SOCIETY ANNOUNCEMENTS ATLANTIC COAST SECTION At a meeting of the Section held at the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York, N. Y., on January 15th, Mr. Lawrence R. Martin, Production Technician, Camera Works, Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N. Y., presented a paper on "The Motion Picture as a Tool in Science and Engineering." Mr. Martin discussed applications of the motion picture apart from the usual role the motion picture plays in the theater as a vehicle of entertainment. Methods were described of recording the indications of aeroplane panel instruments, reactions of the aeroplane operator while flying, irregularities of motion in production machinery, calibration of special gasoline storage tanks, and study of the action of locomotive wheels upon the rails. Sixteen-mm pictures showing these various applications were projected. The next meeting of the Section will be held on February 19th.
