C. Shop 13 has 600 workers divided into 3 shifts. This shop produces
large parts for agricultural machines in the same way that shop 9
produces small parts. Some of the products of*shop 13 are wheels,
blades, and the larger frames.
d. Only 200 workers are employed in shop 14, and these are divided into
only 2 shifts. This shop is the oldest and the smallest and produces
only hand-made model"
e. The individual parts are brought into the mechanical shops on electrical
cars by women and girls. These electrical cars come from. Germany and
were first introduced in the factory in very limited number in 1948.
Some of the smaller shops are described below:

smaller laboratories connected to the individual shops, there is a main
laboratory with about 40 workers. The testing and surveying of the newly
manufactured machines taken. place in this main laboratory.
5. A special engineering department undertakes new plans for newly invented
