- Abstract
- On 24 January 1977 the SMPTE Engineering Vice-President received a letter, submitted by ABC and CBS following their joint study, requesting the Society to set up a special ad hoc committee to assist in resolving a potentially serious problem arising with the rapid development of one-inch helical tape recording systems. The letter reflected the broadcast industry's concern over the proliferation of systems with non-interchangeable formats and offered a proposed format for a continuous field (nonsegmented) one-inch helical system for professional broadcast quality applications. The letter stressed the need for prompt action and urged the Society to move expeditiously on the matter.

bio
Alex E. Alden joined the 20th Century-Fox Research Department in 1946 under E. I. Sponable after a six-year service with the U.S. Navy, where he taught various subjects on photography from aerial mapping to motion-picture production. At 20th Century-Fox, Mr. Alden was responsible for optical and mechanical research on studio cameras, laboratory printers and theatrical projectors. During this 15-year assignment, he contributed to the development of the lenticular color process and the CinemaScope system. Currently the Manager of Engineering Services at SMPTE, Mr. Alden has administered the engineering activities at the Society's Headquarters since 1961. He is a Fellow of the SMPTE, a member of the Standards Engineering Society and a member of the ANSI International Standards Council. - Copyright
