EDITORIAL

Whether the war is over or not seems to be a matter of legislation, but so far as "Radio World" is concerned we are a long way from being back to where we started. Owing to a chain of unavoidable circumstances we find that the only roof under which the "Radio World" typewriter can find shelter is located in Melbourne, whilst the printing press is still in Sydney. To obtain office or personal accommodation in Sydney seems to be well beyond the limit of possibility at the moment and so we are making the best of things as cheerfully as possible. As is often the case, when you have high expectations you may feel disappointment more acutely. Conversely, when you are not over-expecting you can be happily surprised. So it happens in this case. We conjured up many visions of the problems which would arise with such an arrangement, but now that we are settling down to it there appears much to be happy about. The Melbourne radio trade is giving splendid co-operation and as a result our readers can look forward to many new components designed especially to suit their requirements and embodying new lines of thought. The Sydney trade has its own particular problems, but is also concentrating on new products to suit the changing times. We are in a handy position to co-operate with both sources of supply and so we should be able to give our readers far more interesting articles than if we were only associating with the Sydney trade.
