PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES
The machine described in this report is rather too complex to be produced by 'Village Technology' techniques as exemplified by McPherson (1976) or by VITA (1978). However TAMTU (1975) did instigate a system for the production of ox-powered equipment whereby high-accuracy parts and turned components were produced at the Central Workshop for sale to the Rural Craft Workshops, which performed the other skilled and the semi-skilled production and assembly tasks. This 2-stage or 2-level approach should work for the thresher and for many other pieces of equipment.
