4 D. E. HYNDMAN Vol 42, No. l The Committees on Cinematography, Color, Laboratory Practice, Preservation of Film, Process Photography, Sound, Standards, Thea- ter Engineering, Projection Practice, and Screen Brightness have published numerous reports dealing with the various specific and general phases of their particular fields which have become technical and practical reference sources for information about procedures, methods of test, specifications, design, construction, operation of equipment, and the like, for the production of motion pictures. The Committees on Exchange Practice, Laboratory Practice, Preservation of Film, Standards, and Screen Brightness have pub- lished reports that have accomplished a result for the handling of film during distribution similar to that done by these and other committees for the production of motion pictures. The Committees on Exchange Practice, Sound, Standards, Theater Engineering, Projection Practice, Theater Design, and Screen Bright- ness have provided very specific recommendations and specifications which have become reference sources for exhibition practice. The magnitude, scope, and value of these technical or engineering contributions become immediately apparent by reference to the index of the JOURNAL of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers from the date of initial publication of the first issue in the year of 1916 up to and including the current issue. To realize the extent of these con- tributions it does seem worth while to mention a few of the committee reports that have become an integral part of the motion picture industry: Committee on Color (1) Commercial Color Systems (1930). (2) Commercial Color Systems (1931). (.?) Commercial Color Systems, Classification of Color Patents (1931). (4) Present Status of Color (1932). (.7) Nomenclature and Standardization of Color (1935). (tf) Glossary of Color Photography (1935). Committee on Exchange Practice (/) Current Practice in Handling Release Prints (1933). (2) Release Print Length (1934). (.?) 2000-Ft Reel (1935). Committee on Laboratory Practice (1) Current Laboratory Practice (1936).
