(FOR KEY SEE REVERSE)
There is an acute shortage of copper in Rumania. Large numbers of small
motors, produced in accordance with the plan, cannot be used, because the
shortage of copper has made impossible the manufacture of the necessary
rheostats, switches, and switchboards. There is also a shortage of nickel-
copper alloys for rheostat resistances. Some experiments are being made
with iron as a substitute for copper and nickel-copper alloys for trans-
formers and generators.
