Subject: Inspection of the GM-1 installation in Fw 190 A-8

1) A GM-1 system in fuselage and engine of Nr. 1581 installed similar to Fw 190 V 47 was inspected by the attendees.  The requirements laid down by test center Rechlin in the memo of 16.2.1944 and the amendment of 23.2.1944 during the inspection of the prototype installation in V 47 are met. Opposed to that the pressure gauge has been omitted (protocol Nr. 4 of travel staff for desophistication of 3.4.1944).
 
The following points were discussed in todays inspection:

At the same time the company AGO will add two removable hand sized access holes in the upper fuselage cover, starting with the next contract.
c. Insulation of the connections which are unaccessible behind frame 1, will not be insulated. In front of frame 1 all connections points are to be insulated.
d. Prior to the installation of the tank the oxygen bottles have to be removed. Starting with the new contract AGO will install the 3 oxygen bottles on the cover in the lower fuselage shell in the same was as it is done with the Ta 152.
e. The DKP 2 has to be used as the switch in the left instrument panel.
f. The continuity switch as demanded by the test center has been installed on the throttle lever using the end moment switch 19-3830 B and is alright. FW will clarify availability.
g. The enrichement help 9-0-447 as developed by BMW touches the Kommandogerät oil return line. The mount for this line has to be lenghtened by 10 mm. BMW will do this.

4. The approval and test specification for the GM-1 system in Fw 190 A-8 was discussed and signed by the attending parties.
