	Kinetoscope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Instrumental to the birth of American movie culture, the Kinetoscope also had a major impact in Europe; its influence abroad was magnified by Edison's decision not to seek international patents on the device, facilitating numerous imitations of and improvements on the technology.
		Despite extensive promotion, the Kinetoscope never made it to the Chicago fair, and the planned commercialization of the device was delayed for various reasons, including the bank panic of 1893, which led Edison to curtail many of his operations, and his renewed focus on iron ore work.
		One of the new firms to enter the field was the Kinetoscope Exhibition Company; the firm's partners, brothers Otway and Grey Latham, Otway's friend Enoch Rector, and their employer, Samuel J. Tilden Jr., sought to combine the popularity of the Kinetoscope with that of prizefighting.

	Today in History: August 31
		On August 31, 1897, Thomas Edison received a patent for the kinetoscope, the forerunner of the motion-picture film projector.
		By the 1897 patent date, however, both the camera (kinetograph) and the method of viewing films (kinetoscope) were on their way out.
		The kinetoscope was soon replaced, however, by screen projectors which made it possible for more than one person to view the novel silent movies at a time.

	Edison's Kinetoscope and Its Films: A History to 1896 - Review Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television - Find ...
		This book is the proverbial 'labor of love', written by a man who, over the past 50 years, has examined all the kinetoscopes and kinotephones known to exist in the world.
		Millions of people flocked to kinetoscope 'parlours' in 1890s America and paid five cents a ticket for the privilege of standing at the machine and looking down through its viewer at a motion picture of approximately 30 seconds duration--the film being wound and run by so-called 'operators'.
		Therefore, a great deal of the text is devoted to detailed information related to reostats, sprocket hole spacing, etc. and the technical differences between Edison's kinetoscopes and such well-known competitors as the indestructable coin-operated mutoscopes--that would go on to be a mainstay at penny arcades for decades into the 20th century.

		Realising that, a mistake on Edison's part meant there was no patent held on the Kinetoscope in England, Paul seized the opportunity and agreed to make several machines for the Greek gentlemen.
		Paul successfully copied the Kinetoscope and made several machines which, after fulfilling his order with the Greeks, he sold to other showmen.
		Needing a camera to produce films for his Kinetoscope copies, Paul turned to photographer Birt Acres who he had recently met and in February 1895 Acres had provided Paul with provisional designs for a moving picture camera.

		[1] Edison's kinetoscope also reflected the inventor's determination to do "for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear." He hoped to duplicate the commercial success of his phonograph, which was then attracting patrons who paid a nickel to hear a brief recording through a set of earphones.
		At first, manufacturers of the kinetoscope believed that its individualized format for viewing, similar to that of the nickel-in-the-slot phonograph, would yield substantial, long-term income.
		Edison's profits from the sale of kinetoscopes alone totaled $75,000 by March 1895,[6] but soon the demand for kinetoscopes receded and profits from machine sales vanished.

	HistoryLink Essay: Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope -- forerunner to projected motion pictures -- is demonstrated in Seattle ...
		Although viewed at the time as a mere novelty, today the Kinetoscope is recognized as the machine that first brought motion picture technology to the general public.
		Although many inventors (in particular the Lumière brothers in France) were experimenting with motion photography in the 1880s and 1890s, Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope machine -- which debuted to the public in the spring of 1894 -- was the first built exclusively for presenting this new technology to the masses.
		Often dubbed a “peep show” entertainment, the Kinetoscope was a large wooden box about four feet tall, with a small brass viewer on top.

	Chapter 3.3: A Cognitive Framework for Understanding the Invention Process
		The drum cylinder Edison used in both the phonograph and the kinetoscope serves as an example: it became for Edison a standard solution to the problem of creating a smooth, continuous rotation.
		To interrupt this rotation to allow pictures to be shown in his kinetoscope, he used another mechanical representation: a double-acting pawl he had developed for use in stock tickers (Carlson, 1990).
		The difference between a mental model and a mechanical representation is that the former is incomplete and represents a possible path to a solution, whereas the latter is embodied in a completed device that represents a solution to part of a problem.

		Edison's kinetoscope reflected the inventor's determination to do “for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear.” He hoped to duplicate the commercial success of his phonograph, which was then attracting patrons who paid a nickel to hear a brief recording through a set of earphones.
		The Kinetoscope ultimately became America’s first commercially successful motion picture exhibitor, charging a nickel a time for the ability to look through a viewer and watch a series of images on a loop go by.
		With the Kinetoscope, each machine was $250, so even if Edison and Co. were willing to sell them to private individuals, there wouldn't be a whole lot of takers in that day who could have afforded the price of one.
