2. The office of Dr. Lange, located at T,t&tzsOh1erstrasso
has been given flab, authority by the SMA to develop the equip rent listed at e,,
This office, which employs approximately 35 persons (technicians and builderz)v

to those emloyed in this office.
Several of the aerodynamic training .models made in the offices of Dr. Lange
could not be nave-produced. P1di. ications in construction had to be node. At
the outset each model had to be node in 5. copies which were sent to I.oscow for
testing. The Moscow technicians limited themselves to several changes in extraneous
details, and the n Industrie Werke Sachsen- Anhaltt received an order for 550 sample;
(Orders for each series customarily call_ for 550 pieces.)
It is probable that Dr. Lange developed the scale for the measurement of tic
components up to six components. On 10 January 1948 the plans of the ia.ttev
were drawn and the I.W. Sack enAnhalt were to make copies of than also,
5. The instrument for the measurement of the thrust developed by heli.4iopters
was completed for the simultaneous measurement of, thrust and t uotiono The
Russians delivered the manufacturing license' 1and an order i'e:,? 560 cad Was
given to the Industrie Werke.

of Thuringia on order of the Sih1L Technical Office No. 16. Several mechanical
workshops of Suhl, Erfurt and PMulhaueee have been entrustod with the filling n
of orders. The Zeiss-Jew workshops are assigned to build 550 radar sets. CN
Zeiss also mamifactures apparatuses for blind lending for Office No. 16,
