EDITORIAL

Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis. (The times are changed, and we are changed with them.) I can remember the days when the Ford car sold for £199/10/-. To-day the price is about £950. You will notice 1/6 on our front cover in place of the 1/- which has been there for the past thirteen years. I have battled hard to avoid the increase, but find that it is unavoidable. Strangely enough, the reason for the increase is the popularity of recent issues. Printing and production costs having risen a couple of hundred per cent., they finally reached the stage where the nett return from the sale of an issue was considerably less than its cost! Advertising revenue offset this to a certain extent, but not enough. The alternative was to give smaller issues with cheaper paper, as mentioned in last month's editorial, but the response to that editorial was emphatically the other way. Readers asked for better issues and cleaner paper for the better reproduction of intricate circuits, and were willing to pay the price. So, here is a better-style issue. I now have incentive to make it popular; will be able to hold my head up again and take pride in the job. I am sure you are going to find the issues well worth their price. — A. G. HULL.
