Abstract: Fifty Years Ago this July, our Society embarked on the long, continuous road of writing and maintaining technical standards for the motion-picture industry. The original handful of engineers has now grown into an organization of well over 6,500 members, whose scope has been expanded to include television. The standardization process today is confined to a group of about three hundred specialists, who work through ten Engineering Committees under the supervision of the Engineering Vice-President, Dr. Deane R. White of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. Each project initiated by these groups is reviewed in a broader manner by the Standards Committee, which is composed of the Chairmen of each Engineering Committee and headed by Bill Wintringham of Bell Telephone Laboratories. The members of this Committee study the proposal in terms of possible conflicts with engineering practices within their own area of responsibility. The proposal then proceeds to one of the two Society-sponsored Sectional Committees of ASA-PH22 on motion pictures, under the chairmanship of Bob Birr of General Electric, or C98 on video-tape recording, chaired by Frank Gillette of General Precision Laboratory.
