a plan, drawn up by a committee of
representatives of the East German broa(:. cast reCeiver manufacturing enterprises
which met at the Funkwerk Dresden 10-13 March 1958, to establish standards for the
five types of broadcast receivers to be manufactured in East Germany. The types
include a top quality model (manufacturing cost about 460 DIE), two medium grades
(350 and 260 DME), a small model (190 DME) and a utility model (140 DME). The
plan, as drawn up by the committee, describes in detail the function of each
model. Further, specific recommendations on the standardization of comppnents
are included; the use of printed circuits and germanium diodes is discussed.
Detailed specifications of components are given. During the perlod 1960 - 1965,
production would be as follows:
1960 1961 1962-1965 (per year)
