I did not have time to look around as September came. All university students were mobilized to collect cotton. But two days later all students of the Faculty of Mechanical were returned to the city. This was due to the fact that due to the lack of workers at the Tashselmash and Uzbeksel -Mash factories, they could not cope with the plan for the production of cotton harvesters. Since this was directly related to our specialization, we, working on machines, produced agricultural equipment, which contributed to the implementation of the plan for the collection of “white gold” — the pride of Uzbekistan.
