Description: 
Formerly known as the Leningrad Branch of the Central Scientific- 
Research Institute of Communications, the organization assumed its present 
name around 1956. Work at the Institute has involved research in switching 
devices, automatic control, electrophotography, facsimile systems, and high- 
frequency studies related to ferromagnetic materials.

Description: 
NiIIVesprom, the central institute in the field of weighing and 
testing devices, has conducted theoretical and experimental investigations. 
For example, its work has concerned the analysis of errors in dial-type, 
automatically balanced indicators and methods for designing indicator elements, 
elastic imperfections in springs used for measuring forces, and analysis of 
accuracy in dynamic load measurement with high-frequency fatigue-testing 
machines. They have also developed methods for checking the indicators of 
hydraulically actuated fatigue-testing machines. Several machines and 
instruments for testing the mechanical properties of metals have also been 
developed at the Institute.
