od and the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium were West Germany' largest export markets. Research and development The West German gear industry is believed to be one of the world' leaders in gear research and development (&) expenditures. West German companies spend approximately 4 percent of revenues on &, the bulk of which is for proprietary research conducted primarily in-house. Some proprietary research and much of the common research is conducted at the Gear Research Institute (FZG) 1 of the Technical University of Munich and, to lesser extent, at the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Industrial Management 1 Forschungsstelle fur Zahnrader und Getriebebau. 5-4 Table 6-3 Gears and gearing: West German production, exports, Imports, and apparent consumption, 1-8 Year Shipments Exports Apparent Imports consumption Ratio (percent) of Imports to consumption Value (million dollars) 1 2.3.7 9.6 2.3 1,5.4 1.8 1 2,6.7 1,1.9 2.7 1,7.5 1.8 1 3,7.7 1,5.6 4.4 2,6.4 1.2 1 4,3.3 1,9.8 4.2 2,9.8 1.1 1 4,7.8 2,1.7 5.7 3,1.8 1.5 Value (million Deutsche marks) 1 6,5.1 2,7.0 7.4 4,5.5 1.8 1 7,7.0 3,2.5 8.2 5,2.7 1.8 1 8,2.8 3,4.2 9.9 5,7.4 1.2 1 7,8.4 3,4.6 8.8 5,2.6 1.1 1 8,4.4 3,7.4 9.2 5,5.2 1.5 Source: Estimated by the staff of the ..
