EDITORIAL
BIG moves are on foot for the future improvement of our little publication, but the first steps have further increased our production difficulties so that it has been found necessary to "skip" an issue by making this a combined one to cover both months of July and August. The next issue will be the September issue and will be out in about four weeks time, well ahead of its publication date. Expiry dates on our subscription lists will be extended by one month accordingly. Main reason for the production delay has been the digging of an excavation in the floor of our local printing works, into which is being installed one of the finest and fastest automatic printing machines in the world. Just landed from Sweden, at a cost of about £9,000, this machine will turn out a much better Radio World at a cheaper cost and in much quicker time. It may take a month or two to get everything in place and running sweetly. In the meantime there may be a certain amount of tripping over cement bags and the like, but the prospects for the future are mighty bright. For many months past our big problem has been on the actual production side, so that we have not been in a position to go into ideas for improvements to the editorial side. Now that the production problems are in hand, our thoughts again turn to executive and editorial matters. Suggestions from readers as to what they would like to see in our columns are again invited. — A. G. HULL.
