Description: 
This institute conducts extensive research in the fields of radio 
communications and television. It is responsible for the development of 
automatic communications equipment. It has investigated problems in photo-= 
telegraph communications, automatic telephone exchanges, and coaxial cables, 
and has developed many pieces of equipment for communications engineering. 
It developed a radio-relay apparatus for television. One of its principal 
developments has been the R-600 Vesna radio-relay equipment, which makes it 
possible to transmit 600 telephone conversations simultaneously or to trans- 
mit television programs over long distances. Intermediate stations utiliz- 
ing this equipment can forego any operating personnel. Extensive research 
is now being done on color television.
