Soviets discover plugs

[alex fraser]

The very term shteker, or plug connector, made its way into the Russian
language from the Germans after the war. Throughout history much has been
transferred to the victors from the vanquished. Only after the war did we
come to appreciate what a tremendous technical role such a seemingly simple
device as the plug and socket connector was destined to play in aircraft
and rocket technology!
The Germans spent years developing reliable connectors, and introduced into
aircraft and rocket technology the standard List shteker, which had from
two to thirty pins.We needed three years to reproduce connectors that were
as reliable.
However, during our first years of mastering rocket technology they gave us
a lot of trouble.
