Special Engineering Problems in a Motion Picture Studio

W. T. Strohm

The Engineering Department at the Twentieth Century-Fox Film Studios is responsible for the various technical operations of the studio, which can be classified under the headings of Air-Conditioning, Plumbing, Foundry, Mechanical, or Electrical activities. These responsibilities cover a considerable portion of the technical activities of a studio, and a great deal of effort is required to take care of the routine matters that arise each day. However, the interesting work of this department lies in the special engineering problems that arise in the production of motion pictures. The paper describes some of the various engineering problems that have been encountered in the production of motion pictures at this studio.
