II. Film Density At the last meeting of the Society, the Committee was directed to investigate the question of film density. This matter was referred to the Committee on Films and Emulsions for comment. It suggested interesting the Film Laboratories and offered facilities for testing. At the instigation of the Publicity Committee a brief talk was given at a banquet of the Allied Film Laboratories Association in an effort to obtain the interest and cooperation of this branch of the industry. This talk has been sent to the Motion Picture News and to the American Cinematographer at their request, to interest other branches, if possible. At a meeting of a special committee of the Motion Picture Directors Association and the Standards Committee, the matter of film density was discussed and it is hoped that further action will be taken by this Society in the near future. The Committee on Standards would like to take this opportunity to express its appreciation of the work of the Publicity Committee in arranging for this meeting, as well as that with the Allied Film Laboratories Association.
Ill . Core Size The size of the core on which raw film stock is wrapped has been brought to the attention of the Society a number of times. Letters requesting recommendation of dimensions have been sent to the Committee on Cameras, on Films and Emulsions, and on Laboratories. No definite suggestions have as yet been made, tho from copies of letters received, there is still interest in the standardizing of these cores.
IV. Reels The Committee has called the attention of the Projection Machines Committee to the discrepancy between the reel dimensions as given in the Montreal transactions, and those in universal use. This was pointed out in the report of the Special Committee of the American Engineering Standards Committee. The Projection Machines Committee has this matter still under consideration.
