PRODUCTION OF TENTH GIANT WALKING E)CAVATOR;
OTHER NEW CONSTRUCTION,''POWER EQUIPMENT FOR USSR PROJECTS
COMPLETE MACHINE AHEAD OF PLAN -- Moscow, Komsomol'skaya Pravda, 31 Mar 53
The Sverdlovsk Uralmash Plant has begun shipment of its tenth giant
walking excavator. This model, rigged with a 14-cubic-meter bucket and a
75-meter boom, is to go to a coal field. It was completed ahead of schedule.
Basically, this is the same as the ESh 14/65 walking-excavator
BUILD BULLDOZERS FROM METAL SAVED -- Moscow, Pravda, 24 Jan 53
The Chelyabinsk Plant imeni Kolyushchenko has met all orders from the
great construction protects ahead of time. The plant is starting off its
1953 program with a metal-saving campaign, pledging to build 50 bulldozers,
25 scrapers, and 5 motor graders from metal saved.
Moscow, Pravda, 14 Jun 53
The Chelyabinsk Plant imeni Kolyushchenko has reduced the weight of
its bulldozers by 800 kilograms. This has enabled the management to save
enough metal to make over 150 bulldozers.
BUILD DITCHERS -- Vil'nyus, Sovetskaya Litva, 5 Apr 53
The Minsk Udarnik Plant has established production of the KM-1400-M
universal ditcher, which can be used for both drainage and irrigation work.
During 1953, the plant will begin production of scrapers, bulldozers, and
multibucket lift trucks.

TEST MACHINE FOR IRRIGATION WORK -- Frunze, Sovetskaya Kirgiziya, 21 May 53
The Tatchina SLeningradskaya Oblasg Motor Repair Plant has completed
tests on a powerful aggregate for digging irrigation ditches.
PUMPS SERVE CANALS, GES -- Stalinabad, Kommunist Tadzhikistana, 22 Jan 53
The Sverdlovsk Urals Hydraulic Machinery Plant has turned out three large
pumps during January. Pumps built by the plant are performing well at in-
stallations on the Volga-Don and other canals, and at hydroelectric stations.
The plant will increase its production of pumps by 50 percent during
1953? It also plans to produce hydroturbines for use in cities.
SHIP PUMPS TO TSD 1ANSKAYA GEE -- Moscow, Moskovskaya Pravda, 26 Feb 53
During 1952, the Moscow Pump Plant imeni Kalinin delivered 25 pumps to
the Tsimlyanskaya GsS project to serve its related irrigation canals. Each
of these pumps can move 5,200 cubic meters of water per hour. They are not,
however, the most powerful pumps the plant builds; some with a productivity
of 7,000 cubic meters per hour have been developed.
The plant has completed and is about to ship to the great construction
projects six sluice pumps, each of 600 cubic meters hourly productivity.
During January, the plant shipped to the Kakhovskaya GEE project a
powerful dredging pump, capable of moving 6,500 cubic meters of pulp per
hour. This is similar to the pumps used in the construction of the Volga-
Don Canal.
PRODUCE DREDGES, PUMPS -- Minsk, Sovetskaya Belorussiya, 20 Mar 53
The Bobruysk Machine Building Plant imeni Stalin has established
production of suction dredges and sand pumps. The 12-R-7 dredging pump
put out by the plant is used for deepening rivers and canals and for
building up dams. The 8-LZ sand pump is being used at the great construction
projects, and at coal mining and gold mining enterprises.
BUILD UNITS FOR CONCRETE WORK -- Moscow, Trud, 7 Apr 53
The Zaporozh'ye Dneprovskiy Machinery Plant is fulfilling orders for the
Kakhovskaya GRS project. Automatic concrete plants, concrete transfer units,
vibrators, and drilling units are manufactured at the plant. Plant workers
are now assembling an electric overhead traveling crane of 30 tons lifting
capacity.
DRILLING EQUIPMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS -- Baku, Bakinsky Rabochiy,
7 Apr 53
The Gorlovka Novo-Gorlovskiy Machine Building Plant is establishing
production of new drilling equipment for the great construction projects.

Tests have just been run on a portable cementing aggregate, which mounts
the pump, mixing container, and other equipment for preparing and feeding the
cement on a single platform. The aggregate should perform well under field
conditions.
A new drilling rig now in production can drill wells one-half meter in
diameter to a depth of 500 meters.
The Leningrad Boiler and Turbine Institute gentral Scientific Research
Boiler and Turbine Institute imeni Polzunov7has developed plans for an
original boiler aggregate to be used on floating power stations. It will
provide power for walking excavators, suction dredged, and other machines
working on the construction of the Main Turkmen Canal.
The P-75 locomobile built by the Mogilev Locomobile Plant can run on
the most varied fuels, including sawdust. The machine is used widely at
peat processing areas and at timber enterprises in the far north. Recently,
the P-75 has been used on the construction of the North Crimean Canal and the
Kakhovskaya GES.
The plant has recently been casting its own flywheels and cylinders,
items which it formerly got from other enterprises. When the Syzran'
Hydroturbines Plant held up delivery of certain iron castings, the Mogilev
plant began to cast these parts, too.
The plant's pattern shop recently manufactured a large consignment of
patterns for the Lyudinovo Locomobile Plant.
The Mogilev Locomobile Plant has shipped out a group of P-75 locomobiles,
all of which were built in 25 percent less time than prescribed by norm.
During the past 2 months, the plant has undertaken a number of measures
aimed at reduc'.ng production costs. It has installed new equipment and
attachments, while additional con3tent-flow lines for machining parts have
been set up. Casting technology has been improved since the installation of
some centrifugal casting machines.
The Mogilev Locomobile Plant saved up to 300 kilograms of metal in the
building of each of a recently completed lot of P-75 locomobiles. Changes
in the design of the machines' running gear accounte,.! for 150 kilograms
of the weight reduction.
