How .- The Plant used the 25-meter wide Leningradskiy road; the road bed
was made of stone and sand covered with a layer of tar. It needed to be re-
paired often because traffic was heavy and it was not well cared for. It
was always open to traffic. The garages and shops were adequate enough to
service the plant's 70 trucks. Vehicles unloaded between 0800 and 1800
and transported one percent less (i.e. lathes, parts. and bronze)
