Editorial

Owing to difficult trading conditions - most radio lines being easier to sell than to buy - there is a falling off in advertising, thus allowing more space to be devoted to reading matter. Scarcity of paper, however, tends to offset this gain, and so we find ourselves this month with an issue which contains only a small number of pages, a few scattered advertisements, but a full complement of technical matter which will give some idea of the way in which "Australasian Radio World" will face up to changed conditions. Space being so much at a premium, we are unable to go over the fundamentals thoroughly in each issue, but we do keep a stock of back numbers so that these may be referred to for such matters. We find that these back numbers are in keen demand, and the success of our recent special offer of a set of a dozen for 5/- prompts us to make another special offer. This time we are prepared to supply, post free, a complete set of the 1941 issues to every reader taking out a subscription for 1942. Only a limited number of sets are available and so an early application is essential.
