Moore is known internationally for his work in the field of photographic sensitometry and for his researches on latensification. His investigations of hypersensitizing and of the reciprocity law failure have been of considerable value to cinematography in all its applications. The Fellowship is awarded for his keen application to these matters and the outstanding success he has achieved. Charles Vinten For a period of over 25 years Mr. Vinten has been engaged in the design and development of cinematograph equipment, and the value of his work is recognized both in this country and in the U.S.A. The Fellowship is awarded particularly for the developments in camera design for which he has personally been responsible. Denis Ward, Ph.D., B.Sc., F.R.P.S. Dr. Ward has produced a number of specialized films of exceptional high quality, which have been received both in this country and abroad as outstanding examples of cinematograph technique. During the last ten years Dr. Ward has, by improved production methods, advanced the quality of colour films, and these improved methods have been made generally available through the papers he has presented to the Society and his other contributions. The Fellowship is awarded in recognition of these advances, and for his contribution to the progress of the Society since he has been Chairman of the 16mm. Film Division.
