Abstract: This paper presents a brief description of the advantages of optical compression for producing wide screen pictures. There is included an exposition of the design and operating characteristics of cylindrical compression objectives, with particular reference to the high degree of central and marginal definition attainable. This latter is compared with the performance of existing motion picture lenses. In this connection there is presented a detailed quantitative description of the definition attainable with high-grade motion picture lenses. These data are correlated with information as to the physiological requirements for satisfactory definition on the screen.
