Institute. Their work has included studies of oil processing, highly anti- 
corrosive stainless steels, various systems of heat treatment, hydraulic 
semiautomatic machines, automation of AC electric drives with automatic 
feeds, and finally, chemical production. 
A metalworking and metallography laboratory was established at the 
Institute in 1961. This laboratory has a remote-control universal micro- 
scope, using radioactive isotopes, for research on metals. A rare-metals 
laboratory was in the planning stage also in 1961. 
A branch of the Institute was opened in Sumgait in 1958. 
The Institute publishes the Trudy Azerbaydzhanskogo Politekhni- 
cheskogo Instituta. Candidate's Degrees are granted.
