Tashkent, Pravda Vostoka, 3 Jul 51
This year, the Tashkent Agricultural Machine Building Plant has been as-
signed the task of building twice as many cotton pickers as it did last year.
The assignment for the first half of 1951 has been fulfilled ahead of time
and dozens of machines above plan assembled.
Last year, the plant did not meet the plan for cotton pickers and cleaners.
To overcome organizational shortcomings, the Production-Dispatching Division
and the Technical Control Division were strengthened. The management of the
cotton picker assembly line was also strengthened. Three assembly conveyers
were set up. Up to this year, technical and organizational shortcomings have
prevented rhythmical and coordinated operation of the plant, and, consequently,
effective use of the conveyer lines. Conversion to conveyer assembly lines de-
manded a basic improvement of the remaining shops.
More than 50 Stakhanovite schools were organized, and a Stakhanovite
council was set up in each shop. More than 350 workers have adopted Stakhanovite
work methods, and 330 lathe and milling-machine operators have adopted high-speed
metal-cutting methods. Technological planning and labor organization on the main
assembly line have been basically changed.
Last year, the plant saved more than 8 million rubles by adopting innova-
tions, and this year it has already saved more than 1z million rubles.
The plant is making persistent efforts to save metal. A change in the de-
sign of a spindle has made it possible to save 1,186 tons of carbon steel. Plant
workers promised to save 600 tons of rolled metal and 800 tons of pig iron for the
construction projects by the end of the year.
COMPLETES PLANS EARLY -- Alma-Ata, Kazakhstanskaya Pravda, 20 Jul 51
The Tashkent Agricultural Machine Building Plan` ships cotton pickers to
the RSFSR, the Ukraine, Moldavia, the Caucasus, and republics of Central Asia.
This year, the plant has received new combination machine tools and is making wide
use of high-duty attachments. As a result of technological improvements, twice
as many machines are coming off the main conveyer this year as last.
Recently, the plant shipped the last consignment of cotton pickers, to com-
plete the third quarter plan for Azerbaydzhan. The plant is completing third-
quarter plans for shipping machines to Moldavia, Stavropol' Kray and the Ukraine.
MODERNIZE COTTON PICKER -- Moscow, Trud, 27 Jul 51
The Tashkent Agricultural Machine Building Plant has started making the
first consignment of modernized SKhM-48 M cotton pickers. The new design is the
result of intensive work by the plant and the State Design Bureau for Cotton,
and incorporates a number of improvements.
The new machine has improved operating features, and its weight has been re-
duced by 3 kilograms.
-BUILD NEW FIELD COTTON CLEANER -- Tashkent, Pravda Vostoka, 30 Jun 51
The Tashkent Agricultural Machine Building Plant has built an experimental
model of the UPKh-1.5 field cotton cleaner, which will perform the work now done
by the KhChO-43 cotton cleaner. The machine will clean either hand-picked or
machine-picked cotton together with the unripened bolls.

The machine is the culmination of many years if research by the State
Special Design Bureau for Cotton, which set about correcting the faults of the
KhChO-43. Belt drive was replaced by a roller chain drive, and loading and
disposal of chaff were mechanized. All chain and gear drives are protected
by guards.
The universal field cotton cleaner is three times as.productive as the
former machine, protects the fibers from mechanical damage, and turns out a
high grade of cotton.
The Tashkent Plant will series produce the new machine starting with the
fourth quarter 1951.
