1 , On 11 September 1952, an traidentified representative of the Btiro ftir
r, ssen^is" a tiichc ^rsc!~1. n ; Berlin, called on Carl Zeiss, Jena, to
Inquire whether an aparatus for the measurement of light ref! cted
from l,. rge bodies of , ater could be constructed.: The visitor did no
elaborate on the c"i.ce he represented but said that it has beer' acting
on behalf of the Fussian AcaderV of ,sciences in 11,,oscow and that the
request for the apparatus emanated from the ~cader.yr.
2, The device is a sp, ctro ;raph or a combination of spectror.raphs for
measurement of the inter.sityr of light reflected from bodies of water
within the wave length interval of from 0 ~ 3 to .1- 2 mu, i easurement is
to be made from an 4irplane flyrinp, et. various .'altitudes, It ;as
expiained to the visitor, fro did not seem to be a technician but
rather a businessman, that Zeiss does not have a universal sj,eectro;raph
for the simultaneous measurement of ultra violet., visible and infr:-
red light; Zeiss spectrographs cover only two of the ranges, for example
the Zeiss ultra--violet spectrograph covering a range from 0.28 to 0,58
mu, The visitor requested Zeiss to develop the instrument; he added
that, if necessary, a few million marks would be put at eiss' dis osal.,
Leiss will give a definite answer after the firm has received a written
request containing the necessary specifications from th-, Bilro . The
.visitor said that this request will be sent shortly,
3, The Bfro representative said his d'fice at the end of 1951 had handled
an order from the Russian Academy for the delivery of an a.njarutus to
measure the spocd of flo?..1 of water under a pressure equivalent to a
depth of 49000 meters,
