               Having established the production of marine engines, the Bryansk machine builders began
        to increase its pace. After the first engine was delivered by the end of 1961, three more were
        produced. And already in 1962, the number of diesel engines produced reached one and a half
        dozen. More and more standard sizes of engines were mastered every year.
