Description: 
VNIIFTRI hes developed equipment such as an electrodynamic ammeter 
for use at frequencies up to 300 Mc/s, a hydrophone calibrator, a synchro- 
scope, a frame field-strength-meter calibrator, a cylindrical volume- 
resonator device, a bellows-type regulation pressure valve, an astronomical 
pendulum clock, a monofrequency oscillation system, and a sound-absorbing 
coating of glass fiber for anechoic chambers. 
Thermodynamic studies have considered the energy-absorption 
mechanism in anisotropic bodies; specific heats of lithium hydride, lead
