Description: 
The TsNILELEKTROM was organized to study and develop electric- 
spark methods of metalworking. 
Two of its present staff members discovered the electrospark 
method of metal machining in 1943. In order to develop this field of 
technology, investigations have continued on the calculation and design of 
impulse generators, methods of analyzing metal surfaces after machining, 
design of electrospark machines, electrospark strengthening, and measuring 
of power in the discharge gap. The working, for example, cutting, of very 
hard alloys has received special attention. As a result of these investi- 
gations, the Laboratory has designed apparatus and machinery for use in 
electrospark treatment, and in 1954, they started the production of ap- 
paratus for hardening metal surfaces. The Section of Power Sources and
