174 BRITISH KINEMATOGRDPHY Vol. 17, NO. 5 some difficulties concerning publication of the paper, " Motion Picture Film for Television," by Dr. O. Sandvik and T. G. Veal, but these had been overcome and the paper would appear in the November issue. Difficulties had arisen in finalising the Lecture Programme for the first half of the session, and it was considered important that each Division should have a reserve paper which, at short notice, could be used to replace any item on the programme. In regard to a System of Classification for the Library, it was recommended that a Technical Sub-Committee be appointed with the following terms of reference : "To report whether it is desirable to have a System of Classification and, if the answer is in the affirmative, to submit proposals for the classification and an estimate of the cost of operating and maintaining the system." — Report received and noted. Education Committee. — The course of lectures on Lighting for Kinematography, taking place at Ealing Studios, had been made possible through the good offices of Sir Michael Balcon, Major R. P. Baker and Mr. B. Honri. The syllabus had been widely circulated and it was likely that the course would be well supported. — Report received and adopted. Annual General Meeting. — Arising from the suggestions made that large screen television should come within the ambit of the Society, certain proposals had been made for the consideration of the Councils of the British Kinematograph Society and the Television Society. The proposals included a scheme for members of both the Societies to attend the meetings of the other on a reciprocal basis, a means of obtaining the Journals of both the Societies at a reduced rate and the formation of a Telekinema Group. ■ The Late Humphrey Jennings. — A Committee had been appointed under the Chairmanship of Denis Forman to arrange a Memorial Film Performance for the late Humphrey Jennings. Great sympathy was felt for the project and every possible assistance would be given. The proceedings then terminated. Owing to pressure upon space, technical abstracts and other material are unavoidably held over. Specialist in 16mm. Film Production lky SchofieU F.R.S.A, StaB < .bury M*nUe «.
