sponsored Optical Fabrication and Testing Workshops. It is the intent of the Workshops to communicate technology and practice in the fields of optical manufacture and testing to opticians and optical engineers. Those attending the Workshops generally agree that the periodic meetings are fulfilling these goals; however, the audience that can be reached is small, perhaps 1200 people once a year. By publishing in Applied Optics a fabrication-and-test-oriented column, a far larger audience can be reached twelve times a year. This column is intended to be a means of timely exchange of specific tips or recipes to make the life of the optician or technician easier and more fruitful. Reports of experiences with new products and the application of familiar products in unique ways are encouraged. Transfers of other areas of technology to the solution of optical fabrication and testing problems would be welcomed. Material for this column is solicited from all workers in the field of optics and may be submitted to either editor. Limit your note to 500 words (2 double-spaced typed pages) and one illustration, just enough to get across one specific idea or method.
