Abstract: The new American War Standard Nomenclature for Motion Picture Film Used in Studios and Processing Laboratories represents the first fruits of a unified effort to prepare a standard reference source for motion picture terminology. It was requested by the Armed Forces in order that a common understanding could be brought about within the motion picture industry and the Armed Forces as to what is meant by terms used daily in the production of picture and sound negatives and the related laboratory processes or methods employed in making the finished sound-film release prints exhibited in theaters or in the field to troops overseas. The major part of this standard was drawn up by the subgroup on Nomenclature of Subcommittee C on Laboratory Practice of ASA War Committee on Photography and Cinematography, Z52, comprising Captain L. T. Goldsmith of the Signal Corps Photographic Center; D. E. Hyndman, president of the SMPE; W. F. Kelley, manager of the Research Council of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; and W. C. Miller, chairman of the Committee on Rerecording 35-Mm Features for 16-Mm Release of the Research Council of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The foreword, glossary, and production flow chart are reprinted here. Complete copies of the standard, including a list of personnel of War Committee on Photography and Cinematography, Z52, and Subcommittee C on 16-Mm Laboratory Practice, and index, may be obtained from the American Standards Association, 70 East 45th St., New York 17.
