Introduction
Circulars were issued in the early years o f the Variable Star Section by Col. E.E. Markwick (Director 1900-10), but there are no copies of these in the Section’s archives. The present series is numbered from VSS Circular 1 of 1922 March 31, produced by Dr F. de Roy (Director 1922-39). Ten more appeared over the next 13 years, discussing changes in charts and comparison star sequences, Section appoint ments, meetings and various administrative matters. They were printed by letterpress and ranged from one to four sides of octavo.
The VSS Circulars were revived in 1972 May by the writer during a previous incarnation as Director. No 12 comprised ten quarto sides o f which five were (ominously?) devoted to a new project on eclipsing binaries. Until 1982, the Circulars were duplicated from stencils cut on a typewriter, a job Storm Dunlop did from No. 13 o f 1972 July. In 1975 he also took on their distribution, and about five years later, though this was not announced at the time, he became their Editor.
Several improvements in the format of the Circulars were master-minded by Storm. No 53 o f 1983 March/April was the first to appear in the form of an A5 booklet in the now familiar yellow cover. The printing was by offset litho, so that illustrations could now be included more easily. The text was set up using a word processor and die appearance of typescript was finally eliminated with issue 68 of 1989 January, for which the masters were produced on a laser printer. Meanwhile, the Circulars have grown to around 36 inside pages per issue, and have become an important journal of variable-star astronomy.
For many years we have felt the need for an index to VSS Circulars, and Peter Wheeler has now provided one, to which this issue is devoted. We decided not to include Circulars 1 -11, which are only of historical interest I am sure all readers will wish to join me in thanking Peter for this magnificent and valuable work.
