e. Results of tests (resistance, at cetera).
f. Mode of employment.

USSR specifications. The various Stas.- ar6 checked and approved by approp-
riate technical sections:
a. A mechanical and electrical section.
b. A chemical section, responsible for all kinds of petroleum products.
c. A building and paper section.
d. Secret Stas handled by the military section are registered by CSS but
do "not pass through their control". No details of specifications
handled by this section are retained by CSS.
