One of the oldest enterprises in St. Petersburg, which played a major role in the development of Russian industry, can rightfully be attributed to Sestroretsk Instrumental Plant JSC. Its history goes back centuries. 275 years ago, on June 14, 1721, according to the Decree of Peter I, on the banks of the Sestra River, “the construction of weapons manufactories” began, as the source writes. What caused it? Let's turn to the documents.

Even before the Battle of Poltava, Russia hastily began the development of the conquered sea spaces. In 1706, not far from the mouth of the Sestra River, large-scale work began on the construction of the harbor. The protracted Northern War with Sweden and the increasingly clear threat of attack from England required new efforts in the production of military equipment, and the arms factories built in various parts of Russia did not provide it in sufficient quantities. In addition, the transportation of ammunition and weapons manufactured at the factories of Tula and the Urals took a lot of time and could not meet the needs of the army on time.

That is why even then the need for the urgent construction of an arms factory somewhere near the new northern capital was ripe.

In 1714, during a trip to the island of Kotlin, Peter drew attention to the picturesque places along the banks of the Sestra. However, not only the beauty of these places attracted Peter. The mighty forests along the banks, untouched by human hand, were the richest building and fuel material, and, most importantly, by building a dam on the Sister, it was possible to use its energy. The abundance of water, boundless forests, the proximity of the sea, the capital and Kronstadt, apparently fully satisfied Peter's desire not to postpone the construction of an arms factory any longer. “Here,” as one of the documents says, “on a sharp turn of the Sestra River, forming a kind of peninsula, he laid the main dam in 1716 and planned the buildings of the future plant, which he called Sisterbeksky”

From January 1, 1721 began preparatory work on the construction of the first structures of the arms factory. In July of the same year, a major specialist in "engineering art" Colonel V. Gennin was appointed chief builder. From the distant northern outskirts, one after another, heavily laden ships arrived in Sisterbeck harbor with people, building materials and food. Around the clock in the forest thicket, on the banks of the river and the bay, the sound of axes was heard, and daily auctions were held on St.

In 1723, Colonel Matvey Vyrubov, an intelligent and knowledgeable man, took over the construction of the weapons and gunpowder factories. Under him, work was completed on the construction of a dam, which blocked the channels of two rivers - the Sestra and the Chernaya. The water, swollen under strong pressure, rose high above the Gulf of Finland and flooded a space of 20 versts around the circumference. An artificial lake Razliv was formed.

At the same time, in the lowland located behind the dam, the construction of twenty mostly wooden “arms factories” was being completed - two anchor workshops, a blast furnace, a steel workshop for “dressing blades and baguettes”, a scalder, where nails were made for the Admiralty, a wire, cannon, lamp, compass, boiler room , saw, stem, custard, grinding, finishing, locking and others. By that time, these were first-class equipped workshops, on which great hopes were pinned. Already on November 20, 1723, in a letter to Gennin to the Siberian factories, Peter I wrote: “... so that the Uktu, Alapaevsk factories fix and make good iron on them and start pouring cannons and mortars by decree, it’s good, but what did you start making fuzei and swords, then upon receipt of what they were told to leave and henceforth there is no need to make guns there, and the iron needed for gunsmithing is here at the Sisterbek factories, which are already completely done.

The opening of the Sestroretsk plant took place on January 27, 1724. All the inhabitants of the village gathered at the factory gates. Peter I received from Vyrubov a report on the completion of construction, and then opened the gates and let the first 47 artisans into the factory yard. After that, the king went into the forge, fanned the fur, forged a bar of iron and said with satisfaction:

The plant, I think, is ready for work. Let's make weapons.

Whether this was true or not is hard to say. Another thing is that such a fact descends on the soul. Let it be so.

At first, the plant produced gunpowder and small-caliber guns from its own metal. According to the testimony of those years, the Sestroretsk ore was very solid. The site of the first developments was Rusty Kanava, where two blast furnaces operated, producing up to 12,000 poods of metal per year. Then more powerful, Chernorechesko-Dibunsky smelters were built, which for half a century provided gunsmiths with metal.

However, despite the high quality of local ore, the factories still did not fully meet the needs of gunsmiths. In addition, development in the Dibun swamps was very expensive. Delivery of metal from outside was cheaper for the state. And the factories were closed, which could not but affect the fate of the arms factory itself. Its history is generally characterized by such facts: sometimes a peak, sometimes a recession, and yet the plant was needed by the state and it was never consigned to oblivion. Figuratively speaking, the brainchild of Peter was unsinkable in the most critical years for him. And this is natural. In peacetime, a minimum of weapons was required, and with the advent of hard times, its vertical grew.

The history of the plant is associated with the evolution of the production of several generations of firearms: flintlock, primer, rifled and automatic. In different years, the factory produced muskets and fuzei, pistols and rifles, berdanik and carbines, different kinds cold weapons.

If you open the door of the factory museum, you will not only touch the bygone time, but also see weapons that could raise the banner of victory over the Reichstag. In general, the Sestroretsk instrumental is a unique enterprise, its richest history and significance for Russia - it can compete with any masters of Russian industry. But back to his story. In the very first years of operation, the plant provided the Russian army with first-class weapons for those times. The fame of the Sestroretsk gunsmiths spread far beyond the borders of the country. But in their homeland they bore the faceless name "fit people." They were paid many times less than foreigners. And there were foreigners at the enterprise. They were discharged from Prussia, Sweden, Poland, “so that by the end of the contract period they would fully teach their craft to a select number of Sestroretsk gunsmiths, for which, in excess of the established price, the government undertook to reward them with special sums.” But it did not take many years for the Russian muzhik to far outstrip foreigners in weaponry.

There were several weapons workshops at the plant. In addition to them, the anchor room, where large and small anchors were made, shafts for sawmills; spicy, which gave nails different sizes; sawmill, where logs were sawn into boards for wheels and bellows. In modern terms, the plant was not originally a single-profile plant.

Already by the time of Empress Elizabeth, he became one of the largest enterprises of the Russian state. Nevertheless, the plant was repeatedly on the verge of closing due to the short-sighted policy of the followers of Peter I

In the early 1800s, he embarked on the path of turning a manufactory into a factory, followed by the improvement of factory equipment, the restructuring of hydraulic structures. The expansion of the plant, the installation of new machinery, an increase in the number of workers led to the fact that one plant commander could no longer cope with a large range of duties. As a result, a board is created from the commander of the plant, two of his deputies and a secretary.

Progress in gunsmithing required a further increase in the skill of gunsmiths.

In 1849, as the source writes, “to introduce possible uniformity in the manufacture of handguns, an exemplary workshop was established at the plant. It was supposed to produce samples of guns and, most importantly, samples of patterns - tools for testing them. Creation of samples of tumbler tools is an important moment in the history of the enterprise. This meant the birth of instrumental production. Conclusion: the year of birth of the Sestroretsk tool factory (not weapons) is 1849.

The middle of the 19th century was significant in the history of weaponry not only for Russia, but also for countries Western Europe. Prior to that, the armies were armed with smooth-bore, muzzle-loading guns. In Western countries, they are being replaced by the percussion gun. The Crimean War put the Russian government in front of the need to urgently re-equip the army with rifled weapons. A model of rifled weapons was approved for all rifle units - a six-line rifle, which was called a rifle. In 1849, at the factory that immediately responded to the innovation, more than three thousand rifles were manufactured. Their output has increased.

By the end of the 70s, the rearmament of the army with rifled weapons was over. Terry-Norman breech-loading capsule rifles were adopted, but this was only a transitional step towards further improvement of small arms. The production of Kryk's breech-loading rifles begins, but Berdan's rifle immediately follows. It was Berdan that demanded another reconstruction of the enterprise. Jonval water turbines were installed, new buildings were erected, the machine park was enlarged. By the mid-70s, the plant became capitalist: machine technology replaced manual labor, all work was done by civilian workers.

Finally, the year 1891. The army adopted the Mosin rifle. Without exaggeration, its production can be called the "peak of glory" of the Sestroretsk gunsmiths

On April 17, the Sestroretsk gunsmiths met V. Lenin in Beloostrov after his return from exile, and in July, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Party, the factory worker N.A. Yemelyanov and his entire family reliably hid the leader from arrest by the tsarist government. For this disinterestedness, Yemelyanov was repressed by Stalin and awarded the Order of Lenin by his followers. The socialist revolution was also made to some extent by the weapons of the Sestroretsk plant. According to the source, on October 24, 1917, 1,200 Sestroretsk workers arrived in Petrograd with the task of guarding the Smolny. When the hour of the uprising came, they seized several printing houses, disarmed part of the junkers, and occupied the water supply and electric stations.

It’s a paradox, but in 1917, by decision of the Council of People’s Commissars, the plant switched to the production of purely peaceful products - railway meters, twist drills, etc. The Civil War forced it to return to its main purpose again - the manufacture and repair of rifles.

Finally, in November 1922, the plant completely switched over to the production of tools. In the same year he was named after S.P. Voskov.

Since the first days of the Patriotic War, the plant has been producing weapons and ammunition. On its basis, enterprises are being created - in Leningrad and Novosibirsk (Novosibirsk is still operating). Everyone who could not only issue, but also hold weapons in their hands, left to defend the fatherland.

In the post-war period, the Sestroretsk instrumental was one of the leading, if not the best, enterprises in its industry. For merits in the development of the domestic tool industry and in connection with the 250th anniversary of its foundation, the enterprise was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.

The list of the range of its products in the 70-80s cannot but force itself to be respected: dozens of varieties of drills, countersinks, reamers, taps, dies, combs, milling cutters, metalwork, planer tools, etc. It should be taken into account that these products were used constant demand not only in the republics of the former Soviet Union, but also in many many foreign countries, including the USA, Sestroretsk toolmakers were represented in agency firms in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Venezuela, Greece, Spain, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Norway, Peru, USA, Syria, Thailand, Finland, France, Germany, Sweden, Japan, other countries.

But in 1991, in connection with the privatization at the national level, which the Sestroretsk plant was the first among the industrial enterprises of St. Petersburg, forming the Sestroretsk Instrumental Plant OJSC, its affairs, for reasons beyond its control, did not develop in the best way. The collapse of the Union severed the established economic ties both with enterprises - consumers of factory products, and with suppliers of metal, raw materials, and components. But the main thing is the decline in production by industrial enterprises Russia left unclaimed a large part of the once used in great demand tool.

Flaw working capital, outflow of qualified personnel, lack of investment and own funds for the organization of production new products, unpredictability of demand for products - all these negative phenomena required new non-standard solutions from the joint-stock company, and they were found.

Here's what it says CEO of today's open joint stock company "Sestroretsk Instrumental Plant" N.F. Geiger: In order to increase the efficiency of production, the Executive Directorate and the Supervisory Board of our joint stock company reorganized the JSC with the creation of a structure like a holding company. On the basis of production workshops and engineering departments, we have created partnerships with limited liability, which for reference economic activity fixed assets were leased, as well as in the form of a commodity loan - warehouse balances marketable products, materials and work in progress.

Partnerships received the status legal entity and the possibility of independent economic activity under the lease agreement. Partnerships, essentially subsidiaries, are obliged to conduct their activities in the interests of the joint-stock company, maintaining a single manufacturing process, at the same time they are given the opportunity to entrepreneurial activity, including the fulfillment of orders and services to third parties, the sale of industrial products, trade and barter transactions. The energy backbone, central accounting and basic services (economic, quality management, labor protection, environment etc.), necessary for the implementation of a unified economic and technical policy, as well as all objects of social and cultural life. Relationships between partnerships are carried out on a contractual basis. To coordinate the work of subsidiaries within the framework of the joint-stock company, the Board of Directors was established as an advisory management body.

The accumulated experience confirmed the correctness of these decisions. The full economic independence of the divisions made it possible to identify both promising production facilities that can not only recoup their costs, but also make a profit, as well as unprofitable production facilities that require support and re-profiling.

In most divisions, production efficiency has increased, work has intensified on selling products and attracting new customers.

To increase competitiveness and prevent the decline in product quality, the functions of product quality management are carried out by a centralized service. The testing center AOOT is accredited by the State Standard of Russia as a competent testing laboratory with the right to conduct certification tests of cutting tools.

Conducted organizational arrangements created at the plant the prerequisites not only for survival in the conditions of the economic crisis, but also for the creation of conditions for stable operation, if many external causes are not a barrier.

On this optimistic statement of Nikolai Fedorovich Geiger, I would like to end this article.

Sestroretsky Armory founded by decree of Peter I to provide the Russian army with cold steel and firearms. In 1719, Peter I ordered the construction of a harbor at the mouth of the Sestra River to provide cheap communication with Sestroretsk. In the same year, forests were assigned to the arms factory, in a circle of about 200 miles (from St. Petersburg to Vyborg) with all the lands, villages and peasants. The following year, the “dam master Venedikt Beer” was called from the Olonets factories with his son to build a dam on the Sestra River, install water engines and make anchors and guns. The actual construction of the plant began in June 1721 under the guidance of engineer de Gennin.

In 1723, machines and technical devices were delivered to Sestroretsk by sea in large boats from the Petrovsky Olonetsky factories, the Ladoga anchor forge, the Belozersky factory in Moscow, along with 546 workers with their families. Experienced gunsmiths arrived from Prussia and Poland.

By 1724, several weapons workshops were built, a barrel-brewing, barrel-grinding, barrel-finishing, machine-finishing, anchor, skewer, saw mill. A total of 28 workshops were built. The construction of dams, water-acting wheels, flutbets has been completed and the Zavodskoy Razliv reservoir has been filled. The mechanisms used were mostly wooden, driven by 28 water-acting wheels.

Gennin's layout was so rational that it remained in its main features, despite the restructuring of individual buildings, for two hundred years. In terms of the plant, a compositional concept was clearly traced, built on two mutually perpendicular axes, fixed by the Bolshaya Foundry and the Peter's Palace in one direction, the Chancellery and the Guardhouse - in the other. The buildings were interlocked along the perimeter so that they formed a solid fence. production site with the building of the Chancellery at the head and guard towers in the corners. The settlement of the plant was not originally included in its composition, but its development developed in such a way that the plant gradually became its compositional center.

On January 14, the plant enters the Artillery Department, and on January 27, 1724, Peter I personally receives a report on the opening of the plant. On February 11 of the same year, the plant was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Admiralty.

In 1727, the plant ceased the production of weapons and became a tool factory, however, the production of weapons was repeatedly returned in connection with the hostilities conducted by Russia. At the same time, the cost of weapons production at the Sestroretsk plant was the highest in Russia due to the range of supplies of raw materials. On June 12, 1732, the plant was transferred to the administration of the Office of Artillery and Fortification.

In 1736 - 1741. a large-scale reconstruction of the plant was carried out, workshops were rebuilt, 36 furnaces were supplied in the forge, 20 machine tools in the barrel workshop, saw mills were rebuilt, weapons and sword workshops were restored. Since 1937, the plant began to produce copper parts for the uniforms of the troops. On October 14, 1744, an order was received to transfer the plant to the jurisdiction of the Artillery, since 1946 it has been re-profiled only for the repair of weapons.

In 1749, the Holstein Globe was restored at the plant for the Academy of Sciences. In 1750, by order of Elizabeth Petrovna, a silver shrine was made at the plant to house the relics of Alexander Nevsky, which were in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. Now the cancer is stored in the Hermitage. In 1752, the plant, fulfilling the order of the Academy of Sciences, manufactures a "daddy's car" for chemical laboratory M. V. Lomonosov. In 1753, the scientist personally visited the factory when it was received. Under Elizaveta Petrovna, a mint was organized at the plant, where from unusable gun barrels in 1756-1766. minted two million rubles. Currently, the Sestroretsk ruble is a great numismatic rarity.

In 1766-1777. Catherine II transferred the surrounding lands to her favorites Orlov and Potemkin, as a result of which the plant lost its bases of raw materials and cheap labor resources. On June 25, 1780, a fire broke out at the plant, four factory workshops burned down.

In 1795, 19 workshops, shops, a two-story barn 148 fathoms long with three towers, a church, a two-story house for temporary residence of officers were built of brick. In 1804, under the guidance of engineer De Volan, a new stone two-span dam was built.

In 1796, the plant received an order for the manufacture of 2400 guns for the Preobrazhensky regiment, a year later an order for the Pavlovsky and Grenadier regiments followed. In 1798, the production of standard weapons with interchangeable parts was mastered.

In 1810, for the first time, stamping machines were created at the plant. Lathes, drilling, polishing, cutting, fastening and other machines were updated according to the projects of Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Lankri, who was appointed head of the plant in 1808. Since 1812, the plant began to receive steel and cast iron from its plant in Raivola (now Roschino). In 1812, 12527 guns and 1200 pairs of pistols were produced, 1492 people worked at the plant. In 1821, an order was received to keep 200 recruits at the plant for weapons training. For the reason that. As the number of machine tools increased in 1823, the post of mechanic was introduced. In 1826, the plant's equipment was recognized as exemplary and recommended for the Tula and Izhevsk plants. In 1844, the plant began producing capsular infantry weapons. By 1846, all the ranks of the plant consisted of 2600 people, of which 972 were gunsmiths, apprentices and hammerers. The plant could produce 10-12 thousand guns.

In 1849, an exemplary workshop was established to control the production of standard uniform weapons and the storage of reference measuring instruments; in 1854, the first 1111 pieces of rifled guns were produced. In 1854, machines from America were brought to the plant and the machine method for the production of rifles was mastered.

From 1830 to 1863 reconstruction of culverts (dams) of the plant on the Sestroretsky Razliv, the Sestra River and the Rzhavaya Ditch was carried out. The work was supervised by the hydraulic engineer of the plant Gausman.

At the world exhibition of products of agriculture, industry and art, held in Paris in 1867, the plant received several medals for the exhibited weapons and a bronze medal as one of the best arms factories in Europe.

Since 1869, the plant has been producing Terry-Norman, Czech Krink and Berdan breech-loading rifles. In 1884, the plant became state-owned, by that time the production of rifles had reached 100,000 pieces a year.

In 1889, a water intake and water treatment station was built on Lake Sestroretsky Razliv, in 1890 the plant got its own hydroelectric power station.

In 1891, S. I. Mosin’s “three-line rifle of the 1891 model of the year” was put into service. Sergei Ivanovich Mosin was the head of the plant from 1894 to 1902. The first Russian three-line rifle in 1900 on world exhibition in Paris, received worldwide recognition, and the company was again awarded the highest award - a bronze medal and a Grand Prix diploma. September 18, 2001 on the street. Voskov, a monument-bust to S. I. Mosin by sculptor B. A. Petrov was erected.

In 1896, the plant was awarded a gold medal at an exhibition in Nizhny Novgorod.

By the beginning of the twentieth century. 875 machine tools and 1725 people worked at the plant. The plant was fully electrified. In 1900, a three-year vocational school began to operate.

Since 1911, automatic weapons systems have been developed by Fedorov, Tokarev, and Roschepey. Since 1913, Degtyarev has been developing automatic weapons.

In 1915, the plant produced 9500 rifles per month. The building of the lock workshop was built, the store building was converted into a workshop, the second floor was built in the house of the lodge and store workshops, the factory branch was continued railway and a branch from Beloostrov to the plant.

In February 1917, the revolutionary commissariat became the head of the plant. Under the leadership of the Bolsheviks (chairmen of the plant committee S. P. Voskov and F. P. Gryadinsky), Red Guard detachments were created.

After the revolution in 1918, the factory installed work management, the position of plant manager was abolished. The plant began production of railway cars and only in October received orders for the production of weapons. In 1919, orders began to come in for the production of rifles, carbines, camp kitchens, bowlers, buckets, mugs, teapots, plates, drummers for machine guns and other orders for the Red Army. In 1920, along with existing orders, the plant began production of metal-cutting and measuring tools, and the production of shuttles for sewing machines was also launched.

Since 1922, the plant has completely switched to the production of cutting and measuring tools, and the production of metalwork and assembly equipment has been established.

On November 19, 1922, the Main Directorate of the Military Industry adopted a resolution that determined the future fate of the plant: “Stop the production of guns and transfer the equipment to other plants. To develop in a 4-month period to the maximum the production of drills, taps, dies, reamers and measuring tools, loading the plant to the maximum possible, and also to develop in a 6-month period the production of shuttles for sewing machines up to 1000 pieces ....". From November 1922 - Sestroretsk tool factory.

On March 7, 1923, at the request of the staff, the Sestroretsk plant was named after S.P. Voskov, the first chairman of the plant's trade union committee. At the All-Russian Agricultural Exhibition, the plant's products were awarded a diploma of the first degree for excellent quality.

On April 24, 1923, the management system of the plant changed: instead of collegial management, one-man command was introduced.

In 1930, the plant was transferred under the jurisdiction of the All-Union Instrumental Trust. During this period, only the instrument is produced. A procurement shop was created, a galvanizing shop for chrome plating of parts was built. In 1931, a workshop for patterns and calibers was created, and the production of micrometers and calipers was being established. In 1934, the plant began producing specialized lathes for the production of high-precision tools. In 1935, the plant was transferred to the People's Commissariat for Machine Tool Building. In the same year, a machine tool shop was established. In 1937 - 1939 the plant begins to produce a machine for integrating differential equations. Such machines were then only in England and the USA. In 1939, the machine, manufactured by the experimental workshop, was installed at the Power Engineering Institute of the Academy of Sciences, releasing 40 qualified accountants.

With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War the plant was evacuated to Novosibirsk, the remaining equipment was taken to Leningrad, and the production of the Degtyarev submachine gun from the remaining materials was launched on the spot.

In 1946, only one section for the production of small drills operated at the plant, and in 1947, a workshop for non-standard tools was put into operation. In 1948, the foundry shop and the shops for drills and dies were reconstructed. In 1949, the plant began to produce carbide tools for the first time.

In 1953, a workshop for the production of consumer goods was created: the plant began to produce planers, shearers, sawmills, and hacksaws. In 1962, machines for the diamond industry were created. At this time, 28 standard sizes of new cutting tools are being produced, the plant's products are supplied to 60 countries of the world. In 1965, a new thermal shop was put into operation, a new procurement shop, warehouses were built, a boiler house was expanded, which provided heat for both the plant and the city. In 1969-1972 the reconstruction of the plant was carried out, the repair, electric power, heat-ventilation, transport, woodworking buildings were reconstructed, engineering networks were repaired. In the 1970s the plant switches to the operation of machine tools with a numerical program management(CNC).

In connection with the 250th anniversary of its founding on June 18, 1971, the plant was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.

In 1975, a memorial of military glory was opened on the territory of the plant. Memorial plaques appeared on the buildings of the workshops in memory of the Red Guards V.I. Zof, N.A. Kubyak, S.P. Voskov, the worker N.A. Emelyanov, who sheltered Lenin and G.E. F. Chistyakov and Hero of the Soviet Union L. N. Borisov (former factory workers). The People's Museum of the history of the plant worked, a large-circulation newspaper "Sestroretsky Toolmaker" was published

In 1991, the joint-stock company "Sestroretsk Tool Plant" (JSC "SIZ") was registered, in 1999 the plant was reorganized into a holding company, consisting of several joint-stock companies on the basis of workshops that produced demanded products. As of January 1, 2001, 9 subsidiaries were operating within OAO Sestroretsk Tool Plant.

Since 2001, the holding has been enlarged, its activities are carried out in three areas: the manufacture of special tools; production of consumer goods, attachment tools, block matrices for the synthesis of artificial diamonds, etc.; release of a mass standardized tool. The latter direction makes up 80% of the total production of the plant (Center-Instrument LLC). The plant is the only one in Russia where tools for the electronics industry are produced.

In 2003, Steven Wayne, the owner of one of the shareholder companies of a subsidiary of the American investment company Jensen Group, became the CEO. He replaced Nikolai Geiger, who holds the position executive director and actually manages the plant. Since 2007, CJSC SIZ Prom has been the only manufacturer of tools under the Sestroretsk Tool Plant brand, which is in the process of relocating equipment from historical buildings to an area of ​​14 hectares in the Konnaya Lakhta industrial zone.

According to the Kommersant newspaper dated January 16, 2007, the $180 million project is being implemented by Sestra River Developments LLC, an enterprise created by the owners of the plant and bought by Jensen Group I Limited Partners investment fund. Experts believe that the project may turn out to be successful even despite the large amount of encumbrances imposed on investors by KGIOP, because the plant's workshops are an architectural monument. Sestra River Developments has completed the development concept for a 13.9-hectare site located on the territory of the Sestroretsk Tool Plant. According to the master plan developed by the English architectural studio Paul Davis & Partners, a residential area is planned to be built on the territory of the plant, sports center, as well as a "local downtown" with infrastructure including a school, restaurants, cafes, bars, a supermarket and shops. The complex was named "Petrovsky Arsenal".

In 2008, the process of transforming the factory territory into a multifunctional public, business and residential complex began. The first object was the restored "House of the Plant Commander". According to the project, the former closed and even secret factory territory will become a residential area in the center of Sestroretsk with the preservation appearance, both of all historical factory buildings, and of the territory as a whole, open to the public. On October 30, 2009, production activities at the plant were closed, all workers were laid off.

Sestroretsk tool factory named after Voskov 1724: Sestroretsk tool factory named after S. P. Voskov (Sestroretsk, Voskov street, 1), produces cutting tool(drills, cutters, etc.), special machine tools for foreign industry, consumer goods (including woodworking tools).

Founded by Peter I in 1721 on the banks of the river. Sister (hence the name) as a state-owned arms factory. Opened on January 27, 1724, it consisted of 20 "arms factories" (2 anchor workshops, a blast furnace, a steel workshop "for making blades and baguettes", cannon, compass, barrel, etc.). In 1723-40, gunpowder was produced at the plant in 15 gunpowder workshops, then the equipment was transferred to the Okhta gunpowder factories. Since the 1720s there was a school (closed in 1867). In 1753, by order of M. V. Lomonosov, a steam boiler and instruments for chemical experiments were made. In 1754-66, copper coins were minted, in particular from the barrels of captured Prussian guns. Then cast-iron cannons, tongues for bells, ready-made for the Senate were made, 400 sets of gratings for embankments, etc. were produced. At the beginning of the 19th century. technical re-equipment of the plant was carried out. The plant was equipped to fulfill complex orders and produce 30-40 thousand guns per year (2-3 thousand were produced; in 1854, mass production of rifles with a rifled barrel began). In the early 1860s the first samples of magazine rifles were manufactured at the factory, in 1867 the production of the Carle rifle was started. In the early 1890s Mass production of S. I. Mosin’s 3-line rifle (commemorative plaque) began at the plant; for its manufacture, the plant received the highest award at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900. In 1900, the Main Artillery Directorate opened a special technical school at the plant. At the end of XIX - beginning of XX centuries. at the Sestroretsk plant, the creators of domestic automatic weapons V. G. Fedorov, F. V. Tokarev, V. A. Degtyarev put their ideas into practice. In 1905 there were about 2,000 workers at the plant. On March 1 (14), 1917, a workers' militia was created in Sestroretsk, headed by M. N. Ilyin, A. A. Andreev, N. G. Shilov, and others. On March 8 (21), the Provisional Revolutionary Committee was established. March 20 (April 3) - the Bolshevik revolutionary commissariat, in May - the factory committee headed by S. P. Voskov (since 1923 the factory bears his name). AT civil war rifles were repaired at the plant (250 per day by the end of 1918), drummers for Maxim machine guns, spare parts for rifles, etc. were manufactured. Then the plant switched to the production of civilian products. Since 1922 the modern name. In 1921-26, the production of 135 types of tools was mastered (in 1940-528 items), in 1934 - the manufacture of machine tools (by 1940, 1,750 machine tools were produced). In 1939, by order of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, the first computer in the USSR was manufactured. From the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the equipment was evacuated to Novosibirsk and partially to Leningrad, where the production of weapons was established: PPD assault rifles, from 1943-PPS. After the end of the war, the plant specialized in the production of tools, since 1966 - metal-cutting tools. Automation was carried out (in 1990 its level was about 50%) and mechanization (over 88%) of production. For the first time, the plant mastered the mass production of monolithic carbide end and key cutters, structures equipped with carbide blades, drills for the radio engineering and electronics industries, machines for longitudinal screw rolling, etc. He was awarded the Order of the October Revolution (1971). In 1975 the memorial of military glory was opened. On the buildings of the workshops there are memorial plaques in memory of the Red Guards V. I. Zof, N. A. Kubyak, Voskov, the worker N. A. Emelyanov, who sheltered Lenin and G. E. Zinoviev in Razliv, as well as in memory of F. F. Chistyakov and Hero of the Soviet Union L. N. Borisov (former factory workers). The People's Museum of the Plant's History is operating. Large-circulation newspaper "Sestroretsk Toolmaker" (since 1922, the name has changed).

Mother asked me to help her clean up all the junk on the mezzanine, and in one of the packages, I saw this planer) Apparently, they used it for the first and last time when repairs were made in that apartment for the first time, i.e. 30 years ago. The planer, apparently, was used practically "as is", out of the box - since almost everywhere there was a factory grease, in which wood dust and fragments of shavings sat. The only thing, the factory sharpening of the piece of iron, was slightly corrected along the sharpening chamfer (by the way, it was concave - there were traces of a coarse abrasive, with a smoother surface closer to the edge and at the very beginning of the chamfer. I measured the angle - it turned out to be 25.1 degrees, with a thickness the piece of iron is about 3.5 mm., and in the area closer to the edge, where the metal is removed in a factory way, probably on the grindstone - 3.3-3.4 mm.).
I disassembled the planer, I was pleasantly surprised by the almost corrosion-free and not torn threads:

What especially pleased me - the plane of the "sole" is very satisfactory - the calibration square showed sane flatness both in length and diagonally, the only thing is that there are gaps in a couple of places, but a 20 micron probe does not fit there. thick, which I think is very good, especially since the places of tight fit of the calibration square turned out to be just at the “heel” and at the “mouth” itself, and then at the “nose” (I don’t know how to call it correctly - with the terminology of I'm still tight). This is good, because, having already had the experience of leveling the cast-iron sole of the planer on the lap, I would not at all want to do it again. For now, I'll leave it as it is. The only thing that confuses the width of this mouth:

And the fact that the native piece of iron, being installed in place in it, gives gaps along the edges. I tried to try on a piece of iron from an old wooden sherhebel, Sheffield's, like this:

But, it turned out to be the opposite, wider than you can cram here, and I am far from the idea of ​​​​fitting the Sheffield piece of iron under the wax planer, narrowing it - it’s better that I still ripen to restore the wooden one in which she “lived”.
I scraped off the black paint from the bed with an iron brush, having discovered what I was ready for when reading the topics about the restoration of planers on woodtools.ru, namely, the fact that under the paint there can be as much corrosion as you like. But I was lucky - in a couple of places, not dangerous, she really ended up, but not much. In general - as much as possible - I tore off the paint, cleaned everything properly with wd-40, measured the sidewalls along the way - it's nice that they turned out to be at 90 degrees to the "sole" - on the one hand, however, there is a small blockage to the top of the bed, but not critical , I consider. In general, I was lucky - there is no need to bring out the plane of the sole, the sidewalls at 90 degrees - everything is also in order, the threads are normal, the authentic handles are intact, the only thing is that the back one has a little play - apparently, it will be necessary to build a lining from one edge, a wooden wedge, or even completely made of thin skin, sanded onto a wedge, soaking it with epoxy or poxypol, which is essentially the same thing. The mouth, of course, confuses with a larger size than it should for a native piece of iron, but I have no idea how to stop this matter with minimal labor costs and my lack of experience in such work, I probably first need to look at the case - I already had doubts about about the mouth in the nameless werewolf, somehow, but it turned out that nothing clogs and the chips climb as it should, you never know, maybe everything will be in order here. The factory "sharpening" of the piece of iron, of course, is awful - it was stupidly removed from the plane on, apparently, the sidewall of the circle:

On the chamfer - as I said, it is concave, and slightly corrected with something, but in the process of work, it is ditched tightly:

The "bed" has concentric traces of processing, rough and very, but I'll see - maybe it won't be necessary to grind - the knife lies flat, and this is the main thing. Well, if there is a "bounce" or if it moves out with a reasonable tightening of the screw during operation, if there is a touch / fit only on individual "tops" of the roughness, then I'll take care of the processing.
The back handle, of course, is amazing - it is "three fingers", the index should be placed over the rear edge of the piece of iron, which, in my opinion, is very inconvenient. The main thing - after all, even making a larger one is not an option, precisely because the edge of the piece of iron will interfere! Why did it have to be done that way? Well, do not cut the piece of iron along the length, for the sake of installing a larger handle? It’s a strange moment, well, really, maybe I’m due to my lack of education in carpentry tools, I don’t know or don’t understand something here .... In general, I’m satisfied with this device, the most difficult thing seems to be in relative order, the rest is already on the go it will be clear whether things need to be improved, and how much.
As I bring it to my mind and try it out, I will continue the review, already about sharpening and impressions about the samples in the work.

P.S.
Undermined the piece of iron, not yet very carefully, just to understand what it's worth. I managed with three abrasives - I roughly trimmed and stripped 150 grit on the "Rubankovsky" silicon carbide bar, and then, immediately on the 1000-nick - because on the flat side I applied the principle of the so-called. "magic ruler", then it was possible to remove rough risks from 150 to a sufficient area from the edge quite quickly. Well, and, with a forest charnley, one of my most "biting", but rather soft tactile, with a slight increase in angle, I made a small microbevel. I tried to touch. I like it! It is very, very easy to walk along a pine beam with knots, the index finger on top of the piece of iron forward - it turned out to be much more convenient in work than I expected, the performance, in my opinion, is crazy).
In general, I'm already looking forward to taking him to the country, how to work. The piece of iron showed itself quite well in such a finish, with a rough "micro-tooth" from charnley, I think that for this tool it's just what you need. In general, I quite liked the piece of iron in terms of its behavior in sharpening and in the first test, I was especially pleased that it did not try to corrode during sharpening on water bars, the ratio of hardness and viscosity seemed very satisfactory, the burr was easily “washed away” by several circular movements on a suspension of 1000 -nickname, but she was no longer on charnley at all - she eats with appetite, does not draw out her new one. The chips come out easily, nothing clogs.
Now I’m finalizing the issue with the backlash of the handle (until I couldn’t bear to try, I just tightened it, putting a piece of thin leather on it - it’s not the case, of course, but I really wanted to try it right away), I’ll sharpen it more carefully, and I’ll try further!
In general, the impressions are the most positive.
