<p style=”text-align: justify;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Marcellus SC’; font-size: 24px;”>One of the first actions of Braun AG after integrating the Egger Lectron business was to order ( at Deutsche Lectron GmbH München) a new block with a parallel resistor 120 Ω and an electrolytic capacitor 100 µF to save in standard AF amplifier stages up to 4 separate blocks. In the very first advertisements of end of 1967 / spring of 1968 following offer was published in many magazines:</span></p>

<p style=”text-align: justify;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Marcellus SC’; font-size: 24px;”>As a sample, here again (also shown in: Optimizing the L/C circuits) the well known experiment 50 with the standard layout:</span></p>

<p style=”text-align: justify;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Marcellus SC’; font-size: 24px;”>And here with the “compressed” block (this is my extra version with the integrated GND connection – with the #8056 an additional GND block is required) and the #8078 (with emitter on GND):</span></p>

<p style=”text-align: justify;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Marcellus SC’; font-size: 24px;”>But this was not the only “combined” block: in 1973 (?) Inelco Italy needed two special blocks for his Sistema 2000 (based on Buchlabor)  and the extention 2005:</span></p>

<p style=”text-align: justify;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Marcellus SC’; font-size: 24px;”>We will meet this two blocks in my Shortwave Receivers again…</span></p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Marcellus SC’; font-size: 24px;”>Even Mr. Kopperschmidt used to combine several passive components, just to save blocks and keep the needed ground plate requirement as low as possible.</span></p>
