Didactica

Didactica (Întreprinderea „Didactica”) was a Bucharest enterprise that made teaching equipment for schools, including electrical instruments for physics laboratories. This page is based on its own instruction booklets.

Products

The back cover of one of its booklets lists the enterprise’s new products for 1973: a universal measuring instrument, a physics experiment kit for general schools, a physical and geometrical optics kit, laboratory tables for physics, chemistry and biology, a set of transparencies for overhead projectors, biology and geology teaching materials, maps of Romania and educational games [1].

Among the electrical instruments documented by its booklets are a three-decade resistance box [1], a multiammeter (multiampermetru, 1978) [2] and a power supply unit (alimentator de electricitate, 1980) [3]. The booklets carry a logo formed by a capital letter D with laboratory apparatus drawn inside it [2][3].

Address

The 1973 list gives the address 10 Fabricii Street, Sector 7, Bucharest [1]. The booklets of 1978 and 1980 give 46 Fabricii Street, in Sector 7 and Sector 6 respectively, with the telephone number 31.60.44 [2][3].

Its neighbour at 47 Fabricii Street was IAUC, the Enterprise for Research Apparatus and Equipment, which in 1985 issued instructions for a multiammeter under the same title as Didactica’s 1978 booklet [4].
