Description: 
NIILITMASh, established in the 1930's =s "Soyuzformlit'ye", is a 
basic organization conducting standardization and normalization in the field 
of foundry production, i.e., molding materials, foundry machines, and produc- 
tion equipment for foundries. Since 1956, standards have been developed for 
tool classification and designation in machine construction, dimensional 
accuracy of large pig-iron castings, hydraulic and sand hydraulic cleaning of 
casting, molding, sand, and core-blowing machines, and micro- and macro-relief 
of castings. 
The Institute is also responsible for the supervision of the expan- 
sion of automation of foundry equipment. In this area, they have cooperated 
with several plants in research on pattern production. The Institute's 
Central Design Bureau (TsKB) has designed various pieces of foundry equipment 
such as sand-blasting machines and semiautomatic and automatic molding ma- 
chines for the production of sheet molds and cores.
