Russian to English Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems
I keep finding this translated as "harness-maker," which doesn't seem likely in this context where a special settler is working at the лХЪОЕГЛЙК нЕФБММХТЗЙЮЕУЛЙК лПНВЙОБФ. I thought perhaps they were using horses there at the time (the 1930's); however the text mentions the worker was involved in repairing conveyor belts. Any suggestions? Thanks!

saddler / harness maker

I believe this is someone with the skills of a harness maker/saddler perhaps using his saddlery knowlege to repair leather conveyor belts.

ыПТОЙЛ, according to Dahl, is someone generally making/repairing harness (ЫПТЩ in old Russian)
Peer comment(s):

agree Simon Gregory : belt-and-pulley arrangement was that in many factories and often the belts were made from real thick leather

lorimer

I believe this is a somewhat obsolete word. It refers to someone who makes harnesses, and specifically deals with the metal parts of the harness. FWIW.
