Revision of SMPE Standards Proposed for Adoption by the Society

The following edition of the Standards of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers is based upon the previous edition, published in November, 1934, and contains all the revisions and additions that have evolved in the interim as a result of developments in the motion picture art. A few new drawings have been added in the 35-mm, and 16-mm, categories, as also a complete set of 8-mm, drawings. Quite a number of tolerances have been added, where lacking in the previous edition. — The complete body of standards herein contained have received initial approval by the Standards Committee, and comments from the membership of the Society are solicited. If no objections arise, the Board of Governors will take action at their next meeting on adopting them as SMPE standards, after which they will be submitted to the Sectional Committee on Motion Pictures (ASA) for approval by the American Standards Association. Although a number of these standards have already been approved by the ASA, the complete body of standards will be re-submitted in view of the new plan of numbering and the single-sheet format.
