the Picture Tube Laboratory was to be concerned exclusively with
research and.development and not production. The facilities for this research and
development of picture tubes were to be extremely generous. The space occupied by
the laboratories for the development of all electron beam tubes was to be approximately
the size of one floor of the old NII-160 development building.
Approximately 15 German specialists worked for a period of two or three months in
drawing up the plans for the institute. DIERBACH was responsible for the picture
tube part of the installation. A chemical laboratory was also xilanned

years 1926 - 1930 it was a RO1-installed tube factory, and now it
an administration building housing the ]IYD, union representative,
and personnel bureau.

Many- engineers and. workers commuted to NII 160 from Moscow
on an'electric train that ran from Moscow to Fryazino at 45-
minute intervals during the morning and evenings This train
was always crowded with people when it arrived in Fryaz.ino,
and usually consisted'of five cars. The train ran from Moscow
to Monino via Bol,shevo and it was necessary for the people
to-transfer at Boishevo in order to come to Fryazino. The
engineers usually come from Moscow, due to the fact that there
axe not enough apartments in Fryazino to properly house them.
At first .the institute had a very difficult time employing good
engineers because of the poor housing conditions in Fryazino;
\-_however, the institute now is very popular and employs many
very good engineers. In addition to the workers that commute
by train, many ride bicycles to work, and a few walk, even
though it takes them approximately two hours each way.
Connections to and from Moscow are very bad except during the
period the workers travel to and from work. The connection
from Moscow to Shchelkovo is good, but the transfer at Bolshevo
requires a 30-to 45-minute wait, making the trip from Moscow
to Fryazino consume four hours.
With reference to the Nil 160 Secret Departments
In January 150, Mr. ASTRIN and two Soviet engineers worked in
room 6 of the third floor of the Nil 160 development building
One of the two Soviet
engineers who worked'for Mr. ASTRIN was a civilian, and the other
was either a captain or major in the artillery.
At any rate, he definitely was not in the Navy or Air Force. One
of the two engineers was named WALDMANN
In 1950 a Soviet engineer in a naval uniform was assigned to this
department. Also at this time engineers were taken from various
Nil 160'laboratories and assigned to the Secret Laboratory, as
well as were other engineers from Moscow. 11iss'Marina ALENIKOWA,
and. Miss Janastepanb a MARCZINZEWA were taken; from the Dark Traco
Tube 'Laboratory' and placed in the Secret Department. 2 Two or,three
lesser qualified people were also assigned there from the Dark
Trade" Laboratory. Mr,. ASTRIN, Chief of the Secret Department,
was originally Chief of the Dark Trace Tube Laboratory. Later
on he was made Ohief of both the Secret and Dark Trace Labs.

room-23 was.also'.assigned to the Secret Department, and room 6 was
turned into'a'Secret Department workshop. Also, at this time more
Soviets-came to the Secret Department from other institutes or
universities.
In 1951, in room 23, there were five to eight engineers who had
originally come from other institutes or universities, and five
.to eight technicians. In room 16 there are about the same number
oif engineers., but there are no technicians.
the Secret Department was solel concerned with
the development, and limited production of storage tubes.
