A couple of years ago we ran a Special Data and Handbook Issue, complete with Buyers’ Guide. This issue proved an outstanding success, as is often brought home to us by the blank space on the back numbers' shelves. The compilation of such issues, however, calls for so much extra effort, so many more hours of time, that we haven’t been able to get around to tackling another. As most readers understand, we have a heck of a job to get even ordinary issues out on time. Things may be better in the near future, however, so here is a preliminary announcement of another special issue and with it an appeal for your co-operation............. Dealing first with the subject of data. How about dropping us a line if there is anything special you would like to see? Last time we ran the morse code, the international prefixes, the Q code, the broadcast station wavelengths, valve socket connections, circuit symbols, resistor colour codes, coil colour codes, and the frequency allocations. Can you suggest any more? Then there is a big series of constructional articles set down for future issues; quite a technical development programme, in fact. We know to start with a five-valve general purpose set, then a four-valve midget, but what next? Have you any ideas for the plan? What type of circuits seem to have been neglected lately? How many people would build a high-fidelity F.M. set on the off chance that the experimental F.M. transmissions are to become permanent? In fact, any suggestions you care to make will be doubly welcome at the moment, as big plans are being laid for the future. — A. G. HULL
