Abstract: THE ENQINEERINC ACTIVITIES of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers are much more extensive than perhaps most members realize. Engineering Committee reports appear in the Journal from time to time, but usually these give a detailed picture in a rather limited field rather than a broad view of the total activity. The frequent publication of proposed American Standards is another evidence of Society engineering activity, but this has sometimes created the feeling that the preparation of Standards proposals is the only activity in which the Engineering Committees of the Society are engaged. For these reasons, the writer has been encouraged to prepare this present report, designed to provide an overall picture which, while perhaps over-simplified in the particular details most familiar to any one reader, will at the same time give him information of general interest in other less familiar fields.
