D. E. HYNDMAN complished generally. However, since much of the film being supplied to and used by the Armed Forces is of the acetate safety base type, it is possible that this impetus may carry over into the post-war era. MR. RYDER: The printed matter which has appeared in the JOURNAL relative to both film protection and acetate film is available to the public either at the Academy Library or at the Los Angeles Public Library and at the Society's offices in New York. MR. CASPAR: Will it be possible to have the JOURNAL carry a list of the im- portant reports cited by Mr. Hyndman? MR. RYDER: I will bring the matter to the attention of the responsible parties in the Society. MR. LESHING: What are film manufacturers doing relative to the future use of acetate base film? MR. HYNDMAN: To the best of my knowledge all film manufacturers are interested in the general use of acetate base film when manufacturing capacities and the improved physical characteristics of the material will permit practical and economical production. MR. CORBIN: Most of the film furnished to the Armed Forces is acetate or safety base, this includes both 35-mm and 16-mm film.
