| Administrative History | Polygon magazine appears to have been a continuation of the Battersea Polytechnic Magazine which ended in 1931. The only difference between them was the new title and a different numbering system. Polygon, however, was produced annually rather than issued twice or three times a year as its predecessor had been. The last issue was probably that for 1961 although a magazine with the title 'The Battersea College of Technology Magazine,' was published in 1964 - see PN/003. This may have been an attempt at a continuation of Polygon under a different name as there were often difficulties in obtaining sufficient contributions for each issue. No other issues of the Battersea College of Technology Magazine are known. |
