Abstract: The Society of Motion Picture Engineers was founded in the year 1916 by Mr. C. Francis Jenkins for the purpose, as expressed in the Constitution, of “advancement in the theory and practice of motion picture engineering and the allied arts and sciences, the standardization of the mechanisms and practices employed therein, and the dissemination of scientific knowledge by publication.” From its inception, the activities of the Society, including the proceedings at the semi-annual conventions, have been recorded in the Transactions. The initial amount of published scientific data was of very modest dimensions, in 1920 the size of the Transactions had increased to 240 pages; in 1924 to 508 pages; in 1927 to 768 pages; and in 1928 to 1200 pages. Up to this period, the engineer had been regarded by many motion picture executives as a being very much apart from the industry and, in fact, one of the outstanding executives admitted at a banquet tendered by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to the Society in Hollywood in 1928, that previous to that occasion he had not even heard of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers.
