частично механизирован процесс производства, gen.

[N-Liya]

В 1935 году освоен гидравлический способ добычи торфа, частично механизирован процесс производства, однако значительный вес имели и ручные операции.

Как перевести это "механизирован процесс"? смысл в том, что сначала торф добывали вручную, а потом появилось немного техники. Написать mechanized рука не поднимается.

Заранее спасибо.

the peat mining was mechanized in part

Peat production/mining was partially mechanised.

In 1935 hydraulics were introduced giving rise to mechanized extraction which at the time accounted for a relatively small portion of the total peat production as compared to hand-cutting.

In 1935, a hydraulic method of peat production was implemented, but despite partial use of mechanical devices manual labor still played a significant role.
