COORDINATING COMMITTEE

EXPORT OF CRYSTAL DIODES TO POLAND
COCOM Document No. 229a_
The French Delegation refer to their Note (COCOM 3875) dated the
11th February 1960, concerning a request for the export to Poland of
crystal diodes and transistors, and also to COCOM 3920 dated the 16th
March 1960, in which the United States authorities raised an objection
to the export of the diodes of types 8123 B, 8123 C, 8023 B, 8023 C and
8121 C as they considered that these diodes were not appropriate to the
end-use indicated in the memorandum.
The French Delegation have obtained information on the use of the
crystals referred to and submit this to the Coordinating Committee herewith.
1. Type TH 8123 B is used in the Hertzian link system type
TM 110 (link between the television camera and the transmitter).
2. Typo TH 8123 C will operate in television vans in Kattowitz.
3. Type TH 8023 B - in bulb voltmeters for the television frequency
range and, above that level, for scientific exploration.
4. Type TH 8023 C will operate in the radar system installed on
a civilian aF,rodrome (Warszaw-Okecie) to ensure the safe landing
of aircraft.
5. Type TH 8121 C is intended for the rectification of radio high
frequency current.
The French Delegation would be glad if the Committee would be good
enough, in view of the new details supplied, to give their views as
soon as possible.
