    On the crest of a diesel-building wave


    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.
