gave a survey of 1952 development at the plant to Zeiss department chiefs,,
He stated that the 1952 plan from 1 January through 30 September 1952 had
been fulfilled by 10733 percent: October production was slightly below
the quote with a fulfillment of 993 percent,
2,, Schrade continued that producton is seriously hampered by shortages
of critical materials? The most serious shortages are those of cast
light metal, light metal sheet and steel, Schott and Genossen, Jenab
has been unable to provide glass in sufficient quantities. Anot`.er factor
in the shortage of glass is that many skilled glass workers have fled
to west Germany,

isfeld will. start to operate in early 1953. These are in addition to
the plantain Dresden-Reick which is now in operation,
