SPT - March/April 1970

Official bimonthly publication of the Society of Photo-Technologists distributed to members during the early 1970s. This March-April 1970 issue is the second volume of the journal and documents a pivotal moment in the organization's history, with membership growth of 800 members and strategic initiatives reshaping the photo-technologist profession. The centerpiece article, "Workshop Practice and Management," provides hands-on guidance for camera repair shop operators and technicians on streamlining workflow, optimizing workspace layout, and managing repair operations during an era of rapid camera technology evolution. The issue includes executive secretary updates on organizational development, a letters section where technicians exchange technical insights and professional perspectives, president's pages outlining society direction, and a service and sales directory connecting members with suppliers and peers. Dedicated service notes examine specialized diagnostic equipment—digital timers and oscilloscope-type instruments—helping workshop managers evaluate tools essential for precision camera repair work. Across its pages, the publication captures the professional standards, technical knowledge, and collaborative spirit defining camera repair practice in the early 1970s, making it an important historical record of workshop methodology and industry best practices from this formative decade.
