...'Manual of Sub-Standard
Cinematography'...
I have a sudden vision of a book containing only two words:
"American television"
:-).
Nothing to do with cine films, but at one time the best grade of
electrical meter you could get was called 'Sub Standard'. It meant it had
been checked and claibrated against a primary standard.
Needless to say this term caused a lot of confusion, people could not
understnad why a 'suh standard voltmeter' was considerably more expeisnbe
than a 'first grade voltmeter'/
