5 n This raises the question, "How do I get to know the other NAEB engineers ?" To date, there have been two NAEB-sponsored television engineering workshops and the recently concluded radio engineering seminar at Allerton Park. This makes a total of 80 NAEB engineers who have had an opportunity to get acquainted with those who attended a workshop or seminar. Another way would be for engin¬ eers to take a more active part in NAEB activities by attending NAEB regional meetings and the annual NAEB Convention held in October of each year. The Engineering Committee has spent considerable time dis¬ cussing professional advancement and recognition of technical per¬ sonnel . They have done something about technical advancement through the workshops and seminars. Recognition is something else, and the writer believes this is something which has to begin with the person concerned. We believe progress is made along this line. We see educational station engineers at annual meetings of the Institute of Radio Engineers, Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers and the Audio Engineering Society. Many attended the equipment exhibit at the recent NARTB Convention in Chicago. To us this is an indication that our engineers are advancing professionally. Their station directors and managers know attendance at such meetings is stimulating and worthwhile. We know of one instance where an in¬ stitution pays its chief engineer's professional society annual dues. The point is obvious. They must believe it is worth the expenditure. Well, it looks as if we took the long way around to say you’re going to receive a questionnaire asking what test equipment who have and what you’d like to use on a loan basis. We ask your cooperation in completing the form we send and promptly returning it, ******** A new 16-mm test film that measures registration; aperture size, resolution, shutter timing, centering of the image, steadiness of its own test image with respect to the perforation, and also pro¬ vides a "thousandths scale" for measuring film movement in double¬ exposure testing of printer steadiness has been announced by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
