Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / Military equipment
Russian term or phrase: ТАТ-8
This appears in a list of Инженерное имущество being sent to N. Korea by the USSR in 1949.
The quantity is 100 т. штук, so it's apparently not telephone equipment (the only other possible expansion I found for ТАТ), especially since there's a separate Имущество связи listing
