up pages to produce the required layout wi th text , graphs and photos in place. Many is the time the
carefully stuck down galleys would have to be peeled off, and a single, sticky, curled up line of text cut off from the bottom of one column and moved to the top of the next one, with subsequent rearrangement of all the elements, to balance an article on the final page. These make-up sheets would then be sent back to the printer. This was often by British Rail’s Red Star parcel service which required a trip to the nearest train station, 10 miles away at Chesterfield (Howard believed changing printers was “like changing wives, not something to be undertaken lightly”, so the Reading-based company he had used when the business was founded in Berkshire survived the subsequent move back ‘home’ to the North). The next stage in the production process was for the printer to
reproduce our make-up sheets while very precisely aligning all the elements. They did this (and I promise this is true) using molten wax! – this being an adhesive which allowed them to ensure everything was straight and square on the page before it set. These pages would then be photographed and the negative would be used to produce printing plates (one for a black only section, two if there was a spot colour, and
four if the eight page section was to include full colour). These days, with the ability to manipulate text and graphics on screen to the nth degree, the whole layout process is a lot quicker, more straightforward – and considerably less sticky! Fundamentally, though, the end product remains the same. Many
people, the majority in fact, still prefer the look and feel of a printed magazine and find it a more comfortable medium to read than on-screen. Others prefer the convenience and immediacy of digital content. After 40 years (and believe it or not, we do have readers who have taken every copy ever produced) the printed magazines start to take up quite a bit of shelf space - electronic versions are easier to store and search. However much technology changes, though, it is the quality of the information provided which is key. It has to interest, inform and/or entertain the reader. The magazine has evolved in many ways. The regular weekly
e-letter provides a quick fire overview of news and comment. The now bi-monthly magazine is available both in traditional printed form and electronically. With the appointment of Ryan to the role of editorial/ administrative assistant over two years ago, the business entered another stage in its evolution. Today, Ryan is taking on more and more of the day-to-day tasks and has received plaudits from senior members of the trade both for the quality of his writing and his communication skills. We are very proud to announce that, from this fortieth anniversary issue, he has been promoted to the position of Assistant Editor. Jane is, and Howard would have been, delighted to see their little
venture surviving and prospering and continuing with the third generation of the family to have been involved.
