Riga Gidromet-
pribor Plant, has announced the production of an instrument for the automatic
control of the eater level of canals and rivers,
The Tbilisi Gidrometpribor Plant is building a large variety of instruments
for USSR GES projects. The plant is now producing 30 types of instruments,
whereas in 1949 only eight types 'f instruments were made. In the last 12-15
months the plant organized the production of 12 different instruments.
In 1951, the plant began the production of actinometric instruments, which
measure the activity of various elements of the sun's radiation. The pyrano-
meter (used for measuring the intensity of solar short-wave radiation) has a
thermoelectric battery which consists of 164 parts. The weight of the pyrano-
meter is only 0.30 gram.

In designing the instruments, the plant adopted parts that would be
interchangeable with different instruments. For example, the same thermoelectric
element is used on the pyranometer and the albedometer. Another improvement
is the simultaneous welding and stamnina of the MM-49 meteorological inatrurwnt,
the production of which was organized in 1951. This operation replaces the
steel-casting process.
The chief of the hydrometeorological service under the Council of Minister,
USSR commended the work of the Tbilisi plant in organizing the production of the
new instruments.
SPECIAL INSTRUMENT DETERMINES COLOR - Moscow, Vechernyaya Moskva, 3 Apr 52
The Central Laboratory of Control and Measuring Instruments of Glavpishche-
mash (Main Administration of Food Machine Building) has built a special elec-
trical instrument for determining colors The instrument is simple in construc-
tion and small in size and weight.,
The instrument determines the intensity of the color of the inspected arti-
cle when the transmitting element is placed on the article to be examined.
The instrument, based on the photoelectric cell, is sensitive to changes in
illumination. It measures the relative color of flour, baked bread, and fat and
also determines the color of paper, cloth, wood, or painted surfaces.
CONSTRUCT NEW ASTROPHYSICAL APPARATUS -- Berlin, Aussenhandelsnachrichten,
8 Mar 52
Several types of apparatus for astrophysical investigations have been con-
structed by Soviet scientists. One of the new apparatuses is a photoelectric
device which automatically indicates when an astral body crosses a meridian,
and which also registers the movement of a particular star in the heavens. -Other
devices determine the color of astral bodies, register the periodic variations
of variable stars, and determine the strength of the light of comets and of the
solar corona.
The designer, Boris Kosyrev, has de-.eloped an apparatus which registers
temperature variations to the millionth part of a degree. This apparatus will
be used for the investigation of the climate of Mars and for the determination
of the temperature of stars which are locate, many light-years from the earth.
PLEDGES TO BUILD INSTRUMENB. AHEAD OF SCHEDULE -- Moscow, Trud, 28 Mar 52
The Krasnodar Measuring Instrument Plant has pledged to produce ahead of
schedule electrical instruments for the Stalingrad and Kuybyshev GES projects.
