Additional information

Inscriptions

The Central Executive Committee of the USSR in its Manifesto, published for the ten-year anniversary of the October Revolution, decided to move factories and plants from an 8-hour work day to a 7-hour work day over the next 5 years. The introduction of a 7-hour work day, according to the rationalization of production, increases the productivity of workers' labor, enhances the quality of the goods produced, which leads to the the lowering of their cost.
Besides that, the 7-hour day gives the possibility to recruit more workers, gives them the possibility of increasing their cultural level and to participate more in public work. (A "conveyor" is a continuously moving belt with separate parts produced by a machine.)

State Publisher, Moscow & Leningrad, 1928
