Abstract
A salute to Bell & Howell Co. on its 75th anniversary, giving a brief history of the company and its origins. The article covers the introduction of B&H early cameras and the development of 8-mm equipment. The B&H system addressed two of the major problems of the fledgling movie industry: flickering images and lack of standardization of equipment. Early B&H standards for 35-mm film and equipment were the basis for many standards issued in the formative years of the SMPE, now the SMPTE.
