Editorial

We would not like to suggest that any of our readers could be unreasonable, but it is very apparent that a few of them are inclined to be completely carried away by their enthusiasm. They seem to get so carried away, in fact, that they completely overlook the problems of the times and expect to find that "Radio World" has an unlimited staff of technicians with plenty of time to spare to go into the most elaborate details of component design in order to maintain the queries service. Now, in case you are not aware, practically every radio magazine in the world has been forced to abandon its query service; we have stuck to ours so far in the hope that what little time we can afford will be duly appreciated. There are one or two points we would like to suggest, as they will make it possible for us to give better results for the time made available. Firstly, please write plainly, on one side of the paper, as briefly as possible, yet giving all the necessary facts, and attaching diagrams on a separate sheet of paper, so that they can be studied at the same time as the letter itself. Try and put yourself in our position and remember that the amount of time devoted to each query cannot possibly exceed ten minutes. Therefore it is quite useless to expect to have special power or output transformers designed to order. It is equally useless to ask to have a special set designed to use the junk or odd valves which you have on hand. - A. G. HULL.
