EDITORIAL

Further to last month's editorial, the progress of the radio trade is not very rapid in regard to peak production of new components. Apart from one or two real battlers, the rest seem to be happy enough to jog along with their old-style components, and with a comparatively limited production rate of even those. There are so many obstacles to the production of new lines; so many hurdles to be overcome in order to obtain big quantities of raw materials and so little encouragement (from an income tax point of view) that it is not surprising that we find considerable difficulty in getting bright articles to fill our issues. We had a big stunt lined up for this month's issue, but production difficulties held it up at the last minute. Fortunately, however, another interesting receiver turned up on time and so we are able to have a main feature article well up to standard. With regard to the support, too, we managed to find a way out of the difficulty which seems to have proved a lot better than we first expected. This takes the form of a trip into the past; a review of some of the articles which were published in Volume No. 1 in 1936 and 1937. These circuits were all popular in their time, proved themselves capable of giving splendid results and are just as useful today as when they were first published. Since our circulation figures are four times greater today than they were when these circuits were published it is certain that they will be new to many of our present readers, and even to our long-time supporters they should not lack interest. - YOUR EDITOR.
