Magic lantern: Difference between revisions

The '''[[Choreutoscope]]''' was invented around 18661870 by the [[Greenwich]] engineer [[Lionel SmithJohn Beale]] and demonstrated at the Royal Polytechnic. It projected six pictures from a long slide and used a hand-cranked mechanism for intermittent movement of the slide and synchronized shutter action. The mechanism became a key to the development of the movie camera and projector. The Choreutoscope was used at the first professional public demonstration of the [[Kinetoscope]] to explain its principles.<ref name="LivingPictures">{{Cite book |last=Rossell |first=Deac |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WVVX4NHS8TwC&q=choreutoscope&pg=PA86 |title=Living Pictures: The Origins of the Movies |date=1998 |publisher=State University of New York Press |isbn=0-585-06234-X |location=Albany, New York |oclc=42636554}}</ref>{{Rp|86}}
