So we started on 15.08.1974 morning at the company Philips. Then we were also told that Philips in Wetzlar produces top-end car radios and Schnittbandkern- transformers. After the presentation of all trainers and some other people, a group photo was taken with all trainees and the trainers. Then it went straight into a workshop with vices, turning and milling machines and other machines for metal and plastic processing. First, we were given a work coat with the Philips logo (only real with the four stars) and important information about possible dangers when working with metal. e.g. The trainee colleagues with the longer hair had to wear a hairnet when they had to work on the drill press. Then we got a piece of steel and we were shown how a file looks and

Right next to our workshop was a football field, then there was an outdoor pool and in the cafeteria above the canteen were table tennis tables. These were worked together. About once a week they were set up and then some employees played table tennis after work. And under the canteen, in the basement, was a bowling alley. By the way, the employees were able to use the swimming pool for free in the summer with the family on weekends. Also on the football field were games between e.g. Footballers of Leitz and Philips or other teams discharged. In the next six months, we also got to know the electric current and the voltage and the resistance. When you do all three together, something like Ohm's Law comes out. Of these laws and rules, there are more in the business. The dangers of

the electric current were taught to us. In the first year of training, three of us spent a week on educational leave. Back then, it was at company costs in the vicinity of Kassel to Jugendhof Dörnberg. There we did everything for a week except playing with electrics. Another educational leave with trainees from Philips took place about 1 year later in Malente.

After one year the first intermediate examination took place. The apprentices from Philips and Leitz have made common cause. Otherwise we only saw the colleagues from Leitz in the vocational school. Once at the exams either the Leitz trainees came to Philips or the apprentices from Philips went to the Hausertorwerk to Leitz. When the exam was over, it was also in the training a little more electronic. We were also transferred from the training workshop to other departments of the company for 3 months. The departments I was allowed to get to know were the manufacturing, quality control car radio, quality control transformer, metering department and the department where all Philips products were repaired. The spectrum ranged from the steam iron on television to the Ladyshave. We also had a point of sale where Philips products could be bought. Everything that we had learned in the second year of training was asked at the second examination for the communications equipment mechanic. After this test, it was the final spurt. We were allowed to learn a lot and also make mistakes, from which one knows, as everyone knows, the most. After three and a half years, the final exam was in the house. As expected, all have passed and may now call themselves Funkelektronikerin or Funkelektroniker. Now we could actually work normally. But young men now threatened another problem, the Army. Some of them reluctantly went to the German Armed Forces, others did civilian service and I had to be put off for a year to get a baccalaureate. And so I quit after about half a year and made at the FOS (Technical College) in the Werner von Siemens school in Wetzlar my high school diploma. In this one year FOS especially the math was new. Differential calculus and integral calculus and matrix calculus were new at first. We even had religion. And in German we had to write a half-year paper on the subject of "Consumption Terror". Then you see the advertising and the very large range of products with completely different eyes. After the FOS I enrolled at the University of Applied Sciences Gießen for the degree program Electrical Engineering specializing in communications and microprocessor technology. Actually, I should immediately after the FOS report to the mustering authority. But I totally forgot that through all the work. The first three semesters were decidedly theoretical and did not bring any new practical insights to those who had undergone training. The magnetic and electric fields in theory are in my opinion not exactly easy and in the daily work not necessarily required. The last three semesters were also a bit more practical. Then came the thesis. I chose one that interested me the most. She called herself "Designing and Building a Multinormal Black and White Vidikon Camera". The multi-standard refers to different frame rates and different line numbers. And a vidicon is a picture tube with e.g. 1 inch diagonal.

The work was supervised by Prof. G. Schmidt. The image on the page shows the camera in the open state. In order to hide the wild wirred connection from prying eyes an inconspicuous U-shaped aluminum sheet was slipped over the wild wirred connection and screwed. Then it can happen that a nice student colleague sees the thing and thinks, what he would have done in four weeks at the most. I think that everyone has ever stumbled upon this kind of expert. After I had my work in a 20-minute presentation in the NT seminar and the oral exam behind me, the matter was also happily ended. Incidentally, I was never in the Army because I was retired. What do you want to do with someone like me? I had to wear contact lens wearers. And those people did not want them in the Army.

how to operate it. And then for the first half of the year we were busy with filing, sawing, turning, milling, drilling, and so on. Parallel to the work, we also had to keep a report booklet in which the typeface should be a standard font. Of course, there was once a week in the vocational school (Werner von Siemens School). So we did not have any block lessons. The trainees were about half tool makers and the other half radio electronics technicians and a technical draughtswoman. The apprentices, the industrial clerk / woman learned, I have not seen after the group picture. Gradually we got to know the company.
