PERSONAL

Rapidly drawing to a close, the year 1940 has been full of interest to me. Cutting adrift from the "old firm" after ten years, it was a big step to take over the "World," especially in such troublous times. Fortunately, the venture has been a grand success, and with the valuable assistance of Earl Read, have been able to make a lot of progress. With the New Year looming up, however, thoughts turn to New Year resolutions. To stand still is to go backwards, and so we have in mind several ideas which we expect to improve the style of the paper. Maybe a few of these will share the usual fate of New Year resolutions, but let us hope that some of them will be found practical. Day by day, it seems to be indicated more clearly that deeper and deeper technical articles will be required to satisfy the demand from radio engineers, servicemen and enthusiasts who are all progressing at a fast rate. A couple of years ago, our readers were interested in articles on how to use a multi-meter, then they became interested in using oscillators, then valve and circuit testers. It looks as though, in the New Year, they will be interested in cathode ray oscilloscopes, having already obtained and mastered the simpler test equipment. Advertising is likely to follow a similar trend, as most of our readers already possess the simpler types of receivers and test equipment. They are now interested in more advanced circuit designs and in more advanced test equipment. We feel that, in this progress, we must set the pace, and so that is one of our modest (?) New Year resolutions. Another resolution is to go into the matter of posting out all copies in flat envelopes instead of rolling or folding. We know that it is much nicer to open up a magazine after it has been posted flat, and the only real drawback to the scheme is the cost of the necessary envelopes. As is to be expected in the highly specialised field we cover, our direct subscribers are a big proportion of our total circulation and the bill for the envelopes, even at less than a half-penny each, would be quite beyond us. It seems, therefore, that an extra charge of 6d. per annum will be necessary for this special posting service. A. G. HULL.
