Ellis W. D'Arcy

The Society's Sound Committee and the 16mm and 8mm Committee have been engaged for the past 18 months in the establishment of essential standards for the development of all phases of 8mm magnetic sound motion pictures. The standards decided upon involve the production of special test films. The reasoning and logic involved in the formation of these standards and the preparation of the films are explained. Actions taken by the Committee in this area during the past two years are outlined. Production of these special test films involves the use of unusual techniques. Methods used to prepare these films are described.
