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.

NOTICE This booklet is printed primarily for distribution outside the membership of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers and so does not contain more of the minutes of the Chicago meeting than is thought would be of interest to the Industry at large. The report and recommendation of the Committee on Optics, which was approved and adopted, appears herein. The other Committees reported progress in their work but asked further time for investigation before making recommendations, which later will doubtless appear in the Transactions of the next, the October, meeting. The standards recommended herein are those which met the unanimous approval of the engineers present at the Chicago meeting; all subjects about which there was any difference of opinion being laid over for further consideration. The few definitions herein are those which were adopted to be added to the definition of terms approved at the Atlantic City meeting, and which appear in the Transactions of that meeting.
