sections, in addition to an experimental machine-tool-building plant where 
the first Soviet automatic line of machine tools was constructed. Personnel 
had increased by 30 per cent. In 1960, principal research activities 
included development of standards for machine-tool types; design of new 
hydraulic, electric, and mechanical systems for automated and mechanized 
lines; design of ultrasonic machining tools and vibrator test methods; use 
of plastics, especially caprones, in bearings; and development of Mo-Fe 
and Ti-Fe alloys with improved mechanical properties. In 1959, engineers 
of the Institute designed and built three models of programmed machine tools, 
which were awarded a Grand Prix at the Brussels Trade Fair. Two branches 
were announced in 1961: (1) at Yerevan, to develop ultrasonic, electrospark, 
and small precision machine tools; (2) at the Vil'nyus Grinding Machine 
Plant, to develop precision machine tools for the instrument-making industry. 
The Institute publishes a monthly Trudy. Degrees of Doctor and Candidate 
are awarded.

Description: 
This institute, founded in 1959, conducts geological research in the 
Far East. Its major areas of research are the metallogeny of southern 
Primor'ya, the mineralogy and geochemistry of the rare and trace elements 
for the Far East, and the lead-polymetallic deposits of Primor'ya and 
contiguous regions. Other research has been in petrography and strati- 
graphy of the Far East. The Institute has Laboratories of Spectral 
Analysis, X-Ray Analysis, Minerography, Geochemistry, Absolute Growth of 
Mountain Ranges, Determining the Temperature of Formation of Minerals, and 
Analytical Chemistry.
