AB - A. N. Slatinskii Methods of automatic control, process control, and quality control based on the use of radioactive isotopes and nuclear radiations are being employed at present in various branches of light industry. The session of the panel on light industry was devoted to a discussion of these problems. It is common knowledge that an increase in the productivity of 1abet and machinery, as well as efficient and economic consumption of raw and semifinished materials~in some light industry lines depend significantly on rapid and continuous weight determinations of the material during the manufacturing process. This applies to such commodities as paper, cardboard, plastics, fabric coatings, etc. The Central Research Institute for the Cotton Industry (TsNIKhBI) developed a BIV noneontactlng weight checker in 1955. The device operates on the principle of measuring the absorption of beta radiation passing through the material, with the aid of two ionization chambers included in a balanced circuit. The working transducer and the compensation transducer comprising the device consist of radioactive sources and ionization chambers. A movable metal blind coupled to the weight-indicating scale of the device is placed between the radioactive source and the ionization chamber of the compensation transducer. The ionization currents in
