Editorial

Consideration of the scope of the items in the PGA Briefs section of this issue should prove impressive not only because of the diversity of organizational activity in the audio field, but because of the comprehensive publication effort to provide thousands of engineers and scientists, in various organizations both here and abroad, with the information required for advancemenotf audio engineering and technology. This issue starts the third official volume of regularly scheduled IRE-PGA publication. The majority of the papers published so far have been written by people with considerable previous experience as technical authors. Yet quite a few papers of technical competence, even excellence, have been contributed by younger authors. The new awards system soon to be inaugurated will provide additional recognition and awards for outstanding authors in each of these categories.
