Kommersant - Russia's Daily Online On the basis of the Ministry of the Light Industry of the RSFSR, the joint-stock company Russian Light Industry (Roslegprom) was formed, and Aleksandr Biryukov became its president.

Light Bulb History - Invention of the Light Bulb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Many inventors had tried to perfect incandescent lamps to "sub-divide" electric light or make it smaller and weaker than it was in the existing electric arc lamps, which were too bright to be used for small spaces such as the rooms of a house. Between the years 1878 and 1892 the electric light industry was growing in terms of installed lights but shrinking in terms of company competition as both Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse determined to control the industry and its advancement. The incandescent light bulb (archaically known as the electric lamp) uses a glowing wire filament heated to white-hot by electrical resistance, to generate light (a process known as thermal radiation or incandescence). www.ideafinder.com /history/inventions/story074.htm   (4371 words)

Kazakstan - Industry In south-central Kazakstan, the most important industrial centers are Shymkent (chemicals, light industry, metallurgy, and food processing), Almaty (light industry, machine building, and food processing), and Zhambyl (chemicals, machine building, and food processing). The metallurgy and energy industries were the main contributors to the 1994 decline, although by percentage light industry (down 56 percent) and engineering and metalworking (down 43 percent) suffered the sharpest reductions. Reduced consumer purchasing power exacerbated declines in most processing and consumer goods industries, however; overall light industry output was 61.2 percent lower in the first five months of 1995 than in the same period of 1994. countrystudies.us /kazakstan/27.htm   (696 words)

Diesel Progress North American Edition: Light towers shine on: reduced inventories and daylight savings keep machines ... Reduced inventories and daylight savings are keeping light tower manufacturers busy, which resulted in improved year-end statements for most light tower manufacturers. While natural disasters typically increase the demand for light towers in the affected areas, the events of Sept. 11 created such a need for continuous lighting that inventory levels on the East Coast disappeared for many light tower manufacturers.

Light Industry - Kyrgyzstan Development Gateway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The Kyrgyz Government began privatization of light industry in the mid-1990s.  A portion of the shares of state-owned companies was sold to the managers and workers collectives.  About a quarter of the shares were sold to the public at privatization auctions.  The remaining shares were offered to private investors.  The sector is gradually reviving using the legacy left from the Soviet light industry: locally produced raw materials, inexpensive qualified labor with the industry expertise, and existing manufacturing capacities and assets.  (seetable 1. The domestic market for light industry products is limited by the Kyrgyz Republic’s population, about 4.5 million people.  Another limiting factor is the low purchasing power of the local population.  Low income consumers have limited means to spend on garments and shoes, whereas middle and upper class buyers prefer higher-quality imported goods. eng.gateway.kg /light_industry   (1278 words)

Poland - Industry Under the central planning system, statistics on production by individual industries and on their relative shares in total industrial production through the communist period were distorted by administrative price fixing and unequal distribution of industrial subsidies.

The construction machinery industry, which expanded during the 1970s on the basis of Western licenses, traditionally exported a large proportion of its output to the Soviet Union, with which some joint ventures were established. countrystudies.us /poland/56.htm   (1121 words)
