Under type designation B 23 0 3, Funkwerk Erfurt meanwhile supplied
several comparable sample tubes.. The tubes are statically focused. The
chemical aWmposition_ of the one'-component screen (Einkomponenten-
schirm) was developed in a laboratory that is not. subordinate to RFT
(Rundfunk- and Fernsehtechni.k).
4. KSA 6
The KSA.-6 to a 3,ation is the ? prototype of True 'i4otion installations.
Development stage K 4 is to be achieved in late 1959? Series
production will 'not be started until late 1960.. Later on, it is to
replace the KSAA3 installation. In addition to the KSA 6, the KSA 5
is to operate as a small-size installation.
The device is at present under development. Starting early July 1959,
designs for the construction of a model installation will be
transmitted to the workshop.
6. Traffic Radar
For testing and operational problems, some installations are built on
laboratory scale. In the future, only a small number of
installations will be built. It remains a research problem.
