We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
474 INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS [J. S. M. p. E
DATE OF RECEIPT OF MATERIAL RELATIVE TO THE PUBLICATION DATE
Material for the technical section of the JOURNAL, must be in the hands of the editor not later than the 20th of the second month preceding the date of issue. This deadline date applies also to any other material for which the author desires to see galley proof. For example, any material of a technical nature which is to appear in the July issue of the JOURNAL, must be mailed early enough to be received by the editor by the 20th of May.
Abstracts, reviews, and material of a strictly news nature must be received by the editor not later than the 7th of the month preceding the date of issue. No proof will be submitted to authors for material of this class. For example, all material in this class to be included in the July issue must be received by the editor by the 7th of June.
STANDARDIZATION OF USAGE FOR THE JOURNAL
It seems desirable to establish a style as to typography, form, and spelling which will be consistent from issue to issue. The vocabulary and forms of expression of the motion picture engineer are specialized to such an extent that there is no inclusive published compendium of terms to which one can refer. We believe one of the services which the JOURNAL, can render to the industry is in the standardization of verbal usage.
Authors of papers can assist the editorial office to a great extent by conforming to the suggestions which follow. We wish it understood, however, that this office will welcome criticism of any of the items presented. We shall be glad to have brought to our attention additional matters of verbal usage which seem to demand standardization through the pages of the JOURNAL.
MECHANICAL FORM OF THE MANUSCRIPT
Text. — Papers should always be typewritten on only one side of the paper. It is desirable to send for publication the original (ribbon copy)— a carbon copy is easily erased and may become illegible. Double spacing should be used so as to provide space for interlined editorial correction.
Illustrations. — Each drawing or photograph should occupy a separate sheet and must be of a type which will reproduce well. Blueprints, photostats, or sepia prints cannot be accepted. Tracings or line drawings should be made with black india ink on white paper or tracing cloth. Closely spaced coordinate lines on curves should be avoided.
