chinery in the factory was beginning to drop out of service. As a result, the
plan was not being fulfilled and quality was falling.

unit of 23 Soviet "Kalenina" machines, replacing an old unit of tea machines, to

developed more revolutions per mimite. Then, after many experiments, and using
the limited facilities available at the Factory, he made a new chrome-steel
spindle ~athe?] of the same precision as the orl.ginal.
Nushi also overhauled, for the first time, a machine for sewing soles which
was out of service because many of its parts were worn out sad could not be re-
placed in the absence o? a spindle. He also made another spindle and a great
many other new tools.
