EDITORIAL & NEWS
EDITORIAL--------The summer is past and a new season waits just offstage. Many newsworthy items have passed over the desk
since the May issue. So, we shall devote th is page to as
many as we can fit in and save the Editorializing for subsequent issues. We have received a number of interesting
new titles since a list of available books was last included
in the Book Review section. Space lim itations prevent
them from appearing this month. Any reader interested
in writing book reviews is invited to send for a copy of the
list. Address your request to the Editor, c/o the Editorial
Office (address on the Masthead).

Availability of an even broader and more highly sophisticated line of Century Strand lighting equipment, and
more direct access to the world-renowned Rank Organ isation research and development facilities, are among the
immediate benefits of a corporate realignment announced
by Philip Rose, president of Century Strand Inc.
The organizational realignment will serve to bring
Century Strand and sister com pan ies in Canada, Germany,
Hong Kong and Australia closer to the parent group,
Rank-Strand Electric. British-based, it has long been
known as an innovator in theatre, television/motion picture, photographic and architectural lighting. The highly
popular Century Strand products will now also be more
readily available to the international market.
Another aspect of the realignment is the organization
of a new marketing and distribution subsidiary, Strand
Century Inc. Headquarters and warehouse facilities for
expanded stocks of the entire product line have been
established at Elmwood Park, N. J.
As a final note, we wish our president, Richard Arnold,
success in his new position. Dick has succeeded Ned Bowman who resigned during the summer to accept a year's
sabbatical leave in Mexico.

In this era of ever-increasing costs, we are pleased to
direct your attention to some free items. The New Products (formerly Recent Developments) Section this month
contains information on several catalogs and bulletins related to fire prevention and safety. With the stringent new
regu lations called for in the Occupational Safety and
Health Act, these publications should be of considerable
interest. iviention TD& T when you write for them!
The publishing-printing Gremlin got to us as the May
issue went to press. P. 45 contains a pristine blank space
labeled "Lounge Photo." We proudly present the illustration here. It isa photo of the Theatre Lounge (Tula, USSR,
Dramatic Theatre). Feel free to cut it from th is issue and
paste into your copy of TD& T, # 33, May, 1973.
