Practice indicates that it is acceptable to the Standards Committee and to the Board of Governors of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers. Its publication by the SMPE constitutes a recommendation to interested parties that it be utilized as a habitual procedure, an\i that comments or criticisms concerning its effectiveness in practice are welcomed and will be considered.
American Standard. — American Standard is a form of approval given by the American Standards Association to specifications, safety codes, methods of test, definitions, abbreviations, and the like. Its adoption and publication by the authorization of the American Standards Association recommend to interested parties that it be accepted as a standard in industry, commerce, and elsewhere because it is believed to be technically, scientifically, and industrially effective and acceptable. An American Standard, having been approved according to a prescribed democratic procedure by a nationally recognized body of technical and scientific experts or specialists drawn from engineering organizations, industry, the government, consumers, and other legitimately interested groups, will normally receive full approval and acceptance in practice by a wide group of users.
Under the heading of Specifications would be included tables of dimensions with tolerances necessary to insure interchangeability in quantity production as well as requirements of a chemical, physical, or metallurgical nature necessary to insure a quality. Specifications, of course, may also include a definite and specific method of test.
The general standardization procedure is based upon the democratic method that a proposal, to become an SMPE Recommended Practice or American Standard, may be originated or proposed either singly or collectively by any interested person, group, commercial organization, or scientific, technical, or engineering society, etc.
A proposal when submitted to the SMPE is referred to the Standards Committee. This committee is composed of authoritative engineers and technicians of the motion picture industry, representing producers, distributors, exhibitors, and manufacturers of all types of equipment utilized in the industry. The Committee follows a very specific procedure prescribed by the Administrative Practices of the Society. The Committee carefully studies the proposal, prepares the necessary forms, and requests written comment from interested parties before deciding whether the proposal should be classified for consideration as an SMPE Recommended Practice or for submission to the American Standards Association recommending its consideration for an American Standard.
Following approval of the proposal by the Standards Committee, it is submitted to the Board of Governors and, if approved, is published in the JOURNAL with an announcement of its validation as an SMPE Recommended Practice.
It is unlikely, however, that a proposal would not first become an
