Standardization of Sound Negatives and Prints — Part II

Frederick G. Albin

This is a supplement to the initial article of the same title (Jour. SMPTE, 77: 846–850; Nov. 1962), now referred to as the Albin Proposal. A recent article, (Jour. SMPTE, 73: 883–887, Oct. 1964) “Trouble Chart for Variable Area Sound,” by Edgar A. Schuller, discloses the formation in New York City of the Joint Studio Laboratory Sound Committee under chairmanship of Homer Elder. An extensive portion of the article is an imposing list of “factors affecting quality.” The writer offers as additions to this list certain items important to the Albin Proposal since they directly affect cross-modulation. But to avoid the tendency to consider standardization a formidable task, the writer hastens to mitigate the imposing character of the list by these two steps.
