Description: 
This institute was organized in 1957 with a force of 400 workers in 
hO laboratories; today there are 2,000 workers, with a projected peak of 
about 6,000 by 1965. It supervises four other institutes with the over-all 
goal of the development of practical control systems for industry. 
The main emphasis of the Institute is on the power, iron and steel, 
chemical, metalworking, and mining industries. Its facilities are modern, 
very complete, and of excellent quality; they include extensive machine- 
shop and electronic test equipment, digital and analog computers, and 
laboratory facilities. Mock-ups of industrial processes and prototypes of 
control systems under development can be constructed. 
The Institute has branches at Lisichansk, Khar'’kov, and Zaporozh'ye.

Description: 
This institute was founded in 1958 to work out theoretical 
problems of computer construction. One of its first efforts was to develop 
plans for an automatic line for the production of capacitors. The major 
efforts of this institute are directed toward automation of mass quality 
control in industry. Many automatic instruments for various branches of 
production are designed and built by the Institute. Theoretical problems 
pertaining to the construction of computer-solution devices and cybernetic 
systems are among the activities of the Institute.
