我们收到柴天麟同志的来信,信中说:两年前他设计了一种“钢丝弹性联轴器”,由于各种原因一直没有进行实验。他想把图纸和说明寄给本刊,希望我们推荐给感兴趣的有关工厂进行试制、定型。他说:“如果真能给四化建设有所增益,那就是对我的最大安慰,也是对我学习创新的一种鼓励。”由此,他建议,是否能让全国有设计能力的工程技术人员搞点“业余创作”,经过审稿认为有实际应用价值又比较先进的,就可在刊物上登载,以引起各方面讨论研究。我们认为柴天麟同志的来信很有创见,对我们如何把刊物办好、办活,很有启发。读者园地需要大家来耕耘,如果是经过深思熟虑,在理论上有科学根据,在技术上有实现可能的设想(不是过于脱离实际的);虽然未经实践验证,我们也欢迎来稿,在读者园地内交流、讨论。如果发表后经有关单位实践验证,确属创造发明、技术革新,则对创造发明者如何进行奖励、读者也可发表自己的看法。现将来信的技术内容发表如下: We received a letter from Comrade Chai Tianlin. The letter said: Two years ago he designed a “steel wire elastic coupling”, which has not been tested for various reasons. He wanted to send drawings and instructions to this publication. He hoped that we would recommend trial production and finalization to interested factories. He said: “If we can really gain some gains from the four modernization projects, that is the greatest comfort to me and an encouragement for me to learn and innovate.” Thus, he suggested that if there is a national engineering ability technician Those who engage in “amateur creation” and are considered to have practical value and are more advanced after reviewing the manuscript can be published in the publication, which will lead to discussions and research in various fields. We believe that Comrade Chai Tianlin’s letter is very creative and inspiring for us how to handle and manage the publication. The readers of the park need everyone to work hard. If they are thoughtful and theoretically scientific, there are technically possible ideas (not too unrealistic); although we haven’t verified it in practice, we also welcome submissions in the reader’s field. Communication and discussion. If after the publication of the relevant unit’s practice verification, it truly is the creation of inventions and technological innovations, then how can the inventor be rewarded? The reader can also express his own opinions. The technical content of the letter is now published as follows:
