PAPERmaking! FROM THE PUBLISHERS OF PAPER TECHNOLOGY Volume 6, Number 2, 2020
Things were actually quite dire at the time. Indeed, they got so bad that in 1984 two editions of the journal (No.3 and No.4) were never issued. Don Attwood, of PIRA, (Figure 9) took over editorship of the magazine from issue No.5 in 1984, replacing R. Maxwell Fendt who transferred over to ‘advertisement editor’ ; but Don was a very busy man, and this was certainly not part of his ‘day job’, so a search was initiated for a safe pair of hands which resulted in the appointment of Margaret Marley (Figure 10), who became editor from early 1986 (Figure 11). Move on three more years, and the name of the magazine was again returned to Paper Technology from the February 1989 issue.
