[Bell Historians] Digest Number 1259

[John H Allen]

Andrew,

I have all my ringing diaries back to 1956! The first RW Diary was 1988!

I guess that the original text etc. was set in metal type and also used
etched plates. We have moved on since then and I am sure that computer
typesetting and scanning would not be that expensive, particularly as
printers will now accept camera ready copy or even a file on Word or
Publisher etc.

The time to start on 2007 is now and not next summer.

John

I aquired the Diary for RW from Bill Viggars in 1970??? something. ANS took

over responsibility for its production as he had no other specific 
responsibility on the Board at that time. When he became Chairman he held on

to it.

Change has had to be gradual as the cost of re type-setting any of the pages

was quite expensive and could soon do damage to the annual economics. 
Re-setting might be cheaper nowadays?

With a distribution of 6-7000 per annum it is the best selling of any 
ringing product by a long way so it must be dong something right!

Andrew

For some unaccountable reason, I referred in the column to 'Tony
Lewis' instead of 'Tony Smith'. Apologies.
