regard were all the members of the present Armed Forces Committee.
(2) The availability of committees or groups of highly skilled engineers and technical men active in the field of development and production of the devices needed by the military services, such groups being preferably of long standing and experience and accordingly ready to organize and prepare on short notice to attack and solve problems of a nature generally similar to those which they have been previously considering.
By great good fortune, the SMPE was in an excellent position to make available to the military services, or any other appropriate agency, the long experience and skill of its various committees and subcommittees active in certain fields. The Engineering VicePresident of the Society, in conjunction with the Chairman of the Committee on Standards, Mr. F. T. Bowditch; the Chairman of the ASA Sectional Committee on Motion Pictures-Z22, Dr. Alfred N. Goldsmith; and the future Chairman of the Armed Forces Committee, Capt. Lloyd T. Goldsmith, had arranged for the organization or continuation of the activities of a major group of engineering committees of the Society which, with expanded membership, proved highly effective in the type of specification preparation required by the military services.
The roster of the Society's committees was examined and the following committees and their chairmen were selected as ready and suitable for this work. Accordingly, it is desired at this time to express the thanks of the Society and its officers for the loyal and willing service rendered by the chairmen and membership of the following committees :
Committee Chairman
Subcommittee A on 16-Mm Cinematography (Z52) J. B. Contner
Subcommittee B on 16-Mm Sound (Z52) J. A. Maurer
Subcommittee C on 16-Mm Laboratory Practice (Z52) M. R. Boyer
Subcommittee D on 16-Mm Projection (Z52) A. G. Zimmerman
It is certain that but for the immediate availability of these committees, their chairmen and their membership, it would have been difficult indeed to have undertaken the necessary tasks of equipment and method specifications for the military services which were urgently required.
(3) The sponsorship of the entire specification project by a governmental agency in a position to render guidance and financial support
