.7ood-'.Vork.in^ EQuioment

The wood-working equipment is carrying more and more weight in Romania’s machine-tool output. The equip¬ ment is being built in several machine-building enter¬ prises, and especially at Homan which has a great specia¬ lized unit producing about 50 types and sizes of wood¬ working machines including 13-20 ne'.v kinds, annually. Until 1970 the Homan works is to doable its output, by raising labour productivity,- scientific organization of production, and investment work under way. The Rocaaian wood-working equipment is diversified in keeping with the needs of the national economy no'w being covered 90 per cent from the domestic output. The Romanian units are building equipment from the simplest one - for mechanised log-cutting - to the complex wood¬ working plant in forest enterprises, rough conversion ana timber polishing in the most modern furniture units of tliis country. Here are some novelties of this year. The existing furniture panel polishing machines have got an addition: it is simpler but with greater efficiency. Another no¬ velty is the parquetry polishing or floor finishing machine. A 13 per cent rise in the output of equipment for forestry is envisaged for this year. The Romanian products in this branch are known in many countries. Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2018 with funding from University of Alberta Libraries

Ampelograph Disc

The ampelograph disc conceived by lecturer dr. G. Baltatu of Jassy is a new device helping to easily deter¬ mine, describe, compare and systematize numerous vine strains. The handling of small levers produces on perfora¬ ted cards the classification, form, colour and other fea¬ tures of the studied vine. The device can also be used in other disciplines of agriculture, in medicine and technical sciences. '4 '
