Gagarin), Smolensk region on the 9th of March, 1934. His early education was
interrupted by the war. After the war he attended a vocational school 6 and then a
technical industrial school. His interest in flying led him to the Orenburg Flying
school from which he graduated with honours as an airforce lieutenant in 1957.
After serving as a test pilot, he joined the group of cosmonauts in training for
orbital flight and it was upon him that the choice fell in 1961.
4. On April 12, 1961, Gagarin became the first man placed in orbit about
the Earth. He remained in orbit 1 hour and 48 minutes, rising as high above the
surface as 187, 66 miles and travelling at a velocity that reached 17,400 miles an
hour. So on April, 1961, mankind entered a new era - the era of mastering space
age.

NEIL ARMSTRONG
1. Neil Armstrong, an American astronaut, is the first man in history to
set foot upon the surface of the Moon. He was born in the town of Wapakoneta,
Ohio, on the 5th of August, 1930. The Armstrong branch of the family was Scots-
Irish and its origins can be traced back seven generations to the early 1800's when
a Captain John Armstrong2 settled on land in Ohio.
2. It was Neil's father who took him for his first airplane ride, when he
was six years old. By the time Neil was nine, he was building model airplanes.
He obtained pilot's licence at the age of 16. At the age of twenty he was
assigned to a West Coast jet squadron.
3. After he had graduated from the University in 1955, he joined NASA
and was one of the test pilots of the X-15 rocket plane, flying that aircraft to over
200,000 feet and approximately 4,000 miles per hour.
4. In 1962 he became an astronaut and in 1966 he was command pilot of
"Gemini 8" when he performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in
space.
5. The climax of his life, however, came in 1969, when as commander of
the "Apollo 11" spacecraft, he and Edwin Aldrin took the lunar module down to
the very surface of the Moon. Armstrong was then the first human being in history
to set foot upon the very surface of the Moon.
6. He said, "That is one small step for a man, one giant leap for
mankind." After the successful fulfilment of the program the "Apollo 11"
spacecraft returned to the Earth.
Since 1972 Neil Armstrong has been University Professor of Cincinnati.

the internal combustion engine — двигатель внутреннего сгорания

to look for — искать
exhaust fumes — выхлопные газы
to take over — сменять, приходить на смену
THE CAR OF THE FUTURE

1. In the near future most cars will use the internal combustion engine1
and burn petrol. At the present rate of production oil supplies will run out in about
fifty years, and we will have to look for2 other sources of energy. That is one of
the most important aspects of the problem and another is the damage that exhaust
fumes3 do to the environment and health of the people, especially in towns.
2. What kind of vehicle will eventually take over? At present there is a
lot of talk about electric cars, for they have the advantage of giving off no exhaust
fumes. The electric car has a long history. The first cars were built at the end of the
last century but they could not compete against the internal combustion engine.
3. They have several disadvantages. First, we have no really suitable
batteries - they tend to be too heavy, take a long time to charge, have too small
capacity and a relatively short life.
4. So scientists and engineers are looking for better storage batteries or
cells, and ways of using energy more economically and recharging batteries during
deceleration.
5. Car manufacturers are looking for other energy and fuel sources. In
Moscow there are more than a thousand lorries using liquid gas cylinders instead
of petrol tanks. Prototypes of liquid gas buses and taxies have already been made.
6. The Soviet Union, the United States, West Germany and Japan are all
working on hydrogen engines.
7. Some specialists even think that hydrogen will be the main source of
energy for internal combustion engines by the end of the century.

A UNIFIED TRANSPORT SYSTEM

1. Probably no other country has to solve such complex transport
problems as the Soviet Union which occupies one-sixth of the globe's land surface.
Its territory incorporates sun-scorched deserts and boundless tundra, high mountain
ranges and impassable swamps, taiga forests, and turbulent rivers, permafrost areas
and highly seismic zones. Some of the economic areas are separated by distances
unparalleled in any other country. Linking them up is the country's unified
transport system.
2. When we speak about the unified transport system we mean the
economically, technologically and technically balanced totality of all types of
transport - railway, sea, automobile, river, pipeline and air transport, and city and
local factory transport.
3. The balanced nature of the system implies that each type of transport
is used where it is most effective, and that all of them together fully meet the
constantly changing transport requirements4 of the people and the national
economy.
4. Our transport network is really enormous. It accounts for almost one-
tenth of the capital investments in the national economy, for approximately the
same share of our total manpower, and for one-fifth of the country's production
assets.
5. This huge scope of work made it necessary to have several ministries
responsible for transport. But they all get their guidelines from a single nation wide
plan which takes into account both the requirements of society and the technical
and economic possibilities. This is true of the country as a whole and of individual
economic areas, republics, regions, etc.

THE ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF BIG CITIES

1. The USSR can be called the country
of big cities. There are twice as many cities with over a million people than a
decade ago. The population of these more than 20 cities exceeds 36,500,000 and
equals one-seventh of the country's total population. During the next years several
more rapidly expanding cities will pass the million mark.
2. So the problem of an ecologically balanced urban environment is
becoming extremely topical. The Soviet Union is optimistic about the possibility of
providing a positive natural environment and is dealing seriously with the
emerging problems. Legislation regulating the contacts of individuals, industry and
transport with nature has been very helpful.
3. In the 1970s several laws, were passed in the USSR protecting the
water resources, forests arid the atmosphere and decrees were issued establishing
the measure of responsibility for violating these laws. A special ministry - the State
Committee of the USSR for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Control – was
established. Nature conservation3 has become an element of the state economic
and social development plans.
4. Measures to keep air and water clean are an equally important
component of the ecological programme. Keeping the air and water clean is not
enough to make all big cities in the country a good place to live. Cities have to be
built in a way that people and the natural environment can coexist in perfect
harmony and nature will not be damaged.

What' is not enough to make all big cities in the country a good place to live?
1. City transport system is not enough to make all big cities in the country a good
place to live
2.Motor transport system is not enough to make all big cities in the country a good
place to live.
3.Keeping the air and water clean is not enough to make all big cities in the

URENGOI
1. Urengoi is a gas deposit discovered 15 years ago in the northern part
of Western Siberia. It has almost triple the reserves of all known gas deposits in the
United States. Urengoi has no equal in the world. The future of the Soviet energy
industry as well as our capacity to export natural gas to the CMEA countries and
Western Europe are closely linked to this deposit.
2. Every single drill hole here yields as much gas as seven to nine drill
holes in the north of the European part of the USSR, or approximately 20 in the
Ukraine.
3. Today Urengoi produces a sixth of the country's natural gas, and will
provide almost half by the end of the current five-year period. The annual increase
in gas output will be 40 - 45,000 million cubic metres - approximately the total
production of the USSR in 1960.
4. Let us now make an estimate. Gas pipelines with a pipe diameter of
1.420 mm at a pressure of 75 atm, pump 32,000 million cubic metres annually.
Every kilometer of gas pipeline means a thousand tons of metal and an investment
of a million roubles. The Urengoi-Moscow pipeline is 2,800 km long.
5. Today, there are five trunk pipelines linking Urengoi with industrial
areas of the country. In future more will be needed. And each one conveys more
energy than is yielded by all the biggest electric stations built on Siberia's great
Yenisei River and the Angara.
6. In the language of Nentsi, the natives of that land, the name "Urengoi"
means a dead site. Natural conditions seem to justify the sad name. Until just a
short time ago, it was only the rare herd of reindeer that visited the area. Indeed,
who would be attracted by a deserted patch of the tundra where it gets colder than
minus 50°C. The riches concealed in the depths of Urengoi forced people to regard
the site quite differently.

COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH LIGHT CONDUCTORS
1. Physicists and chemists developed the technology for making fibre

glass light conductors, the semiconductor, light sources and receivers, and the
ways of injecting light into the conductors. Radio specialists developed very sound
methods of introducing information into the light beam, and of transforming light
signals into electric ones.
2. The electronic equipment used in modern cable communications lines
enables the switchover to transmit information via light conducting cables to be
done comparatively easily. For example, to turn a conventional cable TV system
into a light conducting system, all that has to be done is to replace the coaxial
copper cable with a light conducting cable and make slight adjustment in the
transmitting and receiving equipment. At the transmission end, the electrical signal
has to be transformed into a light signal and the process reversed in the receiver.
3. In outward appearance, a light conducting cable is not different from a
conventional cable with a polymer coating. But their cross sections are different.
First, there are no metal screens in the light conducting cable. They are redundant,
because light conductors are not afraid of electromagnetic interference. Inside the
cable are from two to several dozen very thin glass fibres. Each can transmit
fantastic volumes of information - dozens of TV programmes and thousands of.
Telephone conversations.
4. And the intervals between the electronic signal regenerators can be
increased up to 50-100 km instead of 1.5-5 km with copper cables. This
considerably reduces the number of signal regenerators, makes the building and
exploiting of communications lines cheaper and simpler, and cuts the mass of
cables by over 90 per cent.
5. Quartz filaments of exceptionally high transparency have been developed
in the USSR. Light can travel three kms over them without loosing even half of' its
intensity. The signals can be transmitted via these conductors to distances of up to
30 km practically without distortions.

NORTHERN SEA ROUTE

1. For many years of the Soviet Polar Region, the Northern Sea Route,
along which the bulk cargoes essential for the developing industry of the region are
conveyed, is the only transport artery.
2. In his message to those taking part in the "Arktika" atomic icebreaker's
voyage to the North Pole, Leonid Brezhnev called this route the Soviet Union's
national transport trunk-road. The "Arktika" is a twin of the equally powerful
"Sibir" icebreaker. Both ships are equipped with power plants' having a capacity of
75,000 h.p.; their displacement is equal to 23,460 tons and they have a maximum
speed of 21 knots.
3. The searches for a route to the East via the Arctic started way back in
the epoch of great geographic discoveries. From the early years of Soviet power,
the USSR began to investigate possibilities of mastering the Northern Sea Route.
4. Today the efforts have been crowned with success. In 1978, the
Western section of the route was opened with the initiation of Murmansk -
Dudinka run, which operates throughout the year. By the beginning of the year
alone, more than 80,000 tons of cargo had been conveyed to Dudinka for onward
dispatch to Norilsk.
5. Today's task is to make the Northern Sea Route navigable throughout
the year along its entire length.
6. The "Arktika" and "Sibir" icebreakers can cut through heavy ice, and
are able to manoeuvre in complicated ice conditions. Before the appearance of the
atomic icebreaker fleet in 1959, navigators only dared to penetrate to these
northern latitudes in the height of summer. The new icebreakers have made it
possible to considerably prolong the navigation period in this area.

ответ.
What have the "Arktika" and "Sibir" icebreakers made possible in Soviet Polar
region?
1. They have made it possible to carry more cargoes.

2. They have made it possible to investigate the Northern Sea Route.
3. They have made it possible to considerably prolong the navigation period in this
area.

KAMAZ AUTO PLANT - 150,000 TRUCKS A YEAR

1. February 1971. 1976 and 1981 are milestones1 in the history of the
Soviet giant track factory on the Kama River, called KAMAZ.
2. In February 1971 the area was a wasteland, and construction was just
beginning. But five years later, the first tracks rolled off the assembly line, the first
of those 200,000 manufactured during the past five-year period.
3. On the eve of the 26th CPSU Congress, the second part of the plant
went into operation: 240 heavy-duty tracks come off the new line every day.
KAMAZ has reached its planned capacity of 150,000 tracks a year. An additional
quarter of a million engines will also be manufactured annually.
4. Five years have gone by since the day the first KAMAZ track
appeared on the road. Today they can be found in the Extreme North and the sun-
scorched Central Asian Republics. During the time 20,000 KAMAZ tracks have
been exported.
5. At international exhibitions where the new Soviet track was shown,
leading experts in the automobile industry had excellent words for it. The track is
multipurpose: equally at home in agriculture, building projects, and long-distance
shipping. It is fast, light and economical.
6. Naberezhniye Chelny, where the plant is situated, has a population of
over 300,000. The average age is 27. All young generations want to do something
important. In the 1970s, it was KAMAZ.
7. The opening of the second part of the plant is an important event for
the entire country, as now the carrying capacity5 of Soviet tracks will increase by
50 per cent. Moreover, extensive use of diesel-engine tracks will save over ten
million tons of fuel a year, and the exhaust is less toxic.

ответ.
Why is the opening of the second part of KAMAZ an important event for the
entire country?
1. ... because more tracks will be manufactured.

2. ... because the carrying capacity of Soviet tracks will increase by 50 per cent
3. ... because the tracks will be faster and lighter.

CONSUMER GOODS PRODUCTION ON THE INCREASE

1. Our socialist economy's main objective is to keep on raising the Soviet
people's living standards, and the 11th Five-Year Plan (1981-1985) is an important
step on the way.
2. Inevitably, the efforts to meet the Soviet people's growing
requirements must affect production, its efficiency and product quality. When we
began building socialism the emphasis was on the heavy industry, but now
country's industrial, scientific and technological potential enables us to invest more
and more in producing consumer goods. Under the current Five-Year Plan more
than 30 thousand million roubles will be invested in the light, food and services
industries.
3. 33 per cent more consumer goods are expected to be manufactured in
five years. The food industry increases its output. Production of baby and diet
foods, quick frozen vegetables and fruit, semi-cooked products2 and food
concentrates is to grow rapidly.
4. Over the same period light industry production is supposed to go up
18-20 per cent. In 1980, 12,750 million square metres of fabrics, 810 million pairs
of leather footwear and 1,900 million pieces of knitwear were turned out. More
new products and materials will be manufactured.
5. Increased production will not affect the price of basic consumer goods.
The Soviet economy has reached a stage at which it becomes possible to fully
satisfy the ever growing demand of the people for high quality consumer goods
and to make the most efficient use of the latest equipment and technology in
production. And this is a very important condition for the further advance of the
country toward the most humane goal - the building of a communist society.

COMPUTERS
1. A computer is known to be a device that has the ability to accept, store
and process enormous quantities of data in an extremely short time. A computer
allows to get information almost immediately, the data being punched into cards or
being recorded on the magnetic tape.
2. Much has been written about the early history of computing. Mention
should be made that Charles Babbage, now widely recognized as the father of
computing, was working out the first of his mechanical calculating machines in the
early 1820s long before the first electrical telegraph message was transmitted.
3. The modern history of digital computers began in 1939 with the work
done by Howard Aiken. A number or automatic machines were constructed in the
early days of computing, the machines of this type being designed to solve
differential equations. Although they performed many useful functions their speed
of calculations was limited by the relays and other electromechanical equipment
they used.
4. The second development was the construction of the machine in 1946
which was the forerunner of the first generation of electronic digital computers.
5. Until the discovery of the germanium transistors in 1947 electronic
computers were like very large furnaces, consuming enormous quantities of
electrical power. They produced more heat than processed information. The first
computer, for example, weighed 30 tons and occupied 1,500 square feet of floor
space. Its short lived 18,000 vacuum tubes produced 150 kilowatts of heat. The
early machines using valves were employed mainly for scientific and experimental
work.
6. The next generation of electronic computers emerged in the middle of
1950s. These were "stored-programme" machines holding programming
instructions in the main memory6 of the computer. They could store and process
more information and faster.
7. Today it is possible to obtain a computer with great processing capability.
We know a computer to solve a complicated problem many millions of times faster
than a skilled mathematician. It processes thousands of calculations per second.
There are two main classes of computing equipment: analogue and digital. They
work on different principles and yield different results. The digital computers can
perform a much broader range of functions than the analogue computers. The
application includes all forms or automatic control in science and industry. The
computer has become an integral part of the organization of business of all types.
There exist various types of computers ranging from the pocket calculator through
the desk-sized computer8 to machines which still need vast halls to house them.

PLASTICS AS METAL REPLACEMENTS

1. Today plastics are referred to as materials of great importance, for no
other group of materials is able to offer such a unique combination of properties.
2. By alloying, modifying as well as by changing the structure of
polymers, chemists and technologists are able to produce different kinds of
plastics.
3. Metal replacement by plastics is often due to the economic factors
only. The use of plastics enables the manufacturers to eliminate many expensive
machining and finishing processes. Moreover plastics parts can be mass producer
at a lower cost compared with metal parts.
4. Although plastics do not possess the high strength of steel they are
suitable for many purposes. Plastics can be reinforced by incorporating fibrous
materials such as glass fiber, nylon and, at last, pure carbon fibers. The carbon
plastics are known to open up vast new possibilities in the engineering field.
Already some of the latest aircraft engines are using blades made of such plastics.
These plastics are able to withstand much higher temperatures than metals. There
exist plastics which have high mechanical strength and are able to withstand the
extremes of pressures4. It gives them a great advantage over metals.
5. Mention should be made that plastics are widely used in chemical
industry, all plastics possessing good resistance to chemicals. The great advantage
offered by plastics over iron is that they are highly resistant to corrosion and
therefore ensure a much longer life.
6. Because of their combination of mechanical and dielectrical properties
plastics found their first major industrial application in the electrical industry. A
great number of plastics used in the electronics field find applications where a
good insulation property is an essential quality, e.g. wire covering, diodes,
transistors, etc. An increasing number of electronic auxiliaries previously made of
metal is now being fabricated of plastics. These include many kinds of mechanical
components required for computers.
7. The development of rocket and space engineering made it necessary to
develop new types of plastics. A great deal .of research had been carried out before
special grades of plastics were obtained for space technology. Now they are widely
used in space vehicles because of their light weight and their ability of performing
special functions metals cannot do. Without such materials it would be impossible
to build spaceships. Generally speaking, in every branch of the industry from
power transmission to communications and from spaceships to domestic
appliances plastics are playing a vitally important role.

What property of plastics is of great importance for the construction of spaceships?
1. ... the ability to resist chemicals.

2. ... the ability to withstand high temperatures.
3. ... light weight.

in the path of the protons — на пути действия протонов

to throw off—выбрасывать
ISOTOPE PRODUCTION
1. About 1907 scientists discovered that two samples of an element
which behaved exactly alike chemically, differed in their physical structures.
Scientists called such chemically alike - but physically unlike - substances
"isotopes". Thus, isotope is the name given to a substance which - although it
differs physically from another substance - takes the same place along with the
other substances in the chemical table of elements.
2. The great majority of isotopes found in nature do not emit radiation
and are called stable isotopes. Stable isotopes occur in nature mixed with other
isotopes of the same element. The separation of isotopes from one another when
they are mixed is a necessary part of the production of both stable isotopes and
radio isotopes. The machine which does this is electromagnetic separator but the
machine is large, expensive and consumes a lot of electricity.
3. Since 1931 scientists have been designing more and more powerful
apparatus for speeding up electrically charged particles. These machines are known
to give the possibility for producing isotopes as well. Perhaps the best known of
these machines is the cyclotron. In the cyclotron the element is placed as a target in
the path of the protons leaving the cyclotron at high speed. However the cyclotron
is a very expensive machine since it consumes a lot of electricity, and requires a lot
of time to produce required quantities of the new isotopes.
4. We know most radioisotopes to be made today in nuclear reactors by
bombarding stable, nonradioactive isotopes with neutrons. After bombardment the
nuclei of stable atoms acquire additional particles and become unstable. These
unstable nuclei try to become stable again by throwing off their additional energy
in the form of radiation, thus forming the desired isotope.
5. Mention should be made3 that the production and separation of
isotopes is a very complicated and expensive process but it is carried out because
of the increasing uses of radioisotopes in industry and medicine. This increasing
use of radioisotopes is due to the development of the nuclear reactor which has
provided a relatively cheap and easy way of producing isotopes. The radiation
emitted by radioisotopes is being utilized in a variety of ways. Sometimes isotopes
do jobs conventional devices cannot do at all. Radioisotopes are widely used for
tracing complicated chemical reactions, for generating electric power for
spaceships.

How did the Soviet scientists manage to obtain a great number of isotopes?
1. ... due to their wide use in industry and medicine.

2. ... due to the use of nuclear reactors.

NATURAL RADIOACTIVITY
1. The cathode ray tubes' that were developed about 1880 resulted in the
discovery of the electron. Tubes of various design were constructed and the
behaviour of cathode rays was studied. In spite of extensive experimental work it,
was not until 1895 that Rontgen discovered that the cathode ray tube also emitted
invisible rays. These rays were capable of penetrating opaque substances and were
called X-rays because of their unknown nature.
2. In the following year Becquerel investigated several fluorescent
substances as possible sources of similar penetrating rays. Of the substances tested,
only a uranium compound affected a photographic plate which had been protected
by a wrapping of black paper. Becquerel found that all uranium compounds gave
off penetrating rays, the intensity of the rays being proportional to the amount of
"radioactivity".
3. Marie Sklodowska-Curie and her husband, Pierre Curie, investigated this
new property of radioactivity and tested all other known elements for radioactive
properties. The only other radioactive element they found was thorium. Thorium
like uranium possessed a very high atomic weight.
4. While working with a uranium-containing ore they separated the various
elements in the ore and tested each for radioactivity. From the fraction containing
the element bismuth, they isolated a new radioactive element that was named
"polonium'' in honour of Poland. The barium fraction was also radioactive, thus
suggesting the presence of another new element. This new element (discovered in
1893) possessed radioactivy two to three million times that of uranium and was
named "radium".
5. After the death of her husband in 1906 Marie Curie continued her
studies of the chemical properties of radium. In 1910 she finally succeeded in
isolating the pure element from its compounds.
6. Chemically speaking, radium acts like other elements of similar
atomic weight. The other properties of radium associated with the radioactivity,
however, are very striking. Rutherford had studied the radiations given off by
radium. Under the influence of a magnetic field the rays were deflected in such a
way that three types of radiations could be observed. Rutherford named the rays
"alpha", "beta" and "gamma" and found that they were given off from all.

SOLAR ENERGY
1. Most of the energy that we use on the Earth even in some converted
form such as coal and oil, stems from1 the Sun. Indeed, oil, coal, natural gas are
fuels that release energy received from the Sun millions of years ago. When we use
wood in a fire it is necessary to remember that the Sun supplied the energy for the
growth of trees.
2. Hydroelectric energy is known to be electricity produced from the
energy of falling water. This is actually stored solar energy, the water being lifted
from the sea in the course of the hydrological cycle which is driven by the Sun.
Hydroelectric energy has several advantages over other ways of producing
electricity. No fuel is required, since the energy comes from the Sun.
3. The Sun is also important to us as a laboratory in which we can study hot
gases in a magnetic field. The knowledge we are gathering from the studies of the
solar gas enables us to control fusion processes here on the Earth. If we could build
magnetic "bottles" to contain hydrogen undergoing fusion at temperatures of
millions of degrees and would use the hydrogen in the ocean we should obtain
unexhausted sources of energy for millions of years.
4. It is clear today that the supply of coal, oil and natural gas will soon
become inadequate for our needs. It is natural that scientists began their search for
new sources of energy. There is an increasing interest in obtaining energy from the
Sun.
5. There are devices that give off an electrical signal when struck by
sunlight. The device employed for converting solar energy into useful power is the
solar cell. In the solar cell the junction consists of two different kinds of
semiconductors. The cell is energized not by heat but by light. But solar cells are
still expensive to use for general commercial purposes. They proved to be an ideal
source of power for artifical satellites.
6. There is now considerable research centering on finding ways of
converting solar radiation into heat and electricity. Man has learned to obtain
electric power directly from the Sun at present. Architects have built houses to be
heated by solar radiation due to applying suitably designed roofs and using suitable
construction materials, the latter tend to retain heat obtained from the Sun. Under
suitable conditions solar radiation can raise the temperature of the air to 300°F.

How does man obtain power for heating houses?
1. ... by raising temperature.

2. ... by using special materials for roofs.
3. ... by retaining heat.

ASBESTOS
1. Asbestos has been known and used as a textile since the earliest times.
The first written evidence of asbestos was recorded by Pliny in the first century
A.D.
2. It is told that one of the Emperors of Rome delighted guests by
throwing a tablecloth made of asbestos into fire and then removing it unchanged
from the flame. A few centuries later Marco Polo told his friends in Italy about a
substance he observed in Siberia. He told that it could be woven into attractive
textiles which did not burn even in direct flame.
3. Asbestos is one of the strangest of all the naturally occurring fibres. It
is a rock which has been subjected to unusual treatment during its formation.
Asbestos is the only mineral substance used as a textile fibre in the form it is
obtained from natural sources. There are many varieties of asbestos rocks but only
chrysolite is widely used for textile products. Chrysolite is mined in many
countries of the world. The soft, long, white fibres of this mineral can be spun into
yarn by the usual processes. Pure asbestos being very difficult to spin, a proportion
of cotton fibre is usually added to help to bind the asbestos fibres together. The
strangest characteristic of asbestos fibres is their resistance to heat and burning.
This property determined the ways in which they are used.
4. Early uses for asbestos included such articles as handkerchiefs and
table coverings. We know commercial development of the fibre to have started in
the 19th century. Asbestos was used in flame-proof clothing of many kinds, for
laboratory, industrial and military purposes.
5. Fabrics made of asbestos have good strength. Today the main
applications are those in which non-inflammability is essential such as conveyor
belting for hot materials, industrial packings, fireproof clothing, etc. Asbestos is
sometimes used with glass fibre in making decorative fabrics for curtains for
hospitals, theatres and other buildings where the public assembles. Some grades of
asbestos are used for electrical windings and insulation.

NATURAL RESOURCES AND INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY

1. The history of man is largely the. history of man's straggle for natural
resources. The rapid increase in the world's population, with its enormous demands
for food, energy and manufactured products, makes the chemical industry a very
important factor in our civilization.
2. At present a high standard of living makes great demands on our
mineral resources. The natural sources of many materials being quickly exhausted,
new chemical products have to be developed. The increasing demands for food,
energy and manufactured goods can be met by using chemistry in different
branches of our national economy.
3. The chemical industry is directed to the conversion of natural raw
materials of the earth, sea and air into products which are of vital importance for
the life of the people of the whole world. The chemical industry is known to deal
with every kind of raw material. In combining, rearranging the molecules chemists
could create substances with definite characteristics. Now great efforts are being
made to increase the assortment and quality of chemical products and to create new
substances.
4. The chemical industry ranges so widely that it is difficult to define its
scope. Chemistry is known to be concerned with all forms of matter from metals to
paper. It reaches into almost every sphere of science and technology.
5. A simple chemical product, sulfuric acid, for example, is absolutely
essential for the production of concrete, steel, some metals, textiles, paper, many

WHAT IS A MACHINE-TOOL?
1. A machine-tool is a power-driven machine used to shape metal by
cutting, drilling, pressure, electrical techniques, or a combination of these
processes.
Thus, it is clear that machine-tools can be built in a wide variety of types.
Basically, however, there are two main categories, the first being the cutting-type
machine-tool, which shapes metal to certain size and contour.
2. For the various operations that are to be performed in the
metalworking shop, there are many different kinds of machines. Each machine-tool
is being designed to do work of a specific nature.
There are special machine-tools that are built to perform successive
operations. The operator only watches the succession of machining steps from the
beginning to the end of the operation. Such equipment is considered to be
automatic machinery.
3. Precision of operation is the most important characteristic of today's
machine- tools. The precision makes it possible to produce hundreds of identical
parts, all so much alike that they may be freely interchanged or substituted in
assembly or repair, without hand-fitting.
The function of a machine-tool is to hold both the work and a cutting-tool
and move them relative to each other to obtain the proper cutting action.
4. Machine-tools are known to serve four main purposes: 1) they hold
the work or part to be cut; 2) they hold the cutting tool (or tools); 3) they impart to
the cutting tool or work the motion required for cutting or forming the part; 4) they
regulate the cutting speed and the movement between the tool and work.
5. The most common machine-tools are lathes, which perform cutting
operations mostly, milling machines, drilling machines and grinders.

ELECTRIC MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

1. Studying electric circuits requires an accurate quantitative
measurement of potential or voltage, and current strength or amperage. As the
electricity is forced to move along a conductor, it produces various effects such as:
it sets up a magnetic field around its conductors; it produces heat; and it causes
chemical changes. The magnitude of any of these effects is known to be used as a
quantitative measure of the amount of current.
2. When the current to be detected and measured is very small, one
should use a galvanometer. Nowadays there are some very sensitive galvanometers
which are reported to detect a current as small as 10 of an ampere per 1 mm of the
scale.
3. The basic measuring instrument which indicates any value of current
strength is the ammeter. In an ammeter an armature coil rotates between the poles
of a permanent magnet; the coil restrained by a spring is able to turn but through a
small angle. The greater the Current in the coil, the greater the force and, therefore,
the greater the angle of rotation of the armature. The deflection is measured by
means of a pointer attached to the armature, the scale under the pointer reading
directly in amperes.
4. A voltmeter is designed in order to measure the potential difference
between two points in a current. Its action is similar to that of an ammeter, both of
them having armatures that move when an electric current is sent through their
coils.
5. However, in spite of some similarity between a voltmeter and ammeter
there are also important differences. A voltmeter must have very high resistance,
an ammeter, on the other hand, must have a low resistance. In actual use the
ammeter is placed in series with the rest of the circuit, while the voltmeter is
placed in parallel with that part of the circuit where the voltage is to be measured.

CRYOGENICS AND THE CRYOTRON

1. The invention of electronic devices whose activity is based upon the
flow of free electrons in a vacuum has considerably enlarged the application of
electrical energy for various industrial purposes. Use is made of radio electronics at
every step. Without radio electronics we would not have cybernetics, cosmonautics
and nuclear physics.
2. We know the cryotron to be developed in 1953. In this devise the
superconductor is a piece of tantalum wire 1 in long and 0.009 in. in diameter. It is
kept at a temperature of 4.2°K, which is the boiling point of liquid helium at
atmospheric pressure.
3. Around this wire is a coil. This coil functions as a control winding. A
change in the flow of current through the winding changes the strength of magnetic
field. This controls the resistance of the tantalum wire, causing the wire to shift
back and forth between its superconducting and normally conducting states.
Thus, the current through the coil exceeding 100 ma, the magnetic field
changes the resistance of the tantalum wire from zero ohms to 0.008 ohms. This
behaviour enables the cryotron to function either as an amplifier or as a switch.
Newer types of cryotron are known to employ printed circuits in place of wires.
4. The cryotron is so small that a hundred of them will fit into an
ordinary thimble. It is planned at present to employ this device in computer circuits
