Data: This state-owned factory is an ordnance enterprise making multiple

varieties of products. In recent years, it has been placing emphasis

on metrology work and strengthening its enterprise management and

realizing economic benefits as a result. In 1982, its economic indexes

had reached an unprecedented level. Its energy consumption per 10,000

yuan in output value for the January-November 1983 period was

19,700 tons, a drop of 8.9 percent from 1982; the output value in

terms of the total number of workers was 13,000 yuan, a 2.7-percent

increase over 1982. It has received a commendation from the State

Economic Commission for its outstanding performance. The leadership

of this plant attributed its success to the emphasis placed on

metrology work. In recent years, the enterprise has imported three

coordinate measuring units from Italy, an atomic absorption spectrophotometer from Australia, and a large-sized metalloscope from

Democtratic Germany to raise the level of its metrology work.

Data: In collaboration with the Hubei Metrological Testing Institute, this

institute has developed China's first standard compression-type high

vacuum facility, which has recently passed a state evaluation test.

Vacuum technology finds wide applications in the fields of electronic

engineering, nuclear energy, space research, and medicine, and in the

food industry. Establishing compression+.type high vacuum measuring

and metering standards constitutes an important topic of Chinese and

foreign scientists engaged in vacuum technology research. Researchers

in Shaanxi and Hubei successfully overcame a series of technical

obstacles prior to their development of this piece of equipment. In

the opinion of more than 50 experts and professors from all parts of

the country, who were present at the assessment meeting, this high

vacuum measuring facility's primary technical indexes are superior

to those of the international advanced level.

this state-owned plant has successively developed two major series

of circuits—LSTTL and STTL circuits. The power consumption of LSTTL

circuit is only one-fifth of the standard TTL, but its speed is twice

as fast. In the past 3 years, this plant has developed 109 varieties

and it is possible to develop 130 varieties in 1984. In 1983, on the

basis of Schottky technology, it trial produced STTL very high speed

circuits. As of now, it can supply 32 product varieties and 50 varieties

by the end of this year, with the parametric indices fully reaching the

level of similar products made abroad. The plant is currently developing

large-scale integrated circuit series for 2900 four bit slice type microprocessors. It has successfully developed 2901 central processing unit

which fully meets the indices of similar products made by the AMD Company

of the United States and the Chinese-made version is expected to be

ready in 1984.

[3123 1558 2477 4848 7193 0005 0617]

Location: Quanzhou, Fujian, PRC

Data: A new product, HD-317C infrared electronic automotive igniter, passed

an evaluation test here on 11 February 1984. In May 1982, this plant

imported a new automobile igniter, a new product of the eighties.

Tests showed that it was unsuitable for Chinese-made motor vehicles.

Subsequently, the Beijing Electronics Bureau under the Ministry of Space

Industry, the Controls Bureau, and this plant jointly conducted research

to improve the product to increase its reliability by employing some of

the parts manufactured in China. The new product was installed on a

trial basis on five medium models, including the Liberation brand truck

and Shanghai brand small sedan, with remarkable results. This type of

igniter operates by means of photoelectricity instead of the traditional

platinum igniter and is simple in structure and easy to install. Its

fuel economy performance is excellent, generally over 5 percent. The

Quanzhou Branch of the Bank of China will provide the capital to mass

produce the new product by this plant.

research institutes, and fraternal factories. It was presided by the

headquarters of the PLA Railway Corps. The 8V130 diesel engine was

originally designed by this plant. In 1976, Xiangfan Plant No 6618

under the PLA Railway Corps obtained the blueprints from this plant

and continued to develop the engine. In 1981 the PLA plant began

cooperating with the Tianjin Internal Combustion Engine Institute and

conducted intensive testings of the engine. Participants at the meeting

were of the opinion that the 8V130 diesel engine is rational in design,

structurally advanced, and high in fuel economy. The evaluation

committee held that the development of the 8V130 diesel engine is

successful and can be placed into limited production.
