1. The Oberepreewerk finds it increasingly difficult to obtain raw materials.
It was stated during a conference that no further raw materials will be sent
from Russia and that necessary sup-Dlies"must be procured from 'brman stocks,
if necessary, by means of barter arrangements. The following items are to
be imported from the vtestern zones; the plants listed helovr them are being
considered as possible suppliers of the goods concr-rned:
a. Special cast iron, rolled iron, cast steel and tool steel, all special
iron, seariiess pipes, heating, boilin-, and threa:!ed nies, iron allhys
N2, Pn, P2 irons, (probably refers to various phases of' the iron and
carbon mixture), special steels:

2. Further difficulties are occasioned for the Oberspreewerk by the total lack of
coordination in industry. A typidal example is that encountered in the case
of the Leuchstoff t1dhH in Steinbach/Thuringia., the only factory of its kind in
the Russian Gone, which was scheduled to be dismantled. 4. group of 0>~ specialists
visited it in order to see what could he salva ;ed for the continuation of
re^earch work and production. Upon their arrival they discovered that everything
had been dismantled and that all machines, raw materials, and forrrniaO were
already ship-)ed. The leading Ten had escaped to the west.
3. Dr. lfachenberg has been. ordered to try to develop machines and materials suited
for the manufacture of image screens (Bildschirme) which are urgently needed
for the 6,000 radar apparatuses to be made in the Soviet Union under the
direction of major :+ild Rube. The OS3+ is to manufacture only the necessary
oscillographs; productio will start in June and 600 oscillographs will he
made in that month. Since the -,)ants in Arnstadt have been :;nttirely dismantled,
the tai must first develop the machines necessary for the nrodii -k4 nn of -hr' es.
4. The American television tube Ft' 7 has been improved, `..e., the electron lens
was enlarged from 6 to 10 mm. Throu! h this cnlarc*r-n.eut, an improvement of the
image was obtained, due to the fact that the spherical error of refraction is
inversely proportional to Lhe 3rd power of this diameter. In addition., one
aperture-plate was omitted in the plate a (14iode); this has the disadvantage
of allowinw secondary electrons which are-released to pet into the field of
vision, t7-iereb- interferinn with the picture, i.e., image. The aperture-plate
will be used in the plate a2, where the acceleration of released secondary
electrons might, perha2s, be stopped, so that these electrons .ill no longer
interfere with the image,
