BRITISH KINEMATOGRAPHY
VOLUME 18, No. I
JANUARY, 1951
THE NEW FORMAT
A TECHNICAL Journal is one of the most valuable assets that a scientific society can possess. Not only does it keep the members informed of what is going on in other branches of their Society, but in many cases it is the only permanent record of original material presented at the meetings and discussions. As Professor Kapp has said : "The status of a scientific body is judged by the standards of its publications."
For this reason the Journal Committee has spent a great deal of time during the past year in discussing how best to improve British Kinematography both in contents and style, so that it can claim to be truly representative of British kinematograph technique.
One of the suggestions which has been put into effect is the altered format in which this issue appears. The increase in page area will enable better reproductions to be made, and the readability cf the text matter has been improved by the change in column width.
A brighter appearance of the contents is matched by a brighter cover, which has been specially designed for the Society.
Your Committee will use their best efforts to see that the technical standard of British Kinematography is maintained, and is confident that the changes will meet with the approval of all members.
