在党的总路线光辉照耀下，人们敢想、敢说、敢做的共产主义风格得到了极大的发挥，一年来在机床战线上即涌现出了不少新的创造与发明；如水泥机床、“积木式”机床等等。这些创造发明，体现了多、快、好、省的精神。显示了工人群众的惊人才干。 能用水泥造机床，木头造机床，那么石头是否也能呢？工人们用智慧与干劲揭破了这个“谜”。以实物来证明：“石头也能用来制造机床”。 实践证明，用石头造机床不仅可以节省大量金属材料；缓和目前水泥供应的紧张局面，而且还具有水泥结构所不及的优点，如不易变形，不受油的腐蚀，生产周期短，可以就地取材，随取随制等，从而为我国机床制造业提供了“取之不尽，用之不竭”的天然资──石头。为了推广这一新材料的使用经验，这里特选刊重庆几个厂制造的几台石头机床。──编者 Under the brilliance of the Party’s general line, the style of communism that people dare to think, dare to say, and dare to do has been greatly brought into play. Many new creations and inventions have emerged on the machine tool front over the past year; such as cement machine tools, “Building block” machine tools and so on. These inventive inventions reflect the spirit of many, fast, good, and provincial. Shows the amazing talent of the working masses. Can use cement to make machine tools, wood to make machine tools, then the stone can do it? The workers uncovered this “mystery” with wisdom and drive. In kind to prove: “stone can also be used to make machine tools.” Practice has proved that the use of stone machine tools can not only save a lot of metal materials; ease the current shortage of cement supply, but also has the advantages of cement structure, such as not easily deformed, not subject to oil corrosion, short production cycle, can be drawn on the spot With the take-it-manufacture and so on, it has provided China’s machine tool manufacturing industry with an “inexhaustible, inexhaustible” natural asset—stone. In order to promote the use of this new material, several stone machine tools manufactured by several plants in Chongqing were selected. ──Editors
