The author tries to reveal dynamics of change of manufacture statistics, to define the factors influencing the change of such dynamics, to study the work of factory attendants and salesmen, aimed at organisation and realisation of manufacture at Kaslinsky and Kyshtymsky factories in the last quarter of 18th – the beginning of 19th centuries. Particular attention is given to the problems of interaction between salesmen and the plant owner as a major factor defining change of dynamics of factory manufacture. The following factors are singled out: change of personnel of the main participants of administrative manufacturing process (salesmen, workmen and factory owners), their relationships, manufacturing expenses. It should be noted that in general the dynamics of manufacture, despite lack of steadiness and frequent drops, nevertheless was positive (at least, till the end of the century) and the drops were often caused by not recession of the manufacture, but by careless reports sent to the factory owner.
