Hi Marshall
I really should have provided the link ..... sorry about that.
The following will take you straight to the digital archive of Volume
15/4. The historical article can be found on page 41 and the TCT 25 on
page 50.

Also fyi, global digital subscriptions for the magazine are completely
free of charge.
Regards, Rachel
