26 BRICKS A MINUTE
SOVIET WORKERS’ ACHIEVEMENT.
Soviet building workers on an important rush job for the State Defence Committee decided to push it through in half the scheduled time, states the “Soviet War News.” Instructors in Stakhanovite methods altered the technical processes and trained the workers in new methods, so that jobs that used to take five to six months are now done in a month.
Several of the most skilled workers turned out 500 to 600 per cent of their quota —occasionally they leapt to 1,000 per cent. Stoppages were eliminated, thanks to the planning of every minute of the working day. A few days ago the best bricklayer in the Soviet Union, Ovchinnikov, set up a new record on this job by laying 4,800 bricks in three hours 26 bricks per minute.
