(i) That the present Underwriters' ruling, regarding the use of noninflammable film be approved by this Society. (2) That a universal standard be adopted for approved non-inflammable film; so that manufacturers desiring to make and sell portable projectors may co-operate and turn out an interchangeable product. (3) That the term "Portable Projector" and its definition be added to the Society's list of motion picture nomenclature. I also submit the following film standard as per drawing, which seems to me to fully meet all requirements. With a standardized noninflammable film, universally adopted by all manufacturers, a film that will, if possible, permit printing by reduction from standard negatives— I see no reason why the portable projector may not come into its own. It could thus enter its field of service, unhampered by the stigma of criminal risk; safe-guarding its users as conscientiously as does its big brother — the professional projector. 32
