At the construction sites of the Baikal-Amur mainline and KAMAZ, large and small Komsomol — everywhere can be used a variety of mechanical AIDS created by the innovators of the construction sites and shown recently at the Exhibition of achievements of national economy of the USSR.
Almost two centuries have passed since the invention of the Bicycle. Since then, just who, where and how it didn’t “reinvent” and not improved. The result was a diverse array of pedal cars from a suitcase mini”bike” to multi-seat tandems, velomobiles to water and even air bikes, from utility to high-speed sports, from the simple to are equipped with computers.

Our magazine wrote many times about the reader’s development of engines for different homemade cars, planes, cars, hovercraft, and even for aircraft operated with the process of technical creativity. These enthusiasts pursue basically the same goal — the creation of relatively light weight of the engines, which power would fill a gap in the row engines of industrial production and would achieve the diys satisfactory performance.
Komsomol construction project of the century called the Baikal-Amur mainline, the first group of builders which came here directly from the XVII Congress of the Komsomol. And today from all over the country to impact the construction site go to the envoys of the League, comes appliances. Go further miles of railroad tracks, and the entire path will reach 3 thousand km with extra: taiga jungle and mountain ranges, permafrost — in the most difficult conditions, requiring not only the labor heroism, but also continuous innovation, bold engineering solutions, modern technology.
Mini tractor built for a friend, a neighbor. The machine is designed for layout of the infield, clearing of snow from driveways and walkways, towing a cargo trailer. The engine and gear shift – from the car “Oka” (welded differential). Transfer case and the bridges – from the “Niva” car without alterations.
