Preface The plan adopted of collecting all the footnotes at the end of each chapter was not decided upon without due deliberation, and while it may be unusual it allows the text to be read in a connected orderly sequence. In order to facilitate the use of the notes the first reference number in each chapter has the number of the footnote page attached in parenthesis. It should be pointed out also that frequently additional information is given in the footnotes. Some may consider the inclusion of such subjects as the sensitizing of plates and other topics is not justified. But after careful consideration it was decided that the omission of the same would leave gaps, whic would entail the writing of other textbooks. The inclusion of many \ stents, particularly those dealing wtih cinematography in colors, may lead some critic to look upon these as so much padding. It should be pointed out, however, that the author considers all specifications as constituting part of the technical literature, and they stand on the same footing as other publications. To have omitted them would have been an unwarrantable omission, as there is practically no other literature, on color cinematography at least, and would have seriously detracted from the work as a book of reference. E. J. Wall. Wollaston, Mass. June, 1925.
