1. P:AVAG is producing arts, particul,;Lr=:- ignition magnetos for automo?iles and
tractors. They are being produced it ircreasing
, quantities for delivery to
the Soviet Union.. These parts tiger-! rt. t arttnufactured in Hungary until recently
when Soviet orders impelled MAVAG -;.;o ' edin producing their.
As a result of experiments made in :1i: parr and the Soviet Union in 1947, MA5YAG
undertook to produce ignition magrv tm.. Seventy-five percent of this production,
which was her-un in early 1948, is :'or delivery to Soviet Russia. The capacity
of these ignition magnetos is sim.il.ar- to that of the Bosch Ign type. Technical

Only the ball bearinms and tungsten.~~t-rts must be imported from abroad. These
magnetos may be used for all types of veaicles (trucks, tractors, etc.).
3. As s. result of Soviet orders, Mjl1VA(; 1:) a1: o nanu_'acturin- other auto-electrical parts such as dynamos and the Zerstrrt her (type 35 ) carburetor.
