1. The manufacture of a fully automatic target camera for airplanes commenced
at 7eiss-Ikon, Dresden, on 15 Jan 54, on an order from the Soviet Union..
The camera will be able to take nine pictures per second. The development
work took only half a year. The camera was developed from a former
airforce camera. It is probauly intended for use by fighter planes,
because special weight has been placed on small size.
2. There has been no change in the production of curve potentiometers and
parts for torpedoes. The plant is able to keep its production constant
because the suo-ly of materials remains fairly regular.
