Popis: Scrap-breaking shop No. 1 at the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine has made and put into service two self-propelled units of a new design for the mechanized removal of debris and nonmagnetic materials from gondola cars. Use of the units has completely eliminated manual labor formally required to close the hatches, remove debris and pieces of nonmagnetic materials, and clean dirt and snow from the sides of the cars. The unit is equipped with a dust-suppressing device and a hoisting telpher to lift its components when it, itself, is being repaired. It is operated from a cab and is relatively quiet when in use. It can handle 250 gondolas a day.
