Radio Times, November 3, 1950 Radio Times {Incorporating World-Radio} November 3, 1950 yol: 109, No. 1408. Registered at the G.P.O. as a Newspaper SOUND AND TELEVISION JOURNAL OF THE BBC PR ICE TWOPENCE NINE D'A'YS' PRO:G-RA,MMES FRIpAY, November 3 to SATURDAY, November 11 RADIO TIMES is back again-and the many kind and many irate letters that have been reaching us fr.om listeners indi~ate that its return will be a joy.ous .occasi.on. THIS WEE~ . As listeners will have read in the newspapers, the printing .offices in L.ond.on resumed w.ork .on Wednesday, and f.or the sec.ond time in tw.o m.onths BBC Publicati.ons has had _t.o pr.oduce 8,000,000 c.opies -.of RADIO TIMES and within tw.o days print and dispatch them t.o __ 40,000 newsagents in every c.orner -.of the United Kingdom. It was necessary t.o keep the' size .of this special number d.own t.o twenty pages and t.o pr.oduce .one editi.on . c.overing the wh.ole c.ountry. NATIONAL EDITIONS We realise that this single, nati.onal editi.on d.oes cause inc.onvenience t.o many .of .our regi.onal listeners. There is n.o need f.or c.onfusi.on; each Regi.onal H.ome Service is, very· simply, a variati.on .of the L.ond.on H.ome ServiGe and listeners will find their regi.on's daily pr.ogrammes and times under the heading 'Regi.onal H.ome Services' .on each H.ome Service page. F.or the rest .of the day the regi.on broadcasts the -L.ond.on H.ome Service. ABOUT OURSELVES RADIO TIMES has the largest circulation of any weekly periodical in the world. It normally appears in eight editions and takes nearly a whole week to compile and as long again to print and distribute. It is printed in a special factory built for the purpose in London. The BBC does not print RADIO TIMES; it is printed under Contract by Messrs.Waterlow and Sons, Ltd., who, in common with the big printing and publishing houses in London, ar.e members of the London Master Printers' Association. The recent dispute in the printing industry developed in May of this year between the London _ Master Printers and the London Society of Compositors and came to a head in September, when works were closed for a 'fortnight and listeners had to miss RADIO TiMES for one week. Th~e was a temporary easing of the situation and four more issues appeared, after which work again stopped at the factories and RADIO TIMES again ceased publication. During the last three weeks many listeners have written chiding us for not having produced RADIO TI.MES elsewhere in the United Kingdom or in Europe; some have asked why we had not produced it in a typewritten-printed form in which some other publications appeared, and even why we had not the energy and foresight to produce it on duplicating machines. As we said earlier, the BBC is not a firm of printers and the dispute was outside our control, but we assure listeners that every effort was made _to continue the regular publication of the journal. The prolblem was simply one of­ priDJting 8,000,000 copies each we~k. Despite all efforts this did not prove possible 6y alternative methods. -. We are sorry that millions of listeriers were deprived of their RADIO TIMES for three consecutive weeks, but we have every reason to believe and hope that the issues which caused the Ciisputehave now been settled to the satisfaction of both sides.

This water clock was five holes in sticks and bones. Scientists believe that they were stories tall and had a very large water wheel. possibly counting the days between the phases of the moon. The first known mechanical clock invented was in the 13th century very similar to the water clock but used mercury and it controlled the drum at a more constant rate. Galileo Galilei was the first to study the pendulum and Christiaan Huygens used his work to create the first clock using a pendulum. Over time they found that the longer the pendulum, the more accurate the time, so that is why pendulum clocks are a tall rectangular shape.

As a result, our March meeting was cancelled. So that you don’t miss out Richard has kindly written an article on the subject we missed. Please also take note of the information he has produced regarding the virus. However, we did hold a committee meeting and it was decided that we should also cancel our next meeting scheduled for April 21st. It is also likely that our May 19th meeting will go the same way. We have also heard that all the IWM museums have been closed until further notice. As a result, our scheduled Duxford outing of May 22nd will unfortunately, NOT now go ahead. All this means that we may be unlikely to be able to reconvene until at least our June meeting. This will be kept under review by our Social committee who will continue to meet on a regular basis. We will keep you all updated with any changes as they affect us. Additionally, we shall keep you posted by way of a monthly newsletter, rather than two monthly as is usual. Any future events may well be subject to other restrictions which are out of our control. We are however, intending to continue to make the arrangements for all the future events as per our calendar, of which you will all have a copy.
