New Quarterly and Calander

Away most of the weekend. But managed to get the 10th Quarterly Scanned and published.
Fid ... Thomas Rankin did do #10 but the Editorship is changing on #11.  Stay tuned for fresh information

http://circlekf.com/kflit/KFC_Qtrly.htm

Check out the "Quarterly Features" Link on the page above.

It will become sort of an index to the Quarterlies' Articles. 
Each page is posted as a separate document and Quarterly Features will link you to the first page of each article.
If the article you are researching is multiple pages you may have to change the URL on your address line to goto the next page.
Or just bring up the link to the PDF of the entire quarterly containing the article.

Wow...an NOS 51F grille for $20. At that price, I'll take a dozen! Too bad that's a 1962 price...
Great reading...thanks for posting!

Glad to read that everyone likes the new Quarterly.  I got teased because I had so many stories in there this time!  Mike and Karen did a great job, as they always do!  Bravo!  The new calendar format is fine, particularly if it saves the club some money.  Too bad the Quarterly is not in color!  Wow! 

How about all of you submitting a story or two, with photos, to Mike this year.  He always needs items.  Old KF stories, car shows and cruise-in stories you've attended, restoration projects, break-down stories, local destinations you drove to with your KF, peoples reactions to your car, etc.  It's all good and lets us see what people around the country do with their cars!  And most of all, HAVE FUN!

I hope everyone is keeping up with their daily history lesson and reading assignment.

I am--It was fun reading the speech "roasting" HK and JF.  --The cost of the Frazer is higher because of the expense of using Joe Frazer's family crest--good stuff!

[Logan]

It seems like the old quarterlies were a quite a bit more substantial than the current ones--50 pages long!

[pnw_oldmags]

Some of that is probably the cost of postage and printing today.
I cannot fathom doing these in 1960s without a computer.

As someone who has been there and done that as far as the Quarterly is concerned I can say modern tech sure makes the job easier. One of the goals I had during my editor tenure was to publish only original material as far as possible and that goal was pretty much achieved. The first issues we did were in the days when word processing programs were nothing like today and we had to rely on dot matrix printers etc. How did we get column output for readability? We had to print the left column as a "page" and then roll the paper back and print the right column. Then we would inspect the output and find the columns did not exactly line up so we would have to do the print again and so on. We finally got an ink jet printer that cost a small fortune and we had to buy extra print modules etc for type faces.

Eventually we worked up to page layout and printing software (Pagemaker) and a laser printer. If you look at the issues we produced you can see visually when the changes occurred.

In looking at Jim's scans I noted some cartoons drawn by Jack Edward who had a go as editor. I have some of these original drawings that were in a bunch of paper stuff I bought from Jack years ago when he was forced by circumstances to dispose of his KF stuff.

Been there ... What an understatment.  As I count it Ben you edited and published 45 Quarterlies. 
If I stay on the path I am on of scanning and posting them oldest first,
It will be awhile before I get to yours. 
I think there are 75 more to scan before your record run kicks in.

I would like to issue a Big Heart felt thank you Ben for your years of Quarterly Editing.

The massive amounts of K-F information you shared is appreciated.

Jim
