Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In 1919 the Metal Industries of Petrograd district were grouped into seven trusts, Viz., motor-cars (eight factories), aeroplanes (eight factories), medium sized machinery (eight factories), copper industry (four metal works), heavy machine industry, mass fabrication trust (eight factories), and apparatus of precision and clock trust (thirteen factories and shops). Only in May, 1920, however, was an inventory of metal and metal wares begun. The Metal Section looks forward to the creation of a socialistic economy when improvement in the fuel situation takes place after the war.
