The Structural Engineer, Volume 56, Issue 6, 1978
We regret that despite the tremendous efforts of the Institution staff the issues of The Structural Engineer in the early months of this year were issued late. No fault of theirs; in the new regime copy has to be prepared some three months before publication and this requirement has been consistently bettered by them. However, in drawing your attention to this fact our object is to explain why there is a considerable gap in the time between the date on which you write a letter and that on which you may see it in print. That is why Mr. W. Madeley's comments on the first issue of the new format of the journal is being read by you so late as June. In October 7977 he wrote somewhat critically of the contents of the Journal as did several others over the course of that year, but he now expresses appreciation: 0 welcome journal, thinner now: Your contents suit my lower brow: The articles are much more plain; The envelope I'll use again.

Mr. D. E. Roe: The first problem that had to be solved was the erection of the riser pipes within the two columns. Fig 14 of the paper shows the congestion that there was in the columns, and this was made worse when the pipework was installed because of the amount of scaffolding inside the columns. A novel method was devised to overcome the lack of working space and to enable the pipework to be completed as soon as possible after slipforming the columns.
