Merited Machinist Pak Min Chol

Pak Min Chol, an assembler of the coal mining machine shop at the Ranam Coal-mining Machine Factory, is the Merited Machinist.

When he began his work at the factory, he would be at a loss how to operate the machine because of his poor technical skill.

Then, the veteran skilled workers helped him improve his skill implanting the attachment to the factory into his mind.

Once he was involved in assembling equipment.

Seeing the skilled workers who remedied the errors all night which he had ignored regarding it as a trifle, he was impacted.

At that time, he cherished deep in mind the request of the skilled workers that what is more important than high level of technical skill is to have attachment to his job and equipment.

After that, he strove to become a true skilled worker with pure conscience.

Though it was difficult for him to take meticulous care for every process including manufacturing, assembling, trial operations and introduction, he devoted himself to his work performing his duty to the Party and state.

In Dec. 2019, his devoted labor was rewarded with the title of the Merited Machinist.

He is old but still active in his work and sets an example to newcomers.
