Book excerpt: Excerpt from Television Standards and Practice: Selected Papers From the Proceedings of the National Television System Committee and Its Panels This volume has been compiled from The Proceedings of the National Television System Committee, on which are based the standards adopted in 1941 by the Federal Communications Commission for commercial television broadcasting in the United States. The original record, 11 volumes totaling approximately 2,000 pages, was prepared by the members of the Committee and its Panels during the period from August, 1940, to March, 1941. It constitutes a thorough and authoritative examination into the technical bases of a public television service. The distribution of this material was limited to the personnel of the N.T.S.C. Although copies are on file in several of the larger engineering libraries, the record is for the most part inaccessible to the members of the television industry. The Committee, realizing that wider distribution of its reports was desirable, authorized the preparation of a suitably edited version of its record for publication in book form. The plan adopted in editing the record has been to select reports and papers which directly underlie the official television standards. Since the standards themselves are concerned with the whole of the television system, these papers comprise an authoritative symposium on the engineering problems of the field, one that should prove of value to the engineers on whose shoulders rests the responsibility of providing the equipment for public television service. The task of selection has not proved easy, involving as it has the reduction of the record to about one-fifth of its original length. The detailed minutes of the meetings have been omitted in favor of reports of direct technical interest. To orient the reader not familiar with the work of the Committee, an introductory chapter has been prepared by the editor.
