This is what happened between him and the female worker during the production practice of young Kim Jong Il at the factory. Let This story is just a small episode, but it manifested the uniqueness of Kim Jong Il.
The day of prevention and inspection of equipment was Held, with this Kim Jong Il faced for the first time after joining the plant. From the early morning the workers were busy bringing the equipment in order. Kim Jong-Il, together with all brought in order lathe № 26, which worked. He examined every detail, every knot, which took a lot of time and effort.
Rubbing a rag machine, he suddenly noticed that the girl, who served the cross-planing machine, bringing it in order, poured oil. The youngest in the shop, she always showed agility in the work and now the first to finish the adjustment.
Kim Jong-Il, having finished the inspection of the machine, approached it with a oiled rag in his hand. The Machine was shining like a glass. Smiling, he looked carefully at the unit. Then the cloth is rubbed with the places, which are difficult to reach by hand, and then tried to turn the handle.
-And Why is the rotation of the handle so difficult? He Asked.
The Girl replied that so long ago.
It'S not possible. If It is lubricated, it should be easy to rotate. When did you fill the oil?
"This handle Has no lubrication point," the girl said confidently.
No? How many grease points does this machine have?
Twenty-One.
The girl's Answer was sure, as it happens in those who know their machine perfectly.
-Twenty-one point... Is that true? He asked again with a smile on his face.
Flashing with her dark eyes, she counted something in her mind and said again that it was true.
It'S not possible! Come on, let's see! And He began to rotate the handle, carefully following each movement. Then, pointing to the axis, said that there must be a point of lubrication.
The Stochnitsa shook her head. No matter How much you look, grease points were not visible. Kim Jong Il took out the tool box scraper for the grooves and began to clean the greasy dirt. As the layer of dirt disappeared, the grease point gradually began To appear. The Girl was given a divu, seeing a new point of lubrication.
Looking at the machine with a wide smile, Kim Jong Il said softly:-All rotating parts of the machines should be lubricated. By Precisely Observing this rule, you can improve the care of the machine.
The Girl blushed. She had been serving this machine for several years, but never knew exactly how many lubrication points it had. She was ashamed.
Looking at the confused girl, he said:-It is Good that we found the point of lubrication, until the machine was not in disrepair.
And He started pouring oil into it. Then he asked the girl to shake the handle. It revolved now easily, without the application of special efforts. The Girl clapped her hands with joy, as if something unusual had happened. He looked at her for a long time with a bright smile, and then with a serious look quietly said:-Among other workers can be such people who carry out technical care, not understanding the principles of the machine. And What if you show an example of exemplary care of the machine and lead the initiator of the movement "For exemplary maintenance and maintenance of machines"? When Comrades Follow your example, the operation of the equipment in the shop will be a fracture.
The Girl was thinking for a moment, and then excitedly answered: "Yes, that will be done. Sure.
But She was covered in doubts. Does it have the right to initiate such mass social movement as the struggle "For exemplary service and maintenance of machines"? Guessing her thoughts, Kim Jong Il advised her to boldly take up the case and promised to help in every way.
Inspired by his advice and great confidence, the young trainee made a lot of effort to show the samples of the machine service. Every Day, Kim Jong-Il followed the condition of her machine and suggested the shortcomings to be eliminated. When He was unable to do so because of his employment, he necessarily asked one of the trainee students to help her.
The days passed, and the girl became a model machine-maid. The Fame of it went all over the plant. On The Day when she was first awarded the title of "Model Stud" at the plant, she thanked Kim Jong Il for his great confidence.
But He, a humble and simple man, heartily congratulated her with success, attaching to her machine a pennant with the inscription "Model machine".
The Example of a young machine-girl was followed by the whole workshop. This is how the mass movement for exemplary maintenance of equipment, which became one of the links of the Movement for the title of the Chholima Brigade, unfolded. It was spread all over the plant with lightning speed.
The Story of the search for lubrication point quickly flew over the entire plant. The Movement for the title of the Chholima Brigade has entered a new stage of development.
Later people of this plant remembered this case with sincere warmth. All of them admired the way the new lubrication point was found. But They were even more amazed by the fact that Kim Jong Il has outstanding leadership abilities, that he has been able to radically improve the work on the care of the equipment.
