Report of Standards and Nomenclature Committee 41
camera men in order to bring the action back to normal when projected fast, and in the majority of studios the cameras are cranked at 85 to 90 feet per minute, though they thought they were taking at 16 pictures a second.
President Porter: I should like to point out that according to our rules, any action today is not final ; they rest until the fall convention. Are you ready to act on the recommendation of the committee that the taking speed be 24 per second for sound pictures ?

For the variable area, as made by the RCA, to accommodate their sound track, it should be a track narrower than 100 mils, bordered by
