Problems in Motion Picture Engineering
Amy Goldsmith · Journal of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers · 1934
After defining motion picture engineering as the production of an acceptable semblance of reality, there are discussed the functions of the engineer and the artist, as well as certain aspects of parts engineering, including the improvement of the film, the camera, lenses, studio lighting, sound recording, laboratory processes, theater monitoring and maintenance, sound reproduction, theater architecture, and other allied matters. An open mind and a determined attempt favoring continuous evolution of the art are urged.
