Theatre Design & Technology - Spring 1975 - 5

EDITORIAL & NEWS
EDITORIAL - - - - - - - - With this issue Theatre Design And Technology
makes a change in its publication dates. This issue is
dated Spring 1975 and subsequent numbers published this year and in future will carry a seasonal,
rather than monthly, designation. Th is change has
been made to spread publication more equally
throughout the year. There are several benefits in
this for you, the reader, our advertisers and the
Ed itorial staff.
In the next issue (Summer), we shall publish an
article by Jarka Burian on Czech Theatre and its
designers prior to 1939. Currently conducting research in Prague, Mr. Burian is the author of The
Scenography of Josef Svoboda published by Wesleyan University Press who have recently reissued
the book in a handsome paperbound edition. He has
also written an extensive article on Svoboda's
American University tour in the fall of 1972 (T D & T,
May, 1973, No. 33) in addition to articles on other
facets of the theatre in Czechoslavakia.
The Summer issue will also carry coverage of the
annual USITT conference held recently in Anaheim,
California and hosted by the Southern California
Section of the Institute. It is hoped that several of the
papers delivered at the Conference can be readied
for publication in the next issue.

As the quality and content have improved,
inevitably production and mailing costs have increased to the extent that TABS must ask its readers
to pay an annual subscription charge of $3 for the
Spring, Summer, and Autumn issues in 1975, to help
defray the costs.

NOISE, SHOCK, AND VIBRATION CONTROL
TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATION GUIDE
FEATURED IN NEW BROCHURE

In spite of economic trends our advertising is
beginning to show an increase! We are grateful for
the efforts of readers who have hel ped to generate
new advertising and strongly urge other members of
the Institute to assist in this vital task. Remind your
theatrical suppliers that taking an ad(s) in the
Journal helps them and us!

A new eight-page, illustrated brochure on noise,
shock, and vibration control systems for industrial
and commercial applications is available from Consolidated Kinetics Corporation. The brochure includes detailed technical discussions of the four
methods of controlling air- and structure-borne noise,
and the proper use of Kinetics' complete line of
isolation, barrier, damping, and absorption noisecontrol materials and systems.

Supplementing the technical discussions is a
convenient application guide showing recommended
noise-treatment methods for 32 representative types
of equipment, including punch presses, grinders,
conveyors, generators, machine tools, piping, ducts,
pumps, air compressors, fans and blowers, precision
instruments, and equipment housing.

INEXPENSIVE SUBSCRIPTION FOR TABS
Over the years, TABS has become the English
language magazine on world-wide theatre, where it
has had a positive influence on much of today's
philosophy, architecture, and technology.
The recent change in format to a larger page size,
more color, and a greater coverage of what is
happening inside theatres around the world, has
resulted in a substantially larger international mailing list.
