The following tasks were approved:
1. The VEB Werk fuer Fernmeldewesen WF (formerly HF - the title was changed
as of 1 January 1955) has received notification from the State Planniniz
Commission of the latter's decisions on the tasks proposed for 1955, 25X1
2. The lists set out in paragraphs 3 to 9 inclusive are complete for the
television., VHF, and measuring-instrument departments, but do not. 1ncilule

ao K5-201 - Film scanner for normal frequencies, This instrument, cont.lir.:
the Dl-optical component made by VEB Carl Zeiss Jena, with two half-
Tessars and two photocells. The optical component must be adiusted
with an accuracy of 5 p. 50,000 DME have been authorized for putting
this instrument into production. After completion, it will be sold
to the Television Center, Merlin-Adlershof, at a price of 30,000

b. K5-204 - Electronic organ. 120,000 DME have been authorized for an orc?.rl
which is to operate by means of multivibrators, The development w.11 he
carried out in the electro-acoustic department under Dipl..-Ing, ?luh_
(fnu), using patents of Ingo Schreiber (fnu) in Domsch`s (fnu)
laboratory. Thus, this task appears by mistake in the television
department's list.
c. K5-212 - Customer's television servicing kit, A servicing kit has
already been developed for the television service which, in certain
respects, is superior to the corresponding Telefunken (West German)
equipment, 5,000 DME have been made available for Tutting it into
production.

d. K5-222 - Modulation-measuring instrument. This task concerns an
instrument for measuring parasite amplitude modulation in frequency
modulation stages; its development has already been completed, and it
is now to go into production.
e. K5-223 - Spectral analyzer. This analyzer for the frequency range
95-230 mcs has already been developed, is now to go into production.
f. K5-225 - VHF spectrometer. The laboratory prototype of this instrument,
for a frequency range of 40-100 mcs, has already been developed, and it
is now to go into production.
K5-232 - Coaxial aerial feeder. A prototype aerial ?eeder for VHF and
television, 250 m,long, for a power output of 10 kVJ with minimum
mismatching characteristics and attenuation; it will eventually be tested
on the aerial tower in Marlow, Mecklenburg.
h. ST 5-233 - A paper on industrial television, collating all the
possibilities and requirements in East Germany, and setting out details
of their planning costs and possible completion dates.
K5-381 - Test route for pulse code modul-ation. This is a directional
link route with a transmitter and receiver, operating on 2375 mcs, over
which the pulse code procedure is to be tested. The transmitter is to
have a power of 2 watts; the new impulse code tube Ls to be used for the
impulse transmission.
K5-382 - Field strength measuring set. This consists of three instruments
for the frequency ranges 300-700 mcs, 1400-1600 mcs and 2800-3200 mcs,
which were originally developed for the USSR. Shortly after being handed
over, the prototypes were sent back by the USSR as not suitable for
series production and had to be scrapped. They had been built .:ittc 1 its
which were either not standard or which could only be obtained trom the
West, so that difficulties were encountered when the Russians tried to
copy them. Accordingly, in 1953 and 1954, the USSR ordered field str r, t.t
measuring sets of a new design to be developed, which would be suitable
for series production, but the order was cancelled at the beginning of
1954 for some unknown reason. This development will now be continued
as an East German order; for the range 300-700 mcs and 1400-1600 mcs,
the instruments are already available and the one for the range 2800-
3200 mcs will be produced in the first quarter of 1955.
k. K5-383 wattmeter. This is an output meter for the video technique,
giving a range of up to 20 mcs and cos f' and providing also for measure-
ment of the pulse output.
1. K5-384 - notating: fielci strength measuring circuit (Rotierenle I:E ss e i t ui;:;, .
Rotating measuring circuits are to be developed for VHF and for decimeter
frequencies (20-60 cm), similar to the Aurora instruments nade by Pelefur;l
