370 COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES Monitoring and Control of Sound in Theaters H. B. SANTEE, Chairman L. ISAACS R. MIEHLING F. H. RICHARDSON M. RUBEN L. TOWNSEND Progress and Improvements in Projector Design and Accessories H. GRIFFIN, Chairman S. GLAUBER J. J. HOPKINS L. ISAACS The problem of film buckle was referred to President Crabtree for consideration by some other committee. The subcommittee on "Progress and Improvements in Projector Design and Accessories" will also consider this question. The chairman briefly described a new curved film track which was designed to aid in the projection of buckled film and announced that a technical paper on this device, written by its inventor, will be submitted to the committee at the next meeting. The new standard release print was discussed and Mr. Richardson voiced an objection to the black circle motor and change-over cues which are now a part of the standard change-over practice. The chairman ruled that the standard should be given a further chance to function before any changes are advocated.
