Pic.5-19 Kalashnikov's own desk table and drawing board
Here you can see reconstruction of Mikhail Kalashnikov working place - featured are his own desk table and drawing board of him, same what were captured on this old photo.
Having finished merely 9 grades of formal education, he developed drawing skills only by late 50s - early 60s. Prior to this, he'd been helped out by engineers and technologist of the factories he happened to work at (in particular, by his wife Ekaterina).
Also, featured here is metalworker's workbench - frankly speaking, it doesn't differ dramatically from what's left in our factories currently.
