EDITORIAL

AT this time of the year it is customary to look back over the past, then turn to the future. Looking back: My first duty is to express my sincere appreciation for the loyal support which I have received from buyers and subscribers. Production problems have meant that many issues have not been as good as I would have liked them; increased production costs have made an increase in price inevitable. Yet I am happy to note that sales today are higher than ever before in the long history of the publication. The advertising position is not so happy. The manufacturers of component parts have their problems, and many of them are not able to support technical journals in the manner they deserve. The future looks much brighter. Once clear of the holiday season, we expect to be able to get bigger and better issues out on time. For editorial matter the outlook is also brighter, as quite a few firms have mentioned to us that they intend to release new lines in the near future. One of the first is a new "Aegis" kit-set job for a four-valve mantel model, to use the latest high-gain valves. Next is a set to use a most compact dual-wave coil bracket which has been designed by the "Q-Plus" engineers. All we need is a little more revenue from advertising, and we will be able to turn out much better issues for 1950. A. G. Hull
