T APPRECIATION HE success of a publication rests with its contributors, and the past year has seen "The Cinematographic Annual" placed on a new plane of usefulness to the craft it represents. I wish to express not only my own personal thanks, but the thanks of our organization as a whole, to the writers who made this possible. They have delved deep into technical science to give us new knowledge. They have labored painstakingly in difficult research, to cast new lights on our craft. Theirs has been a Herculean task, and performed for the sheer love of it. No word of thanks, no commendation, can adequately express what they have so unselfishly done for the good of our calling. I cannot hope, therefore, to fully express our thanks, or the deep sense of appreciation for a work that stands prominently among the scientific tasks of the year. I can only, in my humble way, assure our writers that their efforts have been of a greater value to us, and have aroused a deeper sense of gratitude than mere words can express. John Arnold, President, The American Society of Cinematographers. [7]
