PERSONAL . . .

Here is the important announcement which I have been leading up to for some issues past. As and from 1st December, "The Australasian Radio World" will be taken over and published by a new Company. As I mentioned in a recent editorial, the publishing of Radio World has been a bit too much of a job for a one-man business, and I have long felt that I was not doing full justice to the wide circle of keen enthusiasts who have supported me. The new Company will have it’s headquarters in Sydney, with Mr. Lay. W. Cranch, A.M.I.R.E., M.W.I.A., as Managing Editor, well known as one of Australia's leading Radio Engineers. With their greater facilities, including overseas tie-ups, the new Company will enable the production of bigger and brighter issues with a much wider appeal. It is planned that the whole production will be more of a team job than it has been in the past, plus closer contact with the radio trade in the various capitals, so that every new development will be covered in detail as soon as it reaches the market. The old features, will, to a large extent be retained, and many new ones added, including television, which will be given greater attention, especially the practical side, thus paving the way for the time when a thorough knowledge of this subject will be highly desirable. Please note the change of address — Room 302, 17 Bond St., Sydney. This is not exactly a farewell, as I hope to continue, one way or another, a close association with the new Company. — A. G. HULL
