This 1930 technical manual is a remarkable artifact from the era of the first Five-Year Plan, representing the early Soviet drive for industrial rationalization and the scientific organization of labor (NOT). Published by the Tekhnika Upravleniya (Management Technique) house in both Moscow and Kyiv, the work was designed as a practical guide for engineers and factory managers tasked with implementing standardized labor norms in a rapidly industrializing economy. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of industrial efficiency, including the arrangement of time-motion studies, the calculation of production quotas for metalworking and assembly lines, and the systematic reduction of wasted labor hours. Featuring two folding technical charts and numerous illustrations, the volume serves as a bridge between the Taylorist methods of the West and the specific socioeconomic requirements of the early Soviet state.
The physical presentation of the book is a prime example of the constructivist style that dominated Soviet graphic design in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The hardcover binding utilizes bold, geometric typography and a functionalist aesthetic to reflect the modern, technological nature of the content. Across its 209 pages, the manual documents a pivotal moment when the Soviet Union sought to transform a largely agrarian workforce into a disciplined industrial proletariat through "technical norm-setting." For bibliophiles of the avant-garde and historians of Soviet technology and labor, this 1930 Moscow-Kyiv imprint is a vital primary source, capturing the intersection of revolutionary artistic design and the pragmatic engineering of the socialist state.
