Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette including a pressure pad which consists of a pad piece and a leaf spring holding the piece in place, characterized in that the leaf spring is formed, in one piece, of a pad-piece-holding portion supporting the back side of said pad piece, two wing portions and Y-shaped portions extending from the upper and lower edge sections of the both ends of said pad-piece-holding portion and joining said both wing portions is provided. The present pressure pad is capable of exerting a uniform pressure to a magnetic tape against a magnetic recording and reproducing head of a magnetic tape cassette recorder when said cassette is put in position of the recorder and the recorder is placed in the recording or reproducing mode.

Abstract: A fixed attenuator for microwave band comprising of a dielectric substrate, with a resistance film and a conductor film attached on said substrate so as to form an attenuation circuit. The substrate further comprises of at least one hole provided through the dielectric substrate. The attenuator is mounted on a metallic board or a printed circuit board by a screw inserted in said hole. Thus, the cooling effect of the resistance film has been improved while keeping the low manufacturing cost and stable structure, by fixing the dielectric substrate on a metallic board by screws inserted in the mentioned holes.

Abstract: A novel ceramic composition exhibiting a solid solution structure of Pb(Fe.sub.2/3 W.sub.1/3)O.sub.3 --Pb(ZrO.sub.3), can be sintered at a low sintering temperature; have a high insulation resistance; have a relatively high dielectric constant in the high dielectric type ceramic dielectrics; have a low dependence of dielectric constant upon temperature, and; have a low dielectric loss.A particular amount of the additives, i.e., MnO, Pb(Mn.sub.1/3 Nb.sub.2/3)O.sub.3, Pb(Mn.sub.1/2 W.sub.1/2)O.sub.3, Pb(Mn.sub.2/3 W.sub.1/3)O.sub.3, Pb(Mn.sub.1/3 Ta.sub.2/3)O.sub.3, Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 and CeO.sub.2, is added into the composition mentioned above.
