Your company will be automatically entered into both the North American and
European Directories.
Please take the time necessary to ensure that your company receives its
FREE editorial entry in the suppliers grids by filling out all the relevant
sections appropriate to the products and services that you offer.
You can check your existing entry at our Web Site at www.rapidnews.com
For companies supplying more than one product in any one section, only fill
out one questionnaire,
indicating the capabilities of the entire range of products under each
section heading.
The 1998 Directory is the most comprehensive listing of suppliers of
products and services used in a time-compresssion engineering process, and
will be used by the subscribers of Time-Compression Technologies
throughout the year to source suppliers to assist in their exacting
time-to-market endeavours.
Don't miss this opportunity to see your company listed.
Questionnaires should be returned to the Editor of Time-Compression
Technologies - at the office listed on the back page of this document.
Questionnaires must be returned before 22nd December 1997 to ensure FREE
