Address by Mr. Henry D. Hubbard of the National Bureau of Standards at the Washington Meeting of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, May 9–12, 1921

Mr. Hubbard: It is a real pleasure to hear and meet with a group of men who are doing things so well worth while in so important a field as yours. The fact that I am an outsider in a sense fits me to speak on the motion pictures of tomorrow, for it is really true that hints may arise naturally outside which would not as easily develop from within. When I was invited to speak to you I promised to set aside the technical difficulties to be encountered and take a long look ahead remembering that time is purely relative and our vision of 1950 may come whenever we are ready to make it true. Certainly we must agree with Mr. Jenkins that the motion picture is destined to be, perhaps, the greatest industry of the world.
