GES, and of the Main Turkmen Canal.
Representatives of the plant nave been working closely with the construction
workers to impro7e tht. efficiency of their machines. In the last 2 years, plant
designers have studied the performance of over 200 machines. Conversely, opera-

improiements in design, some of which have been put into effect.
One result of the collaboration of construction workers and plant designers
is the new experimental model E-507 excavator, which is now undergoing plant
tests. -- N. Grechin, director, Kovrov Excavator Plant; and A. Nikitin, chief
