16-Mm and 8-Mm Motion Pictures Committee Report

H. J. Hood

It is Some Time since your 16-Mm and 8-Mm Motion Pictures Committee has made a formal report; however, that is no indication of inactivity. For at least the past couple of years, most of the Committee effort, has gone into the development of engineering standards. One of the first projects brought to a successful conclusion by the present Committee was a group of four American Standards establishing dimensions for picture apertures in cameras and projectors, published in the April, 1950, Journal. Now nearing the end of the long, and sometimes rocky, trail leading to approval as an American Standard are proposals relating to a uniform zero point for focusing scales on 16-mm and 8-mm cameras, mounting threads and flange focal distances for camera lenses, A and B windings for 16-mm film raw stock with perforations along one edge, 16-mm motion picture projection reels, splices for 16-mm films for projection and edge numbering of 16-mm film.
