Abstract
Last summer, Dr. Lozier, as Chairman of the Screen Brightness Committee, initiated a discussion of the scientific basis for establishing screen-brightness values, in order to secure technical advice for the Committee. Prof. O'Brien suggested that a conference be held at Rochester, N.Y., and as a matter of expediency only men available in Rochester were asked to attend. These were men actively engaged in the fields of projection optics and psychology. This report covers the discussion held at Rochester on June 19, 1950.
