Camber

Camber was a fanzine published first by Fred Robinson of Cardiff and later by Alan Dodd of Hoddesdon, Herts., with 14 issues from 1953 through 1964. Robinson seemingly lost interest after two issues. Dodd wrote to him to enquire about the status of Camber and Robinson proposed that he and Dodd co-edit, although that came to nothing and Dodd took over the fanzine wholesale from issue 3. Dodd described what happened in Ploy #4 although his timescale doesn't make sense as it implies about three years between Camber #2 and #3 whereas it wasn't much more than a year.

It was in the Top Ten Fanzines of the Skyrack Reader's Poll in 1959 and 1964.
