Alex E. Alden

This Society plays an exact role in the establishment of American Standards in the motion-picture and television fields. To insure accurate, well-written documents to portray the technological agreement of good engineering practice, the Society has developed a system of engineering committees, each playing an important role in this carefully controlled standards program. The functions at each step in the progression from the proposed idea to the final approved American Standard are set forth.
