The Role of Standardization in Technological Progress

Abstract: From Time to Time engineering practices are somewhat disturbed by the introduction of proposals that suggest changes in an established system so radical that some concern is developed in areas where the responsibility is primarily that of equipment investment. During these periods of technical unrest the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers is always under pressure to give guidance and direction. The exact role of the Society in relation to the American Standard program has often been misinterpreted and misunderstood. This became most evident at a SMPTE conference several years ago when an unprecedented number of visitors attended a meeting of an Engineering Committee and demanded that the Society write Standards “to prevent possible equipment changes” or “guarantees” that there would be no dimensional changes in the near future to make obsolete the system in current use.
