Kinetoscope was forerunner of the motion-picture film projector, invented by Thomas A. Edison and William Dickson of the Early Edison Kinetoscope - Kinetoscope MoviesUnited States in 1891. A large cabinet housing a 50-foot film loop which ran rapidly on spools between an incandescent lamp and a lens while the viewer peered through a peephole. Behind the peephole was a spinning wheel with a narrow slit that acted as a shutter, permitting a momentary view of each of the 46 frames passing in front of the shutter every second. The result was a lifelike representation of persons and objects in motion. Finally, in 1894 the kinetoscope was publicly exhibited through the first kinetoscope parlor which opened on Broadway, in New York City. The kinetoscopes were coin operated and played early Edison motion pictures. After depositing a nickel, the patron viewed a 20-second- to one-minute-long movie. The successfully introduced kinetoscope created an immediate sensation throughout US and Europe, an invention Edison first regarded as an insignificant toy!
