DescriptionIn 1897, Thomas A. Edison designed and built the first Projecting Kinetoscope. Edison’s Kinetoscope was capable of projecting moving film images. Prior to the development of the Projecting Kinetoscope, Edison developed the 1887 Kinetoscope that allowed one person at a time to peep into a self-contained Kinetoscope to view a 35 mm strip of celluloid film 50 feet long (at 15 frames per second, the film ran to 15 seconds). The new Projecting Kinetoscope was based on some of the same technology as the old Kinetoscope, but incorporated a powerful light source, the “lamphouse,” that propelled images onto a screen. The Projecting Kinetoscope's construction incorporated a great deal of the essential mechanism of the modern movie projector.The following pamphlet contains instructions on setting up and operating the 1901 Edison Projecting Kinetoscope model manufactured and distributed by the Edison Manufacturing Company in Orange, New Jersey.
