with the rest of the I ralowid-Werk?o
Since I October 1952, this section:,. headed by Dr Matthias F"altery
has to a large extent been direetly administered by Haupt;:verwaltng
Elektrotechnik (Main Electrical Eigine.ering Adininistration) of the
Ministerium flier Maschinenbau (Ministry fare Iachine Construction).

considerable staff of scientists aiid techni ane, He is responsible
for all VVB RPT research and development work in the field of
constructional elements for electric technological voxk?,
The main testis of the search and. .Development 8e tion in late 1952
and early 1953 were the development of 'various corms of:..
Resistances
Poterstiometers
Infrared radiators
Semiconductors
The section is working on the development of resistances, of high .
ohn value,, on a colloid principleb Porcelain bodies are supplied
to. the plant by the V.1 Porzellanfabrik Kloster Vei-lsdorf',, Thuringia;
V Stemagv'erkx Berlin-Pankow; and Firma Neuhaus. The research
section at Dralowid is experimenting with the spraying of a colloidal
prYeparati on onto these porcelain bodies After drying, a protective
cost of artificial lacquer is applied. This has to be temperature
resistant and to have the same electrical resistive properties as
that of the colloid preparation;
The section is also Working on pantohm resistances,, for the. infrared.
radiators. The problemi is the production of resistances. frith
pantohm glaze (nit Pantohm*G1.asur). The glaze available ,to. the
