Overhead film presentation

1997-01-20As usual Hans brings two binders with overhead films. The lectures are based on presentation on an overhead projector.

The training consists of:

3.5 day System function and dimensioning
1 day Configuration and operation software
1 day Operation and maintenance

The normal 2 days of System Functioning theory took 3.5 days mainly because a translator (from English to German) was used (Wolfram H and Anton Z). Translation was essential.

Lecture room

The class consists of 15 students from Post & Telekom Austria.

Course hours are 9:00–16:00 with 60 minutes lunch break.

Hans brought the system manual and overhead films are in German language. The local company representatives made copies of these during Monday morning.
