A calculation of pararmeters, method of manufacturing procedure and results of testing are described for the Wolter 1 X-ray mirror system. It consists of 2 nested pairs of mirrors: the outer pair has input diameter 24 cm and nickel coating, the inner pair - 13 cm and gold coating. The focal distance is 41,9 cm, the length of each paraboloid and hyperboloid - 24 cm. Geometrical parameters of the mirrors were chosen to obtain maximum effective area under the limits for overall dimensions.The mirrors were manufactured in the Astronomical Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences
jointly with some other Czechoslovak institutes. The mirrors were made as galvanic replicas with metallic reflecting surface and plastic base. The system was intended for use in the X-ray telescope RT-4M, developed in the P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R.
Blaženka Despot (1930–2001) was a Yugoslav philosopher who applied a critical reading of Marxism to the philosophy of technology and, after the mid-1970s, proposed a form of Marxist feminism that took into account the context of Yugoslav self-managing socialism. In the short text “Women and Self-Management,” Despot summarises the ideas she developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, especially her Marxist-feminist critiques of socialist women’s emancipation in Yugoslavia. She calls for re-focusing on women and revisiting Marx’s concept of nature through a reading of Hegel. While doing so, she raises the issue of violence against women as a key matter of women’s equality. Zsófi a Lóránd, in her introduction, discusses the text in light of Despot’s broader oeuvre and in light of the history of feminism in Yugoslavia.
