For as long as we can remember it has been the norm to see a print copy of “Industrial Heating” in the lobby of every commercial heat treater in North America. From a number of sources we have been lead to believe that IH will continue with the magazine but at least in North America in a digital format only to which we have to say what a shame. Print magazines in general have for some time been dying a long, very protracted death but it is still a shame to see them slowly disappearing. On a personal level I can see that my magazine subscriptions have dropped from quite a few to one only (Yachting magazine by the way) so it is no surprise that the heat treatment industry has also seen this transition but I don’t have to like it. I have to say I am going to miss reading IH while waiting at appointments.
