1. In June 1954,carrier frequency equipment, types TFcl, TFc2, TFc3 and TFc4,
were developed. The equipment was for the East German KVP, as well as for
export to the USSR, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia.
2. In addition to this carrier frequency equiprent, equipment for guided missiles
(ferngelenkte Geschosse), type designation A 1, were also produced. This
latter equipment included a frame with curve potentiometers (Kurven-
potentiometer). 't'hese potentiometers cause the even adjustment of the angles
of elevation and deflection. In combination with photographic equipment
(Bildwerkgeraet), developed by Karl Zeiss, Jena, the terrain is transcribed
on a photoelectric cell and, by means of a television receiver, is visible
at the operating station. The main assembly chassis of the complete
installation is produced by VEB Niaschinen- and Apparatebau Schkeuditz and
the Zahnradgetriebewerk, Leipzig 0 5, Torgauerstrasse 74 (formerly the
Koehlmannwerke). 2,000 to 3,000 gears, universal joints, and differential
gears of the Studebaker type are produced at the Torgauerstrasse plant.
