"Russo-Balt".
Since the spring of 1916, the Russo-Balt automobile plant has been under construction in Fili near Moscow. We didn't have time to finish, the revolution broke out. But the Bolsheviks turned out to be practical, statesmanlike people. The plant was completed, and a branch of the same Russo-Balta was transferred from St. Petersburg. All this became known as BTAZ - "Armored Repair and Automobile Plant 1". On October 8, 1922, the first light staff car for the Red Army was assembled on the basis of an open 6-seater car "Russo-Balt" from 1916. The car received the unpleasant name "Prombron S24-40".
The parts, except for the rolling bearings, magneto and carburetor, were domestic. A new camshaft, water pump, and fan were installed on the 4-cylinder 45 hp engine with a 4-speed gearbox. The body was lengthened and the spoked wheels were replaced with solid ones. The wide rear tires suggested good cross-country ability. With a mass of 1850 kg, the "Prombron" accelerated to 75 km, but did not "eat" gasoline&"and " ate&"- 25-30 liters per 100 km. However, it did not require special fuel quality.
A gift for Ilyich.
In 1923, two "Industrial tanks" participated in the All-Union test run of 2017 km with numbers 1 and 2. There were 50 cars. The chances of winning were low. Among the world's famous brands, "Prom Armor" looked homemade. But this is just the beginning!
According to the plan, it was supposed to assemble 1,000 cars in two years, but the plant was unexpectedly transferred to the concession of the German company "Junkers". The one whose planes will come to bomb the USSR in 20 years.
We managed to assemble three cars. Two remained unfinished. In 1923-26, 22 more cars were assembled at Preobrazhenka.
According to rumors, in December 1923, one car was presented to Lenin, one to Trotsky, and one to Kalinin. Lenin loved "Rolls-Royces", but he was no longer interested in cars - he was quietly dying in a roller coaster. Trotsky supported the American automobile industry, but grandfather Kalinin rolled back to the "Prombroni" until 1945.
Vodka for millions.
The car has sunk into oblivion. But in 2008, entrepreneur L. Yankelevich revived a piece of "Russo-Balta" by producing a new "Industrial Armor" - an armored car for the army, police and rich Pinocchio. The new "Dartz Prombron", equipped with 400 "horses" in the carburetor and 360 in the diesel engine, accelerates to 180 km. You can't shoot him with armor-piercing bullets, you can't blow him up with a bomb. The interior is made of the skin of frogs or whales, the seats are adjustable in eight directions.
He received the blessing of the Prince of Monaco at the exhibition. The cost of the "ride" is amazing to the wildest imagination. The creators cannot be denied their originality. Coraz większym zainteresowaniem cieszy się rocky spin casino no deposit bonus , idealny dla nowych graczy.
