A recent Soviet newspaper article revealed that an Experimental

The article, criticizing the fact that theof the main building has not yet begun, lists the Institute's functions as the following:

1. working out theoretical questions concerning press and forging machines and the pressure processing of metal;

developing the theoretical bases for the planning of highly productive automatic presses and automatic lines; and

creating new technological processes.

In the past, the only theoretical research on forming and forging processes has been conducted by TsNIITMASh, the Central Scientific Research Institute of Technology and Machine Building of the Ministry of Heavy Machine Building. 1/

Unlike the machine tool industry, the Russian metalforming machinery industry is not comparable to tho US counterpart in total production or machine design. V. A. Malyshev, Chairman of Gostekhnika, has called the pressing and forging shops ln Russiannnouncing that the re-equipment of machine building plants must begin in that area. 3/ The establishment of ENIIKMASh is apparently designeda current drive to Increase and diversify USSR production of metal-forming machinery. he USSR plans to0 metalforming machines, anercent increase over5/ Four new metalforming equipment plants are under construction Tn westernAzov, Dnepropetrovsk, Voronezh, and Ryazan. 5/ In addition six new plants will be built in Siberia and the Urals during the Sixth Five-Year Plan period. 6/
