Triode

Triode was a mimeographed fanzine edited (mostly) by Eric Bentcliffe and Terry Jeeves.

Its first issue said it was 'printed and published' by Bentcliffe (as editor), Jeeves (as art editor), and Eric Jones (treasurer). Jones dropped out after the first issue and issues were subsequently credited to Bentcliffe and Jeeves. #18 was edited by Bentcliffe and published by Jeeves, an arrangement that continued until the end. Dale R. Smith was US agent until 1960.

When the title was revived in 1974 after a fourteen year gap, Bentcliffe wrote in the editorial of #19:

Fandom, in the context of fanzine publishing is, to me, something to be enjoyed, something to have fun with. The new, revived Triode then, will be a fanzine to enjoy oneself in; a vehicle in which I shall attempt to ride easy. There will be no pretentious poetry, no dubious social comment (unless it applies to a science-fiction or fantasy story of current interest); there will be articles of a serious nature which do not take themselves too seriously, and there will also, I hope,  be a whole scad of faanish humour. And that is as close a definition of an Editorial Policy as you are likely to get. Care to dance ?
