Abstract :
The Soviet Union invests 27% of its gross national product in new plants each year compared with our 19%. To maintain this higher rate of expansion, heavy emphasis is placed on automation. Observations of a delegation of automation specialists to the Soviet Union indicate this economic challenge must be taken seriously.
